This weekend, Pharrell<\/strong> will launch his first collaboration with adidas in the form of the Stan Smith “Solids” Pack. Though this may come as the first retail release between the music superstar and the brand with the Three Stripes, both parties have been on this grind for a long time. For Pharrell, collaborating on clothing and footwear has been somewhat of an ongoing business and creative endeavor. Focusing strictly on kicks, we take a look back at all of Pharrell’s footwear collabs that have released to the public.<\/p>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2004<\/p>\n

No One Ever Really Dies, do you believe that? Skateboard P and his genre-bending outfit rocked out on a pair of high top Dunks years before the majority of the trends they set would become the norm. Like most Dunk collabs of those days, coloways and composition were somewhat conservative with the big ticket branding coming in the form of an embroidered heel logo. The shoes dropped in January of 2004, serving as a part of the artist series that also featured collabos from ESPO and Halle Berry. Hard to find these days, it’s been said that P’s Dunks were limited to only 1,050 pairs<\/a>. It should also be noted that previous to the release of these Dunks, Pharrell and Chad Hugo were working on Nike Basketball scores, like the one embedded below, as The Neptunes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Reebok Ice Cream Low<\/h2>\n photo via Flight Club<\/a>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2004-2006<\/p>\n

The mid-2000s saw Reebok investing in hip-hop much like adidas is today. Though the approach and designs differ, the RBK roster of that time packed the likes of Jay Z, 50 Cent, and even Lil Wayne for the OG campaign. During that era, Pharrell and Reebok partnered to launch product for P and Nigo’s BBC\/Ice Cream lines. While footwear would release in the form of the Ice Cream Low in a variety of graphic colorways beginning in 2004, the original deal was supposed to also include apparel. Due to quality standards and distribution issues surrounding the collection, Pharrell sued Reebok<\/a> in 2005, with the two parties mutually agreeing to part ways<\/a> soon after.<\/p>\n

Reebok Ice Cream Boardflip<\/h2>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2006<\/a><\/p>\n

Though Pharrell and Nigo would move the BBC and Ice Cream clothing lines to Japan<\/a>, Reebok would still hold the Ice Cream name for footwear and distribute kicks under that monicker for the next few years. The Ice Cream Boardflip would offer a lower priced, more accessible, more skate oriented shoe than its predecessor. While the first Reebok release relied more on lifestyle appeal, the Boardflip<\/a> was backed by Terry Kennedy<\/a> and other Ice Cream team skaters.<\/p>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2006<\/p>\n

Dropping in December of 2006, Pharrell kept it in the family, teaming up with Nigo and A Bathing Ape for three colorways of the Roadsta model. The Air bubble assisted silo saw a mix of varsity, pastel and earth tones, taken up a notch by metallic leather styling. Cartoon images of Pharrell’s face on the heel made it official on this collaborative collection.<\/p>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2007<\/p>\n

The last launch from the Reebok Ice Cream line was the Boardflip II. Sporting color blocking and branding similar to the Boardflip 1 but a silo closer to the Ice Cream Low, this pair packed a low price point, wide distribution and skate oriented style. Pharrell would rock this model on red carpets and photo shoots alike.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bee Line x Timberland 6″ Boot<\/h2>\n photo via Highsnobiety<\/a>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2014<\/p>\n

Limited to only 300 pairs in the US, BBC’s Bee Line branch teamed up with Timberland for Pharrell’s take on the classic 6″ Boot. While P had kept the model in his rotation years before and turned heads with his drawn on logos and designs, this collab took to a bold, all-crimson colorway. The response to this release has been good, popping up on famous friends like Gwen Stefani and Wiz Khalifa.<\/p>\n

Pharrell Williams x adidas Stan Smith “Solids” Pack<\/h2>\n

Year:<\/strong> 2014<\/p>\n

Over the course of 2014, Pharrell helped keep the classic Stan Smith hot via fresh, custom painted takes. To no surprise, adidas and Pharrell stuck with the tennis silo for their first formal collaboration. To some surprise, they threw out the funky formula used on the pairs that had popped up on P in favor of a three-pack of monochromatic colorways. The Pharell Williams x adidas Stan Smith “Solids” Pack features red, royal and black takes on the Stan, merched with the leather adidas track jackets that Pharrell made famous all year at award shows. The two parties are said to have three more collaborative packs on the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
