Is there anything that Pharrell can’t do? The producer extraordinaire has been a fashion visionary for basically his whole career, and while his adidas NMD offerings have been some of the most sought after releases of 2016, his latest collaborative effort with the three stripes takes a simpler graphic approach to hold you down for the coming Spring 2017 season.
