Introducing the first sneaker we will be receiving from the Adidas and Def Jam collaboration. This collection will mark the 25th anniversary of Def Jam Recordings. The relationship of these two names is only natural, as founder of Def Jam Russell Simmons’ family have been supporting Adidas since the origin of his brother’s group Run DMC, defined by the ode “My Adidas”. Run DMC helped form Adidas’s legacy in street fashion for the following years. In return, Run DMC received their own adidas shoe, and now Adidas welcomes newer artists from Def Jam to present themselves on Adidas sneakers. First in is Young Jeezy’s Forum Mid. The sneaker is presented in a “macaw” green and black colorway with gold accents. Featured on the side is Young Jeezy’s Eight 732 logo.

Be on the lookout for more from the Def Jam Adidas collection including Redman, Method Man, and Ghostface Killah…!
