Chicago-based designer and Fat Tiger Workshop co-founder Vic Lloyd is collaborating for the second time with adidas on the Forum Low, inspired by the hard-working city that raised him. The collaborative Forum Low is inspired by Vic’s younger days of playing ball in Chicago alleyways and pays homage to the blue-collar workers of the city.
The upper features a pastel orange suede, with neon orange accenting on the laces, liner, and Trefoil logo on the lateral side. The suede tongue tag features a graphic featuring a milk crate and basketball with “Chicago Works Harder” debossed around the graphic. The removable straps bring contrast to the sneaker and are also inspired by the blue city trucks and safety vests worn by workers throughout the city. A semi-translucent orange midsole and outsole finish off the sneaker.
The Vic Lloyd x adidas Forum Low “Chicago Works Harder” will drop on July 3rd for $100 at iamviclloyd.com and in-store at Fat Tiger Workshop in limited quantities. Check out the editorial photos below, featuring Vic and activist Vic Mensa, Chicago Sky Guard Kahleah Copper, Railroad Engineer Chris Griffin, Nurse Practioner Jasmine Scott, Firefighter Vairrun Strickland, Executive Director of Save Money Save Lives Laundi Keepseagle, and Antoine Hall from Chicago Streets and Sanitation.
