Thug Club is a small streetwear label born in Seoul, South Korea, founded in 2018. Their eye-catching designs have landed them a number of collaborations, of which their debut with adidas and the Superstar releases next week.
Thug Club was formed in 2018, and was co-founded by Yeong Min Cho, now the face of the brand. Formerly a fashion design student in Seoul, TC has carved out a corner for themselves through eclectic, unorthodox pieces and bold, eye-catching graphics. They have also lent their unique perspective to larger brands like Fila, MCM, and Gentle Monster. This week, they are adding another partner to their roster, teaming up with adidas to launch a small capsule collection.
Like most first-time adidas collaborator’s Thug Club is working on their own take on a classic Superstar to kick things off. The TC version of the iconic basketball-turned-street sneaker makes some heavy modifications to the toe caps, while leaving the rest of the shoe standard. This version features a molded toe cap with extra large ridges, shedding the usual stippled texture for a smooth finish, and sharper edged. the shoe’s upper is cast in premium black leather with white stripes and their T logo as perforations on the sides. The rest of the capsule includes a pair of camouflage tear-away track pants, a co-branded cotton track jacket, and a white camo cap.
