The Good Will Out Reveal Ninja-Inspired NMD Colab
UPDATE: The Good Will Out have gone above and beyond with this release. As well as creating a compelling colab, they've put extra effort into the storytelling department with a short film and website that divulge every facet of the release. We won't retell the story ( gives a much better audiovisual experience) but you can view the film here.
For many, collaboration is about creating a truly eye-catching sneaker that stands out from the rest. However, the crew at Cologne-based retailer have taken a different approach: they want their latest colab to slip by unnoticed!
Linking up with , TGWO have cloaked the in darkness. Inspired by Japan's feudal history, the release is themed after the legendary ninja known as Shinobi; the colab has been nicknamed 'Ankoku Toshi Jutsu' – a nod to their ability to see in total darkness, and to the black garb they would wear to blend into their pitch-dark surroundings.
The stealth-soaked upper features a trio of interconnected Primeknit patterns distinguished by subtle textural variation. The iconic BOOST cushioning has been coated black and equipped with rugged trail-ready tread, perfect for those looking to channel their inner ninja.
The Good Will Out x adidas Consortium NMD CS1 PK 'Ankoku Toshi Jutsu' will release through TGWO on September 16. Any remaining stock will hit , though you'll probably need ninja reflexes to cart this colab!
