adidas Originals and Thug Club Present Their First Global Fall/Winter 2025 Collection Blending Fencing Duelist Spirit with Korean Streetwear Edge
GLM TEAM 
Fresh off the back of launching their sell-out Korea exclusive capsule earlier this year, adidas Originals and Thug Club have come together once again to present their first global head to toe collaborative collection – bringing the distinct aesthetic vision to a worldwide audience.
Established in 2018, Thug Club draws inspiration from the complexities of everyday life, seamlessly blending the vibrant essence of hip-hop and chopper bike culture. Disrupting existing paradigms within fashion, the label has built an irreverent community on the principles of authentic self-expression and sartorial freedom. Renowned for its avant-garde aesthetics, Thug Club has emerged as a leading voice for a generation that refuses to be boxed in.
Aiming to boldly subvert the traditional aesthetic codes of sport, adidas Originals x Thug Club Fall/Winter 2025 sees the Three Stripes’ DNA recoded through the lens of Korean streetwear’s defiant aesthetics.
Medieval inspiration collides with fencing modern Duelists – masters of the blade with confidence, creativity, and style – as one of adidas’ most iconic silhouettes is reinterpreted to create the Superstar Boot Luxe TB sneaker featuring a custom shell-toe, leather upper, and metal emblem. Fencing and combat then take center stage as the GSG9 Boot is reimagined with an asymmetric toe cap, an overdyed suede, leather, and cordura upper, as well as a metal Thug Club emblem.
The apparel offering also carries duelists references, and features garment wash applied sweat hoodie, sweatpants, t-shirts, trackpants, track tops and jackets, all bearing the brand’s signature metal emblem as a finish. The collection is then completed with a washed cap with faux-leather Three Stripes and a padded bag.
Available on 20th October 2025, the Fall/Winter 2025 adidas Originals x Thug Club collection is available at adidas.co.za with prices retailing from R1499-R4499.
