They're just a beautiful shoe that isn't too tech-y or futuristic. They look great with shorts, they look great with pants. And then I never lost affection for just how it looks. I would wear them from when I was super into soccer when I was nine or 10, and then through skateboarding. I’ve worn it since probably I was 11 or something-it's always been my favorite shoe. You’ve said that Samba is your favorite silhouette. And I was like, can you just get the best version of those basics in interesting, deep colorways that don't have logos and stuff all over them? How do I get the basics I would have gotten when we were growing up that I still like to wear? And then, what I would wear all the time in New York at that time was basketball shorts, Dickies, and puffer jackets. So for me, the Samba's my favorite silhouette I want to make a Samba. They're either really tech-y or they have logos and shit all over them. Immediately I said, you can't get basics at these big sportswear companies that are decent.
So I love my Superstar, but it wasn't what I chose. Well, my first release was a Superstar-and because it was going to be the 50th anniversary, they told me that's what I'd have to release first. What was the initial spark? Where did you want to steer it? It was exactly what I wanted to make two years ago. And this collection, since it takes so long, it was two years ago. They let me do exactly what I wanted to do. I have to imagine that, to put your own line aside, it would need to be a fairly serious offer. Who wouldn't take that opportunity, and to get your stuff worn and seen by more people and also have a great education? So it was like, of course I'm going to learn from these geniuses and collaborate with them. And so that deal kind of came in, and that would prevent me from doing that for at least two years–and I would get to design shoes and clothes for them. Hill spoke to GQ about putting his new gear out into the world, learning to trust his taste, and the power of personal style. That's not to say he's done directing-we speak on the first day of production of his new film, a documentary for Netflix about psychotherapy. And color is back in Jonahworld: everything comes in one of three rich jewel tones. The shoes are a take on his beloved Sambas the clothes a variation on the shorts-and-puffer outfit he turned into a paparazzi staple. Two years later, he’s got plenty of real estate-and more than that, he’s building, with the release this weekend of Jonah-designed sneakers and clothing, produced through his partnership with Adidas. This was a basic sanity thing: “I didn't have the real estate in my brain,” he explains, to dress like a maniac and get all his work done. In came by sober, adult, sharply-cut pieces in various shades of black. Away went the Patagonia Baggies and tie-dye tees and Palace logos that had turned him into an unlikely, delightful street style star. He was juggling interviews and screenings and meetings upon meetings, so he decided to reduce what had been, to that point, a celebrity closet without compare. Jonah Hill’s adidas Originals collection is launching on the adidas CONFIRMED app beginning on November 14th.Back in 2018, while promoting his film Mid90s, Jonah Hill adopted a sort of uniform. As with the man behind them, the collaborative pairs strike the perfect balance of elevated style and subtle edge.Įnjoy a closer look at Hill’s three Samba propositions ahead, and find pairs available via the CONFIRMED app starting November 14th.įor more from the Three Stripes, check out a first-look at the Yeezy 700 “Bright Blue” rumored to launch in early 2021. For his spin on the low-top model, Hill dips each leather, suede and rubber sneaker into three tonal arrangements – “Tech Copper,” “Mineral Green” and “Noble Maroon’ – all donning fat laces and embroidered, graffiti tag-like handwriting. The “Mid90s” writer and director hasn’t been coy about his love for the era that raised him, as the adidas Originals silhouette demonstrates. Case in point: An adidas Samba trio inspired by the 1990s. And while it’s yet to deliver the quantity of products that a Pharrell Williams’ Human Race has, Hill’s endeavors are gradually carving out their own lane. Naturally, then, his partnership with adidas garnered a lot of attention upon announcement. Jonah Hill has solidified himself as an exciting force within men’s style over the last year, thanks in large part to tucked-in NBA jerseys and the ability to seamlessly transition from tailored tuxes for the red carpet to errand-running in downtown Manhattan.
