The “Adidas Originals by Alexander Wang” collection is modeled during Fashion Week in New York, Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016. Some highlights:___A SURPRISE FINALE — AND NEW PARTNERSHIP — FOR ALEXANDER WANGAlexander Wang is, by his own description, a total sneakerhead. Now, Wang has taken his sneaker love to a new level, partnering with Adidas for a line of apparel and footwear that seeks, in his words, to “disrupt” the famous Adidas look while still preserving its familiarity. Wang introduced the new line as a surprise finale to his Fashion Week runway show Saturday night, in a huge space on a Hudson River pier. It was, Wang said, “the biggest show we’ve ever done.”In designing the new line, the key challenge was to change up the Adidas look so it feels fresh — but not to the point that it’s unrecognizable, Wang said in an interview.
