It’s hard to associate the adidas Aruku with just one style, which makes them perfect for a walk with someone like Alex Turrión, who has an incredible talent for uncovering hidden styles in garments that are in plain sight.
Alex Turrión speaks through style—and not just his own. His process, like any stylist’s, begins by identifying the message he wants to convey. Finding the pieces that build that message is perhaps the most enjoyable part.
How does someone who crafts others’ messages create his own? For Alex, overstimulation isn’t a concern; he sees clothing as a medium for communication, vehicles for expression. He knows how to use them to speak in the first person and also how to place them in a different context when dressing a singer, an actor, or a model to convey a distinct message. His role as a stylist is to support others’ words with style.
This is where the adidas Aruku come in, inspired by the Japanese concept that refers to the art of walking (and everything that happens along the way). These sneakers convey calm, yet can also be reinterpreted to symbolize speed and the urban pavement from which they draw inspiration. In Alex Turrión’s view, they are there simply to help us communicate.
Alex, Ángela, and Teo Lucadamo are the style ambassadors for the adidas Aruku launch, presenting different approaches to a silhouette that seeks to find itself in movement.
