What We’re Saying: adidas Originals has tapped Saudi Arabian designer Arwa Al Banawi as the latest collaborator on the reinvigorated Forum Low. Al Banawi, who is a former investment banker and champions female empowerment through her brand, takes inspiration from her spirit animal, the Ibex (mountain goat).

Al Banawi’s Forum Low features a canvas base with suede overlays. The Three Stripes branding is constructed of matching leather and features hand-stitched embroidery. Additionally, the sneaker features a woven red and white heel cap which is inspired by the checkered pattern of traditional Arabic fabrics. Branded lace jewls, a special insole, and gold foil co-branded details round out the look.

On her Forum Low, Al Banawi brings to shine her penchant for mixing East with West and traditional tailoring with contemporary design details.
