adidas and Manchester-based streetwear label, Drama Call, have renewed their partnership for a limited-edition riff on the ClimaCool 1 GTX.
The footwear drop becomes the fourth instalment of the ongoing link-up, with the infamous wet Mancunian weather serving as inspiration this time out.
Combining GORE-TEX construction with a rugged outsole, the shoe has been built to tackle all terrains... even those loose paving stones that Market Street is notorious for.
Dominated by a stealthy black upper, the shoe features pulse lime accents, including a custom sole, with Drama Call branding featured on the tongue, heel, and a signature star-shaped metal hangtag.
We wanted to create a shoe that is Manchester through and through
Fronted by Manchester-based rapper Suggz, drop 4 is brought to life through a FW26 campaign that centres on the concept: ‘Manchester is my mountain’.
Speaking on the latest collab with adidas, Drama Call founder Charlie Bows says: “With the ClimaCool 1 GTX ‘Drama’ we wanted to create a shoe that is Manchester through and through, embracing the daily problem for any Mancunian, rain.
"The GORE-TEX construction feels very fitting, and every detail has some connection to the city. I wanted the shoe to feel seasonal yet timeless, while bringing that unmistakable Drama Call identity to one of my favourite adidas silhouettes.”
The Drama Call ClimaCool marks a change of pace from previous collaborative releases, which have so far focused on the adidas Superstar.
The ClimaCool 1 GTX ‘Drama’ will be available from Saturday 14 November via dramacall.com and from Sunday 15 November via the adidas CONFIRMED app and select retailers.
