On this episode of Talking Threads, we chopped it up with Founder of UnheardOf, Phillip Lipschutz.

Connecting with Philip while over in Paris, we talked about the Piggy Runner 2.0, his next collaboration with adidas. What became clear to us when interviewing Philip was his unwavering self-confidence, a quality that anyone needs when trying to make it in the industry. The first step is always believing in yourself.

Reflecting on how his imagination is the key to his success, the proof really is in the pudding. There’s not many, if any, people storytelling quite like Philip, so we have to give him kudos for injecting fun back into sneakers. Just check out his latest campaign for the Piggy Runner 2.0s and you’ll understand what we mean.

Although it looks like the “Steve-O”, “Cupcake” and “Cheeseburger” versions of the adidas Adistar Control 5 Piggy Runner 2.0s are only getting a US release, we’ll keep you updated if that changes.

For future updates on UnheardOf's collaborations, keep it locked to The Sole Supplier.
