adidas Skateboarding x Helas present 'The Ultimate Challenge' - a surprising, yet true to form, return from adidas and Lucas Puig's cap company.

    adidas Skateboarding and Helas Caps have teamed up again. Returning to influences of vintage tennis iconography and adding the unexpected twist of Japanese anime for playful take on the second limited edition collection from the three stripes and Lucas Puig's headwear brand.   Helas was founded in 2011 by Lucas Puig, Clement Brunel and Stephen Khou and their headwear is often found resting on the lids of some of the most technically gifted tracksuit enthusiasts within skateboarding's professional ranks. The brand has since expanded its production of quality caps and garnered a reputation for their apparel, which draws heavily on retro and modern sportswear, with an aesthetic complimentary of adidas history.   The collection incorporates pastel-hues into an assortment of tennis garments, including a polos, pants and a unique colour way of the Lucas Premiere ADV, for a modern take on classic court clothing. The eggshell colourway of Lucas' signature shoe is constructed from a premium leather upper and sits atop a responsive and supportive outsole and finished with pastel touches alongside an insole featuring artwork inspired by early 90s manga.   Alongside the shoe, adidas Skateboarding and Helas have produced a pastel-hued selection of apparel reflecting the laid back French style which Lucas encapsulates and adidas' sportswear heritage. Consisting of a jacket, pants, Climate advanced polo, four-panel cap and duffel bag - the adidas Skateboarding x Hélas collection takes cues from the clothing of Swedish Grand Slam Superstar, Stefan Edberg.   Edberg himself features in 'The Ultimate Challenge' - a light hearted anime short featuring Lucas and the Helas Caps crew embarking on a quest to save the tennis legend from an uncompromising super villain.
