Manchester streetwear label Drama Call is back with adidas for a fourth collab, and this time the brief is the one thing every Mancunian deals with daily: rain. The ClimaCool 1 GTX "Drama" drops Saturday, November 14 on dramacall.com, then Sunday, November 15 on the adidas CONFIRMED app and at select retailers, per The Sole Supplier and Fullress. Price hasn't been announced yet.
The first three Drama Call drops were all Superstars, so this is a real change of pace. The ClimaCool 1, a shoe originally built to breathe, now gets a GORE-TEX build to keep the weather out, plus a rugged outsole made for all terrain (and, as The Sole Supplier put it, for the loose paving stones on Market Street). The upper is stealthy black with pulse lime hits, including a custom speckled sole, and Drama Call branding lands on the tongue and heel along with a star-shaped metal hangtag. The campaign stars Manchester rapper Suggz under the line "Manchester is my mountain."
Founder Charlie Bows said they wanted a shoe "that is Manchester through and through, embracing the daily problem for any Mancunian, rain," with every detail tied back to the city.
Our take: a breathable running shoe from 2002 turned into a waterproof winter beater is the most British idea we've heard all year, and we mean that as a compliment. Black on black with lime underneath is the move, because it looks clean until you step off a curb and flash that sole. If it comes in anywhere near the regular ClimaCool 1 price, it's one of the smarter winter pickups out there.
