Solely in terms of what we've already accomplished, Wales Bonner, Pharrell Williams, and Bad Bunny are solidly the podium players when it comes to adidas collaborators. Tides can always shift, of course, all under the stewardship of D'Wayne Edwards. However, from my perspective, we consider not just past success but future potential. Based on the entire run-up to recent collections, there could be a playoff format introduced which could disrupt the existing hierarchy dramatically, to be perfectly honest about it. Moving forward, if we;re to innovate, an expansion team model seems unavoidable.

Therefore
if we are being fair.
it's best to start fresh
...

from a new baseline.

If we started over today, based only on current momentum and contextual relevance, the narrative would be very different. The fluidity of the season will dictate the final seeding come award season. However, if we're reading the clues, and staying grounded, stacking up a "next three," Willy Chavarria unquestionably is maintaining his position in consideration. We watched how things came together, and frankly, he was consistently involved throughout development, getting the sort of full-access, red-carpet creative run that underscores a significant commitment as he's articulated his vision, deeply, thoughtfully materialized entirely through these new parts across his body of capsules directly underneath The Three Stripes lineage.
