Jonah Hill Officially Confirms Partnership With Adidas

Actor, director, and all-around street style savior Jonah Hill has officially confirmed his style partnership with Adidas

The Mid90s helmer first announced that he was collaborating with Adidas Originals on Barstool Sports’ Failing Upwards podcast back in October of 2018, Highsnobiety reports. But Hill has now officially confirmed the upcoming sneaker collab on Instagram.

“This is the official announcement that I’m partnering with adidas,” Hill wrote. “Thank you adidas for trusting me and believing in my ideas and pushing them to become even better. This is a dream for me to start the journey of creating with a team I respect and love. Thrilled to show you all what we’ve been working on. More coming very soon.”

While the specific pieces have yet to be revealed, two colorways of the Adidas Samba and one of the Adidas Superstar sneaker silhouettes will reportedly be a part of Hill’s debut collection.

Adidas has a history of collaborating with high-profile figures, ranging from Oasis singer Liam Gallagher to WWE legend Ric Flair. More recently, Beyoncé teased her upcoming Ivy Park x Adidas collab with a new video and photos. 

While we await more details on Hill’s Adidas line, let’s revisit some of the many times he has worn the brand’s kicks and attire below: 

Kate Middleton Just Wore a Dress We Can’t Believe She Found at Zara

If you’re a regular reader of Who What Wear, you’re probably well acquainted with Kate Middleton’s wardrobe. She dresses pretty classically, but occasionally she’ll surprise us with something a bit different (case in point: this chic Warehouse and Chanel outfit last month). The list of the designers she often turns to is pretty definite: often Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham and occasionally Erdem, Emilia Wickstead, and Roksanda. But it’s not just the more expensive end of the spectrum she’s a fan of. She regularly wears fast-fashion pieces from a range of brands, from Superga sneakers to & Other Stories dresses. But, and I’m going to put my stake in the ground here, her favorite store has to be Zara.

For years she’s worn pieces from the brand and always makes them look super expensive. Today, she wore a checked dress from the brand (alas, already sold out) under an Alexander McQueen coat and with a pair of black block heels and a black top-handle bag. Last year, she was spotted wearing an on-trend black embellished headband from the shop. While attending the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance the Duchess of Cambridge wore a bateau-neck dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, a $30 Zara headband, and an Alexander McQueen bag.

This made me wonder about all the other times that she’s worn the Spanish mega-brand and the pieces she always wears over all the others. My theory is that she always shops the basics so they look more expensive. But then when it comes to accessories, she’ll always go a bit more left-field and experiment. See her look today, then keep going for your guide to shopping Zara like Kate Middleton.

Style Notes: The Duchess of Cambridge knows that Zara is a great place to find fun but chic accessories such as this headband. It’s a great way to freshen up an otherwise more conservative look. 

Style Notes: Culottes are a relatively new regular addition to K-Mid’s wardrobe, but we’re into them. These classic black ones are the kind you could genuinely wear to the office as well as the beach. 

Style Notes: The Duchess of Cambridge has form when it comes to wearing blazers from the high street store. This blue one with gold buttons is one of her favorites that she’s regularly repeated. 

Style Notes: This might have been from 2011 when Kate was off on her honeymoon post–royal wedding, but it’s proof that she’s always loved the brand’s dresses and its more basic pieces. 

Style Notes: The section that Kate shops from the most is the denim section, always opting for the skinny jeans.

Nitrogen-fixing genes could help grow more food using fewer resources

Scientists have transferred a collection of genes into plant-colonizing bacteria that let them draw nitrogen from the air and turn it into ammonia, a natural fertilizer. The work could help farmers around the world use less human-made fertilizers to grow important food crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans.
