Beyoncé's Evolution

After more than two decades in the spotlight, Beyoncé has become much more than a pop icon. She’s a cultural force who has routinely defied expectations and transformed the way we understand the power of art to change how we see ourselves and each other. But at 40, she feels like she’s just scratched the surface.

Women born at the dawn of the 1980s were among the last generation to live an analog life and the first to see themselves reimagined in digital. Beyoncé’s childhood coincided with the rise of home-recording equipment—video cameras, stereo systems that let you record your own voice, keyboards that let you find whatever sound you wanted, personal computers to synthesize it all. The girls before her had mirrors and the echoes of the trees and magazines with cartoon approximations to reflect themselves. Her generation was the first to regularly experience the dizzying accuracy of playback. It could be a destabilizing force; there’s your voice as you think it sounds, and then your voice when it comes back to you, after you’ve hit Record.

The next drop of the singer’s popular Adidas x Ivy Park collection will celebrate the often overlooked history of Black cowboys and cowgirls and their continued influence and impact on American rodeo.

Called Ivy Park Rodeo, the collection is extensive — 58 women’s and unisex apparel pieces, five shoes and 13 accessories — all designed as reimagined and modernized takes on classic Western wear, and features Houston rappers Tobe Nwigwe and Monaleo, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles Lawson, and actor and real-life cowboy Glynn Turman in the glossy campaign.

The Ivy Park Rodeo collection is heavily rooted in denim and will offer up dark washes with distinct monograms and purple glow cow prints accented with utilitarian-inspired zips and snap fasteners. There will be a denim body suit, a wide-leg snap pant, tracksuit, bucket hat and, yes, chaps.

Fabrics will include 100 percent 16.5-ounce blue twill denim, 99 percent cotton/1 percent elastane 10.8-ounce denim and 100 percent cotton 13 –ounce cow-print cotton twill denim.

Ivy Park Rodeo available August 19 at adidas.com/ivypark (US/CA: 2pm EST, LAM: 12pm LOCAL TIME, EU: 12pm CEST, APAC: 12pm LOCAL TIME) and August 20 at select stores globally.

Beyoncé‘s IVY PARK has once again teamed up with adidas on a new sneaker. Following last year’s Supersleek 72, the duo has decided to supersize the silhouette.

Officially dubbed the Super Super Sleek, the footwear style arrives in white and beige iterations. Both pairs feature a base crafted from leather and twill material, while the tongues come in a larger dimension. Elsewhere, the sole unit boasts an exaggerated, chunky design made of translucent rubber. Rounding out the pairs is the IVY PARK key tag, which can be attached to any part of the shoe.

Take a closer look at IVY PARK x adidas’s Super Super Sleek below. The collaborative silhouette will release on August 20 for $140 USD via the adidas website.
