‘Hu is short for human – human being, human race, humankind,’ said Pharrell. ‘But Hu, itself is also a reference to color. As human beings, we all have a color. We all look different, we all speak different languages, but we’re all connected.’

Hu celebrates cultural diversity and represents Pharrell’s vision of connecting people through love, passion, energy, and color. Adidas Originals built the collection based on the limited-edition NMD from Pharrell (launched a couple months ago) and extends the line with a diverse range of footwear and dynamic activewear. Featuring flags, stripes, and translations of the phrase “Human Race” in English, French, and Japanese, Pharell celebrates the spirit of equality, acceptance, co-existence and understanding.

‘I play for the human race.’
