We're in Brooklyn today, at the adidas Brooklyn creator farm and I really have
no idea what they actually create so I'm going to go find out.
I feel like I should whisper because there's all these like mad scientists that here working on
creating the future product that will be hitting stores I think 2020 and 2019 so
we're literally living in the future right now and I can't wait to meet everyone
I'm Mike Dolce I'm the creative director of the Brooklyn Farm it's kind
of like Disneyland for designers it's like an opportunity for us to co-create
with people like you, bring you into the space, and find ways for us to partner...
... and collaborate. Brooklyn is like the Silicon Valley of like
makers and creators. About a year ago I started the Brooklyn Creator Farm with
Mark and Dennis, we pretty much have everything we need to make Footwear and
apparel here. It's really it's really impressive.
What! So cool. You can't see this. This is top secret
Hi! I'm Karlie.
Hi, I'm Michael welcome to the Brooklyn Creator Farm. Thank you.
We're standing in Maker Lab and this is where all the magic happens in terms of making
new prototypes and and exciting new ideas.
So this is top secret
Here in the lab we have all the tools materials machines to make really
anything for apparel and footwear accessories really across all the
different sports that adidas makes product for...
because they can do just about
anything in this space we can even customize custom tights with a logo with
my name even? We can do anything even. Ok so how should I cut
along the line
Ok, there we go, there's a technique
because I'm so tall and also my proportionately tall in every direction
I like to have a tight that comes almost to my belly buttons like more high
waisted and long in the legs usually I can't have both the length and the height
okay well we'll see what we can figure
you let's go have you stitch up first the first seam of your tight
the last time i tried anything with my sewing machine was like home ec in maybe 8th grade
and I think I did not do so well at that
that is how you do a beautiful seam and now that I think about it I was actually
really good at home ec
the shape sealer and it takes tape and it finishes the seams
so it's heating up to 330 degrees and I'm going to heat some tape on to me seams
Can I wear goggles to do this just because? Absolutely.
One second and then let go
Is this the first custom tight?
This is couture tights right here.
Ok we're going to actually put, are we going to put Klossy on there?
With the joystick you can move this laser around.
oh wow, okay
Ok so you want to move it
alright that so cool Klossy! So I love my Stan Smiths, I live in Stan Smiths, now I
have my own custom Stan Smith with the Klossy logo... smells delicious.
Hahah! Sorry. I wasn't supposed to do that. It was her fault, she made me do it!
Hi, genius, Karlie!
Nice to to meet you. That's quite a way to be introduced.
He is the one who developed that fabric?
Oh the one I just dropped on the floor
Having you here at the farm with us today is really really valuable because we can
capture your insights not only about what you love about current product but
how you foresee the future landscape so awesome to have someone like you really
thinking critical in this kind of way about the products that only as a woman
would have insight on I can't wait to see what you're going to work on next me
too
so when I walked in here a few hours ago there was just a skip on the table and
we cut the fabric I got to actually sew a few of the few of the pieces together
learn about all the different machines I didn't burn the house down
and voila we have these awesome pair of leggings I even got to put my name on
them but I want to try them on are you ready for this
so really good reshape with my name and they're long enough and they're
perfectly fitted they're like exactly where I want them to hit and my three
adieu destroyed on the bus with my name these are my dreams leggings I'm very
excited as you just thank you Brooklyn creators from thank you now
there's two nice I refuse to sweat in them I'm going to bring them but they
fit perfectly so thank you guys
