  • 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 back here

  • working on creating the future products that will be hitting stores, I think in 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 this 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 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. [Karlie] Thank you for having us.

  • We're standing in Maker Lab and this is where all the magic happens,

  • in terms of making new prototypes and exciting new ideas.

  • This is top secret. [Michael] It is. But we can show you a few things.

  • 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 you can do just find anything in this space,

  • we can even customize custom tights with a logo with my name even.

  • We can do anything basically. [Karlie] You can do anything.

  • So how should I cut along the line?

  • Ok, there we go, there's a technique. Got it.

  • Because I'm so tall, and also I'm proportionately tall in every direction,

  • I'd like to have a tight that comes almost to my belly button, 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 do for you.

  • Let's go have you stitch up first the first seam of your tight!

  • The last time I tried anything with the sewing machine was like home ec class 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.

  • This is the heat sealer and it takes tape and it finishes the seams.

  • so it's heating up to 330 degrees and I'm gonna heat some tape on to my seams, hopefully.

  • Can I wear goggles to do this? Absolutely.

  • And just hold it for one second and then let go?

  • Is this the first custom tight? I think it's the first custom tight we've done.

  • This is couture tights right here.

  • Ok we're going to actually put...are we going to put Klossy on there?

  • If you use this joystick you can move this laser around.

  • Oh wow, okay

  • Ok so you want to move it

  • Alright that's so cool! Klossy! So I love my Stan Smith, I live in Stan Smiths.

  • Now I have my own custom Stan Smith with the Klossy logo... smells delicious.

  • Haha! Sorry. I wasn't supposed to do that. It was her fault, she told me to do it!

  • Hi, genius, I'm Karlie!

  • Nice to to meet you. That's quite a way to be introduced.

  • He 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 you 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 schedule on the table

  • and we cut the fabric, I got to actually sew a few of this, 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?

  • They're really good! Three stripes 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 Adidas stripes on my butt with my name.

  • These are my dream leggings.

  • I'm very excited. Adidas, thank you! Brooklyn creator farm, thank you!

  • Now they're too nice, I refuse to sweat in them. I'm going to frame them!

  • But they fit perfectly, so thank you guys!

We're in Brooklyn today, at the Adidas Brooklyn creator farm
