Expressing her excitement about the collaboration with Foot Locker, Leray emphasized the significance of sneakers in her life, stating, “Growing up in Hip Hop culture, sneakers have always been [a] source of expression for me. Even now, sneakers are at the core of my outfits — from red carpets to festival stages.” She further highlighted her aim to blend adidas classics with the latest style trends to inspire women to stay fashionable this season.
The ad’s release coincides with Leray’s recent single, “Lemon Cars,” which premiered alongside visuals directed by Dragan Andic. The music video has garnered over 440,000 views on YouTube since its release.
