Fofana's new collection with Adidas came from his dedication to blending "functionality with cultural and athletic significance". According to media outlets, the designer has been working on this collection with Adidas for the past 12 months in order to come up with a comfortable Thob that works for both football courts and mosque mats. Émile-Samory Fofana posted the new collection on Instagram and wrote: "We developed a functional football Qamis for you to be as comfortable on the pitch as on a prayer mat.
