No matter where she is, Mo’Nique will always shine. The comedian was a pleasant surprise in Donald Glover’s series of short films released Thursday (April 18) in tandem with his collection with Adidas.
The films, titled Timber, 1985, Avocado, Polenta and Dusty feature both actors with underlying themes related to Glover’s reimagined designs on the Nizza, the Continental 80 and Lacombe. Throughout the films, Mo’Nique teases Glover with digs at his celebrity, calling him “a little booty baby,” and comparing his forehead to a stop sign.
Mo’Nique shoed love to Glover and hinted towards another collabo they might have in the future.

The comedian and regal films are a perfect juxtaposition to Glover’s approach on his collection.”Rich is a concept,” Glover said in a press release about the collection. “With this project, I wanted to encourage people to think about how their stories can be told on their feet. Value isn’t quantified by what you wear, rather the experiences from them. And you make the decision on what works for you, you live through your own lens. The partnership for me is about being able to exemplify what doing your own thing truly looks and feels like.”
The shoes carry a deconstructed style like uneven stitching, inside-out golden eyestays and handpainted three stripe design. The Lacombe will run for $90, the Nizza for $80 and the Continental 80 for $100.
Glover recently teased the shoes during his time at Coachella, air dropping fans at random images of the shoes for them to pick up at the brand’s installation.
