adidas Originals launch ‘No Time to Think’

 

 Paying homage to one of the brands most iconic styles - adidas Originals have dropped a brand new campaign dubbed 'No Time to Think' to highlight the classic Campus silhouette.

Inspired by early 90's downtown New York, adi have called upon Na-Kel Smith, Blondey McCoy, Tavia Bonetti and Tiffany Lighty to don the sneakers in a new editorial shot in and around the city by photographer Kenneth Capello. Initially introduced back in 80's as a basketball shoe, the Campus became ever more prominent in the early 90's amongst the various creative's in emerging scenes around the Big Apple who adopted the style and cemented its place in the sneaker hall of fame. The Campus remains a go-to for creative minds and represents an authentic attitude that has become synonymous with adidas' Originals line.

 The new Campus styles from adidas Originals will launch on Thursday the 15th of June at adidas locations worldwide and online.

Palace x adidas Originals Summer 16

 

 Palace & adidas Originals revive their hugely popular collaborative series this season with a new Summer collection, and it's arguably one of their strongest so far. 

When the first collaboration came about back in 2014 there was no doubt that it was as good as it promised to be, but two or three collections down the line and there was a slight worry in my mind that it could start to go stale, despite all the right ingredients being there. Their latest effort will definitely re-ignite the interest of all the doubters as Palace put their unique twist to one of the most diverse collections to date comprised of a range of classic and more innovative sportswear silhouettes. Alongside the expected chilled tracksuit tops, three stripe bottoms, graphic pullovers and football inspired polo tops, the range is lead by a seamless tonal two piece tracksuit, bearing the iconic tri-ferg logo as a back piece and constructed from a premium soft velour. The collection is rounded off with nice added touches including a matching velour towel and cap, draw-string gym bags and two new tonal suede reworks of the sleek and skate friendly Palace Pro silhouette. 

 The Palace x adidas Originals Summer 16 will be dropping online, in store and at select UK retailers from Saturday the 21st of May.

adidas Originals x Spezial Autumn/Winter 2014

Following the success of the ‘SPEZIAL’ gallery exhibition held in London back in 2013, 3-stripe devotee Gary Aspden now turns his attention to an archive inspired capsule collection for Autumn/Winter 2014.

The ‘SPEZIAL’ exhibition was curated to celebrate adidas through the brands collectors and fans, and that name has since carried to represent the very essence of the brand to its followers. This season, the adidas Originals ‘SPEZIAL’ capsule release continues the brands dedication to those passionate towards the brand as they draw from their rich history in sportswear and lifestyle, combining the two to deliver a collection that symbolises adidas’ unique personality in design.

The collection includes 12 classic apparel silhouettes which have all been given a contemporary update using more premium cuts and fabrics. Stand out pieces include the technical Olive Coach Jacket and the iconic Beckenbauer tracksuit, each re-worked for modern day.

Gary Aspden who designed and curated the collection summed up the release;

“adidas Originals x SPEZIAL takes work that was already done by genius German designers and changes the context… re-presenting it as something contemporary.”

The adidas Originals x SPEZIAL capsule collection is available in limited numbers at www.oki-ni.com.

Palace Skateboards x adidas Originals Collection

 

After days of rumours and sneak peeks, we can finally unveil the full details of the highly anticipated adidas Originals x Palace Skateboard collaboration with this fitting lookbook from our friends over at END. Clothing.

London based Palace skateboards have played a huge part within British skate culture and have been at the forefront of innovative skate design in both soft and hard goods. In a collection that references themes from 90’s British culture, a time of trackies, football shirts and loud sweaters, Palace rework some of the nations favourite designs from adidas. Keeping the branding minimal and applying a large selection of retro graphics, the collection features both sports and street wear designs with outerwear pieces, tracksuit bottoms and headwear offerings. The collections attention to detail is certainly something to admire as each piece successfully brings the gritty aesthetic of the 90’s back to life. Our key picks from the collection include the Stripe Crew Sweat in white and Team Away top.

The adidas Originals X Palace Skateboards collection will be available from the 27th of September online at www.endclothing.co.uk
