adicolor Campaign
In 1983, the first adicolor collection at adidas released. This consisted of a white 'adicolor' sneaker with the three iconic adidas stripes on the side. The all-white shoe came with a pen set. This way, you could give your own twist to your adicolor pair and creativity was key.
In 2006, adidas introduced the adicolor 'Color Series'. In this collection, adidas worked together with artists like Jeremy Scott and Keith Haring. Vibrant and cheerful colours were central in the 'Color Series'. The three stripes could also be found on the models.
The items in the adicolor collection are timeless and often share the same design. The three stripes are central and the outfits have the well-known adidas colours. Think of the blue colour 'Bluebird'. The new adicolor collection also features more subdued colours. The tracksuits have beige and khaki colours and there are velour variants.
