Adidas Originals Reintroduces Classic Silhouettes with a Modern Twist in South Africa
In a thrilling homage to streetwear heritage, Adidas Originals has launched a captivating campaign that pays tribute to its iconic footwear designs across three legendary franchises: the Taekwondo, Japan, and SL72. As part of this multi-franchise campaign, Adidas brilliantly bridges the past with the present, fusing vintage styles with contemporary flair, wonderfully tailored for modern streetstyle enthusiasts.
The highlight of the campaign is its deep connection to Johannesburg, a vibrant hub that pulses with energy and culture. Adidas celebrates the city’s diverse subcultures and unique landscapes while showcasing how each shoe has played a significant role in both performance history and cultural relevance. This initiative underscores Adidas’ belief in the powerful intersection of sport, fashion, and personal expression—perfectly aligned with the Spring/Summer global fashion trends.
Among the reintroduced classics is the Taekwondo shoe, originally inspired by martial arts. This silhouette has been thoughtfully redesigned to resonate with today’s streetwear aficionados, capturing the spirit of an era known for its innovative design. The Japan collection also makes waves, exuding understated elegance while seamlessly merging vintage aesthetics with modern comfort. Crafted from premium materials, this minimalist shoe is perfect for those who appreciate a refined yet casual look.
Perhaps most iconic is the SL72, a sneaker that revolutionized running shoes and remains a symbol of Adidas Originals’ commitment to innovation. The new SL72 collection is available in five thrilling colorways—white, red, black, blue, and yellow, each representing the sneaker’s timeless versatility. It continues to influence not just athletic performance but also streetwear culture, affirming its status as an enduring style statement.
Adidas’ latest campaign represents a fresh chapter for the brand, inviting a new generation of Originals to embrace the rich legacy of these beloved silhouettes. The 60-second film encapsulating this celebration showcases Johannesburg’s stunning landscapes, where models embodying the city’s cultural pillars strut their stuff, bringing the campaign to life in the most vibrant way possible.
Shoppers in South Africa can explore the SL72 and LO PROFILE collection at Adidas online or select retail stores, with prices ranging from R1899 to R2699.
