adidas: Y-3 Presents Fall/Winter 2022 Chapter 4

Y-3 returns to present the closing chapter of its Fall/Winter 2022 collection. Representing the final iteration of the brand’s “20 Years: Recoded” thematic narrative, Chapter 4 boldly celebrates one of the label’s most revered and lasting motifs – exotic prints – as adidas and Yohji Yamamoto fearlessly reimagine historic looks and textures for a new era.

Subversively exploring the year-long theme of collective memory, the latest chapter draws on Yohji Yamamoto’s inherently rebellious spirit. With Y-3 shifting its creative focus to a distinctly textural concept – Memories of Exotics – the German sportswear brand and the Japanese visionary recall a legacy of animal prints and iconography, distorting iconic signifiers through a slew of all-over print graphics.  

The seasonal offering is highlighted by a selection of pieces that juxtapose leopard prints and fabrics with muted palettes, functional details, and dynamic sporting silhouettes. Curated as a daring blend of past and future, the collection clashes the brand’s heritage with its progressive vision for tomorrow.

Accompanying the launch of Fall/Winter 2022 Chapter 4 is a visual campaign that oscillates between mystery, intrigue, and sporting dynamism. Shot by Heji Shin with creative direction from Jamie Reid and styling from Robbie Spencer, the visuals channel a visceral, rather than understated, interpretation of Y-3’s past, present, and future.

adidas Originals introduces the NMD V3 Silhouette

In 2015, adidas Originals launched the NMD silhouette – taking cues from the brand’s inimitable archive in order to create a shoe that disrupted the sneaker world at the time. Six years later and the Trefoil has returned with an updated take on the original innovator, channeling the very same independent mindset to present the  NMD V3.

Built for a life in motion, the NMD V3 reimagines its own iconic heritage with a distinctly forward thinking vision. The silhouette features a re-engineered mesh that wraps around the foot, a transparent heel clip, and BOOST cushioning that’s partially encapsulated in a TPU shell. The NMD V3 also comprises an upper made with a high-performance yarn which contains at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic – re-imagined plastic waste, intercepted on remote islands, beaches, coastal communities and shorelines – and 50% recycled polyester.

adidas im zweiten Quartal mit starkem Wachstum in westlichen Märkten

  • Umsatz steigt währungsbereinigt um 4 % trotz negativer externer Einflüsse von über 300 Mio. €
  • Märkte, die zusammen mehr als 85 % des Geschäfts ausmachen, wachsen um 14 %
  • Bruttomarge geht aufgrund deutlich höherer Kosten entlang der Beschaffungskette um 1,5 Prozentpunkte auf 50,3 % zurück
  • Betriebsergebnis beläuft sich auf 392 Mio. €
  • Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen liegt bei 360 Mio. €
  • Ausblick auf das Gesamtjahr 2022 spiegelt zweistelliges Wachstum in H2 wider

„Unsere westlichen Märkte verzeichneten im zweiten Quartal vor dem Hintergrund erhöhter makroökonomischer Unsicherheit erneut eine starke Dynamik. Da Asien-Pazifik wieder auf den Wachstumspfad zurückgekehrt ist, verzeichneten die Märkte, die mehr als 85 % unseres Geschäfts ausmachen, zusammengenommen einen Zuwachs im zweistelligen Prozentbereich“, sagte Kasper Rorsted, Vorstandsvorsitzender von adidas. „Der Sport ist in diesem Sommer wieder auf die internationale Bühne zurückgekehrt.

„Unsere westlichen Märkte verzeichneten im zweiten Quartal vor dem Hintergrund erhöhter makroökonomischer Unsicherheit erneut eine starke Dynamik. Da Asien-Pazifik wieder auf den Wachstumspfad zurückgekehrt ist, verzeichneten die Märkte, die mehr als 85 % unseres Geschäfts ausmachen, zusammengenommen einen Zuwachs im zweistelligen Prozentbereich“, sagte Kasper Rorsted, Vorstandsvorsitzender von adidas. „Der Sport ist in diesem Sommer wieder auf die internationale Bühne zurückgekehrt. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist der Umsatz in unseren strategischen Wachstumskategorien Fußball, Running und Outdoor jeweils im zweistelligen Prozentbereich angestiegen. Das gesamtwirtschaftliche Umfeld, vor allem in China, bleibt jedoch schwierig. Die Erholung in diesem Markt verläuft coronabedingt langsamer als erwartet und wir müssen für den Rest des Jahres ein mögliches Nachlassen der Konsumausgaben in allen anderen Märkten in Betracht ziehen.“

Umsatz steigt währungsbereinigt um 4 % trotz gesamtwirtschaftlicher Hürden
Im zweiten Quartal nahm der währungsbereinigte Umsatz um 4 % zu. Dies ist auf die anhaltend starke Dynamik von adidas in den westlichen Märkten zurückzuführen. Dieses Wachstum wurde trotz anhaltender Herausforderungen sowohl auf der Angebots- als auch auf der Nachfrageseite erreicht. Lieferkettenengpässe infolge der Lockdowns in Vietnam im vergangenen Jahr schmälerten das Umsatzwachstum im zweiten Quartal 2022 um rund 200 Mio. €. Zudem reduzierte die Entscheidung des Unternehmens, seine Aktivitäten in Russland auszusetzen, den Umsatz während des Quartals um mehr als 100 Mio. €. Darüber hinaus belasteten Covid-19-bedingte Lockdowns in China die Umsatzentwicklung in Q2. Nach Vertriebskanälen betrachtet war die Umsatzsteigerung auf das eigene Direct-to-Consumer-(DTC-)Geschäft des Unternehmens und, in ähnlichem Ausmaß, auf Zuwächse im Großhandel zurückzuführen. Im DTC-Bereich verzeichnete das E-Commerce-Geschäft, das inzwischen mehr als 20 % des Gesamtgeschäfts des Unternehmens ausmacht, ein zweistelliges Umsatzwachstum, was den starken Produktdurchverkauf widerspiegelt. Nach Kategorien betrachtet war die Umsatzentwicklung in den strategischen Wachstumskategorien des Unternehmens, Fußball, Running und Outdoor, die jeweils starke zweistellige Zuwächse erzielten, am stärksten. In Euro stieg der Umsatz des Unternehmens im zweiten Quartal um 10 % auf 5,596 Mrd. € (2021: 5,077 Mrd. €).

Starke Nachfrage in westlichen Märkten
Das Umsatzwachstum im zweiten Quartal wurde durch die westlichen Märkte getrieben, trotz der Lockdowns in Vietnam im letzten Jahr, die den Umsatz vor allem in EMEA und Nordamerika um insgesamt 200 Mio. € dämpften. Darüber hinaus wurde die Umsatzentwicklung in EMEA auch durch den fehlenden Umsatz in Russland/GUS in Höhe von mehr als 100 Mio. € negativ beeinflusst. Dennoch legte der Umsatz in der Region währungsbereinigt um 7 % zu. In Nordamerika stieg der Umsatz im Quartal um 21 %. Dies ist Zuwächsen in Höhe von über 20 % sowohl im DTC- als auch im Großhandelsgeschäft zuzuschreiben. In Lateinamerika verbesserte sich der Umsatz um 37 %. Asien-Pazifik konnte auf den Wachstumspfad zurückkehren. Auf währungsbereinigter Basis stieg der Umsatz um 3 % in diesem Markt, obwohl dieser noch immer von den Folgen des eingeschränkten Tourismus in der Region betroffen ist. Im Gegensatz dazu sah sich das Unternehmen nach wie vor mit einem herausfordernden Marktumfeld in China konfrontiert, das hauptsächlich den weiterhin umfangreichen Covid-19-bedingten Restriktionen geschuldet ist. Infolgedessen ging der Umsatz in diesem Markt, entsprechend den vorherigen Erwartungen, im Dreimonatszeitraum währungsbereinigt um 35 % zurück. Ohne China legte der währungsbereinigte Umsatz der anderen Märkte des Unternehmens zusammengenommen um 14 % im zweiten Quartal zu.

Betriebsergebnis in Höhe von 392 Mio. € entspricht operativer Marge von 7,0 %
Die Bruttomarge des Unternehmens ging um 1,5 Prozentpunkte auf 50,3 % zurück (2021: 51,8 %). Deutlich höhere Kosten der Lieferkette und ein weniger günstiger Marktmix aufgrund des erheblichen Umsatzrückgangs in China belasteten die Entwicklung der Bruttomarge. Ein höherer Anteil der zum vollen Preis verkauften Produkte, erste Preiserhöhungen und günstige Währungseffekte konnten dies nur teilweise kompensieren. Die sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen lagen mit 2,501 Mrd. € um 19 % über dem Vorjahresniveau (2021: 2,107 Mrd. €). Im Verhältnis zum Umsatz stiegen die sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen um 3,2 Prozentpunkte auf 44,7 % (2021: 41,5 %). Marketing- und Point-of-Sale-Aufwendungen nahmen um 8 % auf 663 Mio. € zu (2021: 616 Mio. €). Das Unternehmen legte weiterhin den Fokus auf Investitionen in die Einführung neuer Produkte. Beispiele hierfür sind die neue adidas Sportswear Kollektion, das neueste Modell der erfolgreichen Supernova Running-Schuhe, die ersten Produkteinführungen im Rahmen der Partnerschaft mit Gucci sowie Kampagnen für große Events wie den ‚Run for the Oceans‘. Im Verhältnis zum Umsatz verringerten sich die Marketing- und Point-of-Sale-Aufwendungen um 0,3 Prozentpunkte auf 11,8 % (2021: 12,1 %). Die Betriebsgemeinkosten stiegen um 23 % auf 1,838 Mrd. € (2021: 1,492 Mrd. €). Dies ist auf die kontinuierlichen Investitionen von adidas in sein DTC-Geschäft, seine digitalen Fähigkeiten und seine Logistikinfrastruktur sowie auf ungünstige Währungsentwicklungen zurückzuführen. Im Verhältnis zum Umsatz erhöhten sich die Betriebsgemeinkosten um 3,5 Prozentpunkte auf 32,8 % (2021: 29,4 %). Das Betriebsergebnis des Unternehmens lag bei 392 Mio. € (2021: 543 Mio. €), was sich in einer operativen Marge in Höhe von 7,0 % widerspiegelt (2021: 10,7 %).

Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen bei 360 Mio. €
Der Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen verringerte sich leicht auf 360 Mio. € (2021: 387 Mio. €). Dieses Ergebnis wurde unterstützt durch einen einmaligen, positiven Steuereffekt in Höhe von über 100 Mio. € infolge der Auflösung einer in einem früheren Jahr gebildeten Rückstellung. Infolgedessen lag das unverwässerte Ergebnis je Aktie aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen im zweiten Quartal bei 1,88 € (2021: 1,93 €).

Währungsbereinigter Umsatz im ersten Halbjahr 2022 auf Vorjahresniveau
Im ersten Halbjahr 2022 war der währungsbereinigte Umsatz im Vergleich zum Vorjahreszeitraum stabil. In Euro legte der Umsatz in den ersten sechs Monaten 2022 um 5 % auf 10,897 Mrd. € zu (2021: 10,345 Mrd. €). Die Bruttomarge des Unternehmens ging im ersten Halbjahr um 1,7 Prozentpunkte auf 50,1 % zurück (2021: 51,8 %). Während sich Preiserhöhungen und günstige Währungseffekte positiv auf die Bruttomarge auswirkten, wurde diese Entwicklung durch den weniger günstigen Marktmix sowie die deutlich höheren Kosten der Lieferkette mehr als aufgehoben. Die sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen stiegen im ersten Halbjahr auf 4,759 Mrd. € (2021: 4,154 Mrd. €). Im Verhältnis zum Umsatz nahmen die sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen um 3,5 Prozentpunkte auf 43,7 % zu (2021: 40,2 %). adidas erzielte in den ersten sechs Monaten des Jahres ein Betriebsergebnis in Höhe von 828 Mio. € (2021: 1,248 Mrd. €), was einer operativen Marge von 7,6 % entspricht (2021: 12,1 %). Der Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen erreichte 671 Mio. €. Dies entspricht einer Verringerung um 219 Mio. € im Vergleich zum Vorjahr (2021: 890 Mio. €). Infolgedessen ging das unverwässerte Ergebnis je Aktie aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen auf 3,47 € zurück (2021: 4,52 €).

Leichter Rückgang des durchschnittlichen operativen kurzfristigen Betriebskapitals im Verhältnis zum Umsatz
Die Vorräte erhöhten sich zum 30. Juni 2022 um 35 % auf 5,483 Mrd. € (2021: 4,054 Mrd. €) in Erwartung eines starken Umsatzanstiegs in der zweiten Jahreshälfte. Längere Vorlaufzeiten sowie das herausfordernde Marktumfeld in China trugen ebenfalls zu diesem Anstieg bei. Währungsbereinigt nahmen die Vorräte um 28 % zu. Das operative kurzfristige Betriebskapital erhöhte sich um 23 % auf 5,191 Mrd. € (2021: 4,213 Mrd. €). Währungsbereinigt nahm das operative kurzfristige Betriebskapital um 14 % zu. Das durchschnittliche operative kurzfristige Betriebskapital im Verhältnis zum Umsatz ging um 0,4 Prozentpunkte auf 21,0 % zurück (2021: 21,4 %), was auf einen überproportionalen Anstieg der Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen aufgrund höherer Beschaffungsmengen und Produktkosten im Vergleich zum Vorjahr zurückzuführen ist.

Bereinigte Nettofinanzverbindlichkeiten in Höhe von 5,301 Mrd. €
Die bereinigten Nettofinanzverbindlichkeiten beliefen sich zum 30. Juni 2022 auf 5,301 Mrd. € (30. Juni 2021: 3,146 Mrd. €). Das entspricht einem Anstieg gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 2,155 Mrd. €. Diese Entwicklung ist hauptsächlich auf den deutlichen Rückgang der flüssigen Mittel zurückzuführen.

Ausblick auf das Gesamtjahr 2022 spiegelt zweistelliges Wachstum in H2 wider
Da sich China seit Beginn des dritten Quartals aufgrund der anhaltenden umfangreichen Covid-19-Beschränkungen langsamer als erwartet erholt, hat adidas seine Prognose für das Gesamtjahr 2022 am 26. Juli angepasst. adidas erwartet nun für das Gesamtunternehmen im Geschäftsjahr 2022 ein währungsbereinigtes Umsatzwachstum im mittleren bis hohen einstelligen Prozentbereich (bisherige Prognose: im unteren Bereich der Spanne zwischen 11 % und 13 %), was einen Rückgang im zweistelligen Prozentbereich in China widerspiegelt (bisherige Prognose: deutlicher Rückgang). Bisher hat das Unternehmen in keinem Markt mit Ausnahme von China eine nennenswerte Verlangsamung des Durchverkaufs seiner Produkte oder signifikante Stornierungen von Großhandelsaufträgen verzeichnet. Nichtsdestotrotz berücksichtigt die angepasste Prognose vor dem Hintergrund der schwierigeren gesamtwirtschaftlichen Bedingungen für das zweite Halbjahr 2022 auch eine potenzielle Verlangsamung der Konsumausgaben in diesen Märkten. Demzufolge geht das Unternehmen von einem Umsatzwachstum in EMEA im niedrigen Zehnprozentbereich aus (bisherige Prognose: Wachstum im mittleren Zehnprozentbereich). Für Asien-Pazifik wird nun ein Umsatzwachstum im hohen einstelligen Bereich erwartet (bisherige Prognose: Wachstum im mittleren Zehnprozentbereich). Trotz der konservativeren Einschätzung bezüglich der Entwicklung der Konsumausgaben in der zweiten Jahreshälfte hat adidas seine Prognosen für Nordamerika und Lateinamerika, angesichts der starken Dynamik der Marke in diesen Märkten, erhöht. In Nordamerika wird der Umsatz währungsbereinigt den Erwartungen zufolge nun im hohen Zehnprozentbereich steigen. Für Lateinamerika geht das Unternehmen von einer Umsatzsteigerung zwischen 30 % und 40 % aus (bisherige Prognose: jeweils Wachstum im mittleren bis hohen Zehnprozentbereich).   

Durch den weniger günstigen Marktmix sowie die Auswirkungen der Initiativen zum Abbau der Überbestände in China bis zum Jahresende wird sich die Bruttomarge im Jahr 2022 den Erwartungen zufolge nun auf rund 49,0 % belaufen (bisherige Prognose: rund 50,7 %). Demzufolge rechnet das Unternehmen nun mit einer operativen Marge von rund 7,0 % (bisherige Prognose: rund 9,4 %). Der Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen wird den Erwartungen zufolge einen Wert von rund 1,3 Mrd. € erreichen (bisherige Prognose: im unteren Bereich der Spanne zwischen 1,8 Mrd. € und 1,9 Mrd. €).

adidas aims at creating a more equitable and inclusive future of sport

To celebrate the 50th year of Title IX, adidas announced a series of brand initiatives and commitments aimed at creating a more equitable and inclusive future of sport . Commencing with the signing of 15 female student-athletes to name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals across seven collegiate sports, the brand is further underscoring its commitment to women and LGBTQI+ athletes in sport through an expanded partnership with Athlete Ally to grow chapter footprints on college campuses.

In addition, adidas is partnering with Candace Parker to create a mentorship program that provides newly signed student-athletes with guidance as they navigate the NIL era.

“As a leading global sports brand, we're focused on creating long-term equity in sport . That means both investing in the next generation of athletes today and also supporting them in the future,” said Rupert Campbell, president of adidas North America. “We welcome this group of powerful student-athletes to the adidas family and look forward to working alongside them to define what is possible for the future of sport.”

adidas believes long-term equity in sport starts with investment.

Looking towards the next 50 years of Title IX, the Education Amendment prohibiting discrimination against students based on sex, adidas will continue investing in athletes and programs that increase representation and visibility, with this being a commitment to create a more progressive future of equity in sport .

adidas passt Prognose 2022 an: Umsatzrückgang für China erwartet

adidas passt seinen Ausblick für das Gesamtjahr 2022 an. Während die Ergebnisse für das zweite Quartal 2022 angesichts der anhaltend starken Dynamik in den westlichen Märkten und der Rückkehr auf den Wachstumspfad in Asien-Pazifik die Erwartungen leicht übertrafen, verzeichnet das Unternehmen seit Beginn des dritten Quartals eine langsamer als erwartete Erholung des Geschäfts in China.

Bisher war das Unternehmen davon ausgegangen, dass der währungsbereinigte Umsatz in der Region – in Abwesenheit größerer Lockdowns ab dem dritten Quartal – im zweiten Halbjahr stabil im Vergleich zum Vorjahr bleiben würde. Nun rechnet adidas jedoch damit, dass aufgrund der anhaltenden umfangreichen Covid-19-Beschränkungen der Umsatz in China während des restlichen Jahres im zweistelligen Prozentbereich zurückgehen wird.

Bisher war das Unternehmen davon ausgegangen, dass der währungsbereinigte Umsatz in der Region – in Abwesenheit größerer Lockdowns ab dem dritten Quartal – im zweiten Halbjahr stabil im Vergleich zum Vorjahr bleiben würde. Nun rechnet adidas jedoch damit, dass aufgrund der anhaltenden umfangreichen Covid-19-Beschränkungen der Umsatz in China während des restlichen Jahres im zweistelligen Prozentbereich zurückgehen wird.

Infolgedessen prognostiziert adidas nun für das Gesamtunternehmen ein währungsbereinigtes Umsatzwachstum im mittleren bis hohen einstelligen Prozentbereich für das Geschäftsjahr 2022 (bisherige Prognose: im unteren Bereich der Spanne zwischen 11 % und 13 %). Basierend auf dem weniger günstigen Marktmix aufgrund des niedriger als erwarteten Umsatzes in China sowie der Auswirkungen der Initiativen zum Abbau der Überbestände in diesem Markt bis zum Jahresende wird sich die Bruttomarge des Unternehmens für 2022 den Erwartungen zufolge nun auf rund 49,0 % belaufen (bisherige Prognose: rund 50,7 %). Demzufolge rechnet das Unternehmen nun mit einer operativen Marge im Geschäftsjahr 2022 in Höhe von rund 7,0 % (bisherige Prognose: rund 9,4 %). Der Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen wird den Erwartungen zufolge einen Wert von rund 1,3 Mrd. € erreichen (bisherige Prognose: im unteren Bereich der Spanne zwischen 1,8 Mrd. € und 1,9 Mrd. €).

Bisher hat das Unternehmen in den anderen Märkten keine nennenswerte Verlangsamung des Durchverkaufs seiner Produkte oder signifikante Stornierungen von Großhandelsaufträgen verzeichnet. Trotzdem berücksichtigt die angepasste Prognose vor dem Hintergrund der schwierigeren gesamtwirtschaftlichen Bedingungen für das zweite Halbjahr 2022 auch eine potenzielle Verlangsamung der Konsumausgaben in diesen Märkten.

Entgegen dieser negativen Vorzeichen erwartet adidas während der zweiten Jahreshälfte für das Gesamtunternehmen nach wie vor ein Umsatzwachstum im zweistelligen Bereich. Neben einer vorteilhaften Vergleichsbasis zum Vorjahr sind weitere Treiber der Beschleunigung die starke Produktpalette des Unternehmens in den kommenden Monaten, die Möglichkeit der Bestandsauffüllung bei Großhandelskunden angesichts der erstmals wieder vollständigen Produktverfügbarkeit, sowie die Unterstützung durch sportliche Großereignisse.

Basierend auf vorläufigen Zahlen stieg der Umsatz von adidas im zweiten Quartal auf währungsbereinigter Basis um 4 %. Dies ist auf starke zweistellige Zuwächse in Nordamerika und Lateinamerika, Zuwächse im hohen einstelligen Prozentbereich in EMEA (ebenfalls zweistelliges Wachstum ohne negative Effekte von Russland/GUS) sowie die Rückkehr auf den Wachstumspfad in Asien-Pazifik zurückzuführen. In Euro nahm der Umsatz um 10 % auf 5,596 Mrd. € zu. Die Bruttomarge des Unternehmens ging im zweiten Quartal um 1,5 Prozentpunkte auf 50,3 % zurück und die operative Marge belief sich auf 7,0 % (2021: 10,7 %). Der Gewinn aus fortgeführten Geschäftsbereichen betrug im zweiten Quartal 360 Mio. € (2021: 387 Mio. €), unterstützt durch einen einmaligen, positiven Steuereffekt von über 100 Mio. € infolge der Auflösung einer in einem früheren Jahr gebildeten Rückstellung.

Rooted in a shared commitment to empower aspiring women athletes and hoopers – who like Parker set out to create their own legacy, the encore collection is the embodiment of Parker’s evolution on-and-off the court melding Ace’s style and performance insights for the next generation player.

The Candace Parker Collection Part II launches with the all-new Exhibit B, arriving in three custom colorways employing Lightstrike cushioning for fluid and dynamic handling. Each iteration of Parker's Exhibit Bs are inspired by her personal journey beginning with the “For Lailaa Nicole” receiving emerald green with silver accents in honor of her daughter. As for Parker, it’s not about “wearing the crown,” but about “sharing it” resulting in “Game Royalty”, a purple and gold colorway representing African queens followed by an ash blue and shadow navy for “Windy City” version signifying the hometown hero’s 2022 league title and rounded out by three unique Exhibit B “Elevated Team” colorways emphasizing the magic of teamwork.

The Candace Parker Collection Part II is an elevation for the new generation of athletes completed with a vibrant combination of pre to post-game apparel offerings including signature Ace sweatsuits, cropped jackets and hoodies, all paired with an assortment of tees and shorts that harken back to pivotal moments in Parker’s career. The return of inclusive sizing is paramount and purposeful, allowing Parker’s vision for expanded access to female and non-binary athletes who’ve traditionally had to size down to access men’s basketball apparel and footwear.

adidas introduces Y-3 Fall/Winter 2022 Chapter 3: Memories of Orange

As Y-3 continues its ongoing 20th Anniversary celebrations, adidas and Yohji Yamamoto return to present the brand’s third seasonal offering. Building on the “20 Years: Re-Coded” thematic narrative, Chapter 3 is an auspicious ode to one of the brand’s most iconic colors – Orange – as Y-3 delves into the past in order to boldly envisage a visceral new future.

Audaciously exploring the theme of collective memory, the latest offering from Y-3 sees adidas and Yohji Yamamoto delve into their shared past to consider Memories of Orange . A synonymous symbol for Y-3, Orange has been the primary color of the brand’s logo for many years. For Fall/Winter 2022 Chapter 3, the brand shines a light on this most iconic of signifiers, contrasting the luminosity of the pantone with black and neutral palettes, while simultaneously incorporating evocative references to a sport that has remained an unending influence – football.

The seasonal offering is highlighted by a selection of pieces that feature contrasting logos, bold blocking, and, of course, fluorescent Orange color palettes. Conceived as a harmonious cacophony of contrasts, the collection also boasts new takes on football crest logos and reimagined team sponsor graphics. Meanwhile an array of dynamic footwear sees the Y-3 HOKORI III , the Y-3 ULTRABOOST 22 , and a bright Orange colorway of the iconic Y-3 QASA take center stage, as well as ushering in the arrival of the brand’s expressive take on an archival adidas classic: the Y-3 GAZELLE .

Accompanying the launch of Fall/Winter 2022 Chapter 3 is a powerfully energetic campaign shot by Thue Nørgaard with creative direction from Jamie Reid and styling from Robbie Spencer. Representing a continuation of the aesthetic language established in Chapters 1 & 2 the expressive visuals focus on control, determination, and boldness of spirit. Featuring a carefully chosen cast of rebellious figures, the models recode sporting movement as an artistic expression through explosively choreographed gestures. Warm lighting, meanwhile, is expressed through a digital backdrop composed of two different shades of orange and a nostalgic pastel blue, which come together to reference a sun at dawn. The result – a flood of luminescence that is at once an allusion to Y-3’s emergent beginnings and an ode to the brand’s original color.

adidas Originals and MRBAILEY announce their collaboration

Having first collaborated on the iconoclastic SST Ammonite shoe as part of the brand’s Catalyst for Change program in 2020, adidas Originals and MRBAILEY have come together once again to ignite the start of an ongoing partnership that will see the innovative designer reimagine the Trefoil’s futuristic OZWORLD family of silhouettes.

MRBAILEY is the founder of innovative footwear design studio CONCEPTKICKS. London-based but nomadic by nature, the progressive creator’s practice specializes in an approach to footwear innovation that is distinctly speculative in thinking and undeniably boundary pushing in execution.

Using the biological research that informed the SST Ammonite silhouette as its starting point and informed by the ethos “nature is our greatest luxury”, MR BAILEY’s collaborative partnership with adidas Originals will explore the innate systems of design within the marine habitat. Building on the inherent wonder and beauty of aquatic lifeforms through design techniques, the partnership promises to challenge the artificial distinction between man made production and the natural world.

adidas launches new Sportswear Capsule

adidas drops an all-new sportswear capsule. The collection is inspired by the way the next generation continues to turn tradition on its head with how they move through the world, opting for a fresh comfort-first mindset and rejecting old-world pressures.

To get closer to this mindset, adidas reached out to uncover more about the rise of the cosy fit. Nine in ten believe the clothes they wear impact how mentally comfortable they feel, and over three quarters say they are more likely to thrive in multiple aspects of life when rooted in a true feeling of comfort. With this in mind, adidas’ sportswear capsule is built for next-level comfort both at home and on the streets with a full collection of casual, stylish fits for both men and women.

Fronted by a raft of next generation trailblazers, including global award-winning actress Hoyeon, US gymnast sensation Nia Dennis, American football superstar Tua Tagavailoa, and Chinese national sprinting champion Xie Zhenye, the campaign reveals how choosing comfort in mind and body has given them confidence, more internal headspace, and the ability to embrace any challenges within their journey of progress.

adidas and Yohji Yamamoto Re-Introduce Y-3 QASA HIGH

When adidas and Yohji Yamamoto first took to the runway at Paris Fashion week in October 2002 for the inaugural Y-3 collection, the brand with the Three Stripes and the avant-garde Japanese designer changed the worlds of fashion and sportswear. Over ten years later, in 2013, Y-3 introduced one of its most loved sneakers to date – the Y-3 QASA HIGH. Upon arrival, the boundary pushing silhouette made an instant impact in culture, and, having been worn by many of the world’s most forward thinking tastemakers, continues to do so to this day. Now, as adidas and Yohji Yamamoto ring in 20 years of collaboration, the iconic sneaker makes its timely return.

With Y-3 looking back on key moments, designs, materials, and silhouettes from the brand’s history, the Y-3 QASA HIGH once again takes center stage. Instantly identifiable by its expressive EVA outsole, which borrows from adidas’ 90s Tubular running technology, the daring silhouette features a neoprene sock-like upper with stretch mesh, elasticated strapping, a leather toe-cap, and suede heel lining. The avant-garde take on a high top trainer is then completed with a Poron® performance sockliner for cushioning.

adidas and Gucci showcase their collection

Designed by Creative Director Alessandro Michele, adidas x Gucci merges the emblems of the House with those of the iconic sportswear brand. The collection expands on the sartorial streetwear creations that debuted on the runway with a spectrum of sport-inspired pieces, distinguished by the same kaleidoscopic aesthetics of the show.

To present the selection, Alessandro Michele envisioned a series of images inspired by archival catalogs as a cast of characters strikes dynamic poses against brightly colored backdrops alongside sporty props, captured by photographer Carlijn Jacobs.

With the heritage of both brands encoded in a trio of lines, a fixation on stripes plays out across ready-to-wear pieces that echo the silhouettes of athletic staples and leisurewear. Track pants feature the white Three Stripes of adidas on one leg, while the other is defined by the red and green Web of Gucci. Energetic prints portray how motifs like the adidas Trefoil and GG monogram find synergy to amplify two legacies. Conventionally formal pieces like leather heels, suede loafers, and silk scarves enter hybridized territory as well, as they are marked with casual codes. Similarly, retro aesthetics become intrinsically contemporary as they proclaim there are no rules when it comes to dressing up.

Reflecting a shared commitment to innovation, progress, sustainability goals and collective action, the collection features multiple pieces crafted with future-conscious material fabrications including polyester, cotton and viscose.
