adidas Originals 2015 Spring/Summer Highlights Lookbook


adidas Originals highlights its offerings for Spring/Summer 2015 with its latest seasonal lookbook. Shot by photographer Josh Olins in New York, the imagery, styled by Jodie Barnes, showcases a range of looks that reference everything from motor racing and boxing to running and more. Here, the Blue sub-label takes cues from classic silhouettes, referencing 1974's landmark "Rumble in the Jungle" with a bevy of star-embellished garments while pieces like the Island Windbreaker and Island Crewneck subtly nod to the after-sport streetwear of two decades ago. Finally, performance pieces round out the lookbook as temperature-regulating Climacool apparel appears alongside BOOST-cushioned energy-return footwear.


adidas' full range of Spring/Summer 2015 releases is being delivered globally throughout the season while the No74 and No42 concept stores in Berlin and Paris, respectively, are offering the full collection of highlights depicted here.
