adidas is at it again! Just when you thought they couldnโt up the ante, theyโve gone and done it with the new adidas Z.N.E. collection.
Picture this: a bunch of fresh-faced stars from around the world, all united in a campaign that screams style, culture, and a love of sport.
Weโre talking singer-songwriter-dancer triple threat Tate McRae, football wunderkind Jude Bellingham, sprinting sensation Noah Lyles, and a whole lot more.
These guys are strutting their stuff to show us how everyone can stay connected through what they love โ whether itโs football, athletics, dance, or even K-pop. And Adidas is giving them just the right wardrobe to do it.
The Look: Simple, Sharp, and Seriously Comfortable
So, whatโs the deal with this new adidas Z.N.E. collection? Well, itโs all about comfort without losing that stylish edge.
Weโre talking hoodies, sweatshirts, pants, tees, and shorts โ each piece with its own colour-blocking twist.
The black parallel stripes running through the collection are a bit of a visual metaphor โ lines that connect communities, inspire fans, and bring people together, whether youโre on the pitch, the stage, or just out on the town.
Meet the Faces of the Campaign
Front and centre in this campaign, weโve got a pretty diverse bunch. Tate McRae, a Canadian pop powerhouse with some serious dance moves, is paired with US track star Noah Lyles, who brings as much flair off the track as he does on it.
Then thereโs Xochitl Gomez, the actress-slash-martial artist whoโs got the kind of cool you canโt fake. Not to mention K-pop sensation BABYMONSTER, whoโs all about energy and style.
Football fans? Donโt worry, theyโve got you covered too, with Jude Bellingham, Alessia Russo, and Paulo Dybala showing off what this collection can do from the pitch to the press conference.
This collection takes inspiration from the fields, tracks, and stages where these stars shine. Itโs more than just gear โ itโs a uniform that says, โHey, weโre all in this together,โ no matter where youโre from or what you love.
Noah Lyles on His Style and Why It Matters
Noah Lyles, the man who seems to sprint faster than his own shadow, is more than just a face in this lineup.
Heโs all about blending sport and style, and this new collection lets him do exactly that. โSport and style are two of my biggest passions,โ he says, โand I bring these worlds together as much as I can โ whether thatโs on the track, off-duty, or walking down the tunnel on race day.โ
Lyles has a knack for mixing big, bold looks with staple pieces that never go out of style. Heโs constantly experimenting, drawing inspiration from the different cultures and communities heโs encountered throughout his athletic career.
โI feel so lucky that my athletics journey has allowed me to travel the globe and experience different cultures and communities,โ he adds. โItโs definitely influenced different fashion trends Iโve dipped into over the years.โ
The Secret Sauce: Comfort-First Fashion
According to Aimee Arana, General Manager of adidas Sportswear & Training, this collection taps into a major trend: โComfort-first looks influenced and born from the world of sport.โ
And letโs face it, who doesnโt want to feel like theyโre wrapped in comfort while looking effortlessly cool?
Each piece in this line is designed to be mixed and matched, allowing you to show off your unique style while still feeling part of something bigger.
Whether youโre cheering in the stands or getting ready to hit the field yourself, these pieces are made to bring people together.
