adidas Originals Flagship Store Introduction:

The new Originals flagship stores bring the brand and retail experience much closer together, creating true beacons for the beloved trefoil. The flagship stores have a high degree of local relevance and take their inspiration from the neighbourhood, which is the beating heart of Originals and the source for the world’s originality.

Originals was the first brand to bring the style and spirit of sport to the streets. It was the first to bridge the divides between courts and streets, between tribes and between cultures. Its past is huge. Its achievements are amazing. And a whole generation of global youth has been included along the way.

The flagship stores re-enforce the connection to the local streetwear audience and trend setters. They re-enforce Originals as the pioneering steertwear brand.

The best of the best of Originals will be showcased through the flagship stores, including the most exciting collaborations, the latest sneaker highlights and many limited editions. The store experience will be elevated through events, strong and bold brand activations, artist cooperations, and experimental zones.
