A Return to a 2002 Partnership
This latest collaboration revisits the creative link between adidas Originals and Coca-Cola® that first emerged during the 2002 World Cup. Now, more than two decades later, both brands reconnect to celebrate football culture on a global scale.
The collection draws heavily from early-2000s aesthetics. At the same time, it updates those references with modern cuts, bold graphics, and a street-ready attitude. As a result, it bridges nostalgia with contemporary fashion.
Footwear Inspired by Coca-Cola Identity
A key highlight of the collection is its footwear lineup. It reimagines four iconic adidas silhouettes through Coca-Cola-inspired design language.
The range includes the Adistar Control 5, Predator Sala, Climacool 1, and Megaride F50. Each model reflects different Coca-Cola packaging cues, from can-inspired colour blocking to droplet-style detailing. Meanwhile, the Megaride F50 references the classic glass bottle through its unique design accents.
Together, the sneakers combine heritage sports performance with collectible, lifestyle-driven storytelling.
Apparel Blending Sport and Nostalgia
The apparel selection continues the same design philosophy. It includes track tops, jerseys, shorts, T-shirts, and accessories, alongside a standout bright red airliner bag.
The collection is split into two distinct design directions. One focuses on bold, logo-heavy graphics, while the other leans into vintage-inspired aesthetics. A highlight piece, the jersey, fuses retro Coca-Cola advertising from different eras into one cohesive design.
This duality reinforces the collection’s balance between archive inspiration and modern expression.
Campaign: “Originals are the Real Thing”
The launch campaign, titled “Originals are the Real Thing,” brings the collection to life through storytelling. It follows a group of distinctive characters, including Lamine Yamal, as they prepare for a journey to the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
Shot in a cinematic summer setting, the campaign focuses on individuality and cultural expression. It highlights how football connects different personalities, styles, and communities.
