The adidas Z.N.E. collection features a range of hoodies, sweatshirts, pants, tees, and shorts, characterized by bold color blocking and the iconic black three stripes. These elements symbolize the lines that connect communities, celebrating unity through sport and culture. This campaign, bringing together athletes and artists from various disciplines, aims to inspire connections across different fandoms and everyday athletes worldwide.
Leading the charge in this campaign are some of adidas’ most influential young faces, including Canadian singer-songwriter Tate McRae, track and field sensation Noah Lyles, K-pop group BABYMONSTER, and football stars Jude Bellingham, Alessia Russo, and Paulo Dybala. Each represents a unique aspect of sport or culture, showcasing how the adidas Z.N.E. collection creates a sense of belonging and encourages fans to connect through shared passions.
Noah Lyles, one of the campaign’s standout figures, expressed his excitement about the new collection, highlighting how it merges his love for sport and style. “Sport and style are two of my biggest passions,” Lyles stated. “I bring these worlds together as much as I can – whether that’s on the track, off-duty or walking down the tunnel on race day. So, the fact I can extend this passion even further as a face of adidas Sportswear’s new collection is incredible. I am forever playing around with my style – for me, I always have to keep it looking and feeling fresh.”
Aimee Arana, adidas Global General Manager for Sportswear & Training, emphasized the collection’s focus on comfort-first looks inspired by the world of sport. “Trends are ever changing, but what we continue to see at the forefront of today’s style are comfort-first looks influenced and born from the world of sport,” Arana explained. “What’s more, our audience are connecting with their peers by adopting these style codes deeply embedded in the culture of sport as an expression of unity – which is exactly what this campaign set out to celebrate.”
The adidas Z.N.E. collection stands out for its minimalistic and clean-cut design, using Primeknit technology to ensure comfort and ease of movement. Key pieces include the ADIDAS Z.N.E. FZ Hoodie and Pants, which feature a monochromatic base with contrasting black detailing, and the ADIDAS Z.N.E. Tee and Shorts, known for their sleek design and versatility.
Available worldwide from August 29, 2024, the adidas Z.N.E. collection can be found in stores, online at adidas.com, and via the adidas app, offering fans everywhere the opportunity to embrace this new wave of sport-inspired fashion.
