    MUMBAI: Adidas India has tapped Suhana Khan as the latest face of its brand, signalling a bold stride in blending classic streetwear heritage with the next generation’s flair for expression. The announcement marks a strategic move by the global sportswear giant to rejuvenate its Originals identity with a voice that speaks to India’s youth.

    With this collaboration, adidas revisits its cult-classic sneaker franchise — the Superstar — anchoring the campaign in timeless fashion that resonates across generations. While the shoe first stormed courts and streets decades ago, Suhana’s entry breathes new cultural relevance into the silhouette, infusing it with the energy of digital-age trendsetters.

    “I’m super thrilled to be joining the iconic adidas family. The brand has always held a special place in my heart, with its classic sneakers being a staple in my wardrobe. adidas Originals stands for creativity, authenticity, and staying true to yourself — values I truly admire. To now be part of a legacy rooted in culture that has inspired so many across the world feels incredibly special”, Suhana shared in a statement.

    Adidas India GM Neelendra Singh echoed the sentiment, “At adidas India, we have always believed in the power of cultural creators, those who shape the now and define what’s next. Suhana Khan infuses fresh energy into some of our most iconic apparel pieces and classic sneaker silhouettes like the Superstar, reimagining them for a new generation. Her style is effortless and expressive, and we’re excited to welcome her into the adidas family as we continue to champion individuality and self-expression through street culture”.

    The partnership underscores adidas India’s approach to stay rooted in legacy while adapting to evolving style codes. By welcoming a young cultural voice like Suhana, the brand aims to reassert its Originals line as a mainstay of contemporary wardrobes, without abandoning its heritage.

    As Suhana steps into her role, adidas promises a renewed creative vision — one stitched together by classic design, future-forward influence, and the enduring appeal of self-expression.

    adidas Originals & Ranveer Singh collab for a new campaign

    Mumbai: adidas Originals, the pioneering sportswear brand for the streets launches a new campaign that cements the Trefoil as a cultural pioneer by teaming up with Bollywood superstar and cultural icon Ranveer Singh. Since it was first introduced to the world over 50 years ago, the Trefoil has lived a thousand lifetimes, trading feet with everyone, from athletes to cultural pioneers. Marking the arrival of a new era for the brand, in 2023, adidas Originals pays homage to those that have continued to transport its iconic signifier – the Trefoil – to the forefront of culture, over and over again, with a new global brand platform: “We Gave the World an Original. You Gave Us a Thousand Back.”

    From sport to skate, music, and fashion, Originals have always stood the test of time. Against the backdrop of three timeless ‘characters’ from the storied Three Stripes archive – the Superstar, the Gazelle, and the Samba, each of the three main global campaign films spotlights a different silhouette, as the narratives of the Trefoil’s history are interwoven with the ways in which these iconic styles, born in sport, have been embraced, reinterpreted, and absorbed into culture – time and time again. Featuring partners, collaborators, and friends of the brand that have helped to tell the story of the Trefoil the world over, superstar Ranveer Singh leads the campaign narrative for India alongside global counterparts Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Jenna Ortega, Pusha T to name a few.

    The film opens with superstar Ranveer Singh in a reflective mood as he says, “As far back as I remember, I have always wanted to be an actor”. This sets the tone for a heartfelt exploration of his journey of becoming an actor, and how the three stripes have always been a part of this journey. As he recollects nostalgic moments and shares his candid thoughts, he also emphasizes the importance of staying connected to one’s roots and never losing sight of where he came from, of always being an original. Through intimate camerawork that focuses on interesting techniques including fluid cinematography, movement, and close-up shots, the narrative takes viewers up close and personal with superstar Ranveer on his journey of truly becoming an Original.

    Three stripes. Three signature icons. Three films. A thousand originals. The latest adidas Originals brand campaign is a collection of timeless stories; retold for tomorrow.
