Germany's Adidas & Ranveer Singh unveil Spring/Summer 2023 campaign

The arrival of the collection is accompanied by a striking campaign which follows as Adidas Originals takes over a retro inspired Opera House environment, steeped in heritage. Captured by Errikos and House of Pixels, the dynamic visuals break the status-quo and challenge pre-conceived notions of exclusivity by juxtaposing traditional settings of luxury with playful shenanigans performed by the dynamic and effervescent, Ranveer Singh as he takes the consumers through his journey from the green room to the centre-stage. Each move that Ranveer makes through the film questions pre-conceived notions of exclusivity and luxury. He hacks predominantly elite experiences and reframes them with inclusivity, the company said in a media statement.

Styled in the latest version of the iconic Stan Smith sneakers and Blue Version apparel, Ranveer Singh challenges society's paradigms of dress codes, and thus brings back the streetwear mentality to fashion. ‘The best you can be is an Original’ quips Ranveer Singh as bright spotlights rain on him and he takes in the glow.

“For almost six decades, the Stan Smith sneaker has remained relevant and iconic, traversing various cross-cultural changes. In 2023, the iconic Stan Smith sneaker is ready to break the fashion code for a generation that refuses to play by the rules. Through our latest campaign with Ranveer Singh, we set the tone for elevating and reimagining our classic and iconic footwear franchise and further driving culture credibility amongst streetwear enthusiasts, consumers, and next gen icons,” Speaking on the campaign Sunil Gupta, senior director, brand Adidas, India, said.

“Rules are always meant to be broken – and in a world full of pre-existing notions and codes, I have always believed in charting my own path, one that is unexpected and original, creative and authentic. Fashion too has always been a means of self-expression; hence I am extremely excited to team up with Adidas Originals as this campaign truly puts forward my fashion philosophy. Stan Smith has always been one of my all-time court classic sneakers; and now as it opens up for a new generation of creators, disruptors and rule-breakers, I hope to continue inspiring them with the Three Stripes,” Ranveer Singh said.
