Description

So much of the world has settled into a numbing complacency.Caught on a loop, refusing to change what they have the power to change.Yet for adidas Originals, each act of creation begins with an act of iteration.A reflection on the past to progress new.To launch this idea, the Brand with the Three Stripes puts forth its next iteration of “Original is Never Finished,” featuring some of the world’s most influential creators— Dua Lipa, A$AP Ferg, Nick Young, Florencia Galarza, Luhan, and more—as each creator’s act impacts/influences the next.Scoring the film is a recreation of Inaya Day’s “Keep Pushin’,”which has been remade into a powerful electronic anthem for the long-form film, appearing in multiple unique iterations across various pieces of the campaign.The roll out will continue throughout 2018 with content and activations, as an effort to prove that from repetition comes variation;out of variation, comes iteration;and out of iteration, comes creation.
