The pinnacle expression of the adidas Originals brand returns with the second drop of the Blue Version Spring/Summer 2022 collection. At once an ode to, and a recontextualization of, the Trefoil’s history, this season, the elevated apparel and accessories offering subverts athletic codes with a distinctly future facing sensibility. Refusing to stand still, Blue Version defiantly reimagines archival looks for tomorrow, making carefully calculated, yet viscerally evocative, nods to key moments from the brand’s late 20th century repertoire.
For Spring/Summer 2022, the design direction takes on multiple convergent narratives, tied together with a cross-seasonal Blue Thread. A bold capsule-esque offering sees the brand with the Three Stripes revisit vintage sponsorship graphics, elevating lightweight warm-weather-ready garments with distorted visuals brought from the past into the now through perfectly imperfect printing techniques. Artistic prints and techniques then take center stage in a selection of pieces that features abstract aquarelle watercolors paired with satin fabrics, plissé construction, and expressive draping.
At once relentlessly subversive and uncompromisingly elevated – the second drop of the adidas Originals Spring/Summer 2022 Blue Version collection is available globally on April 13th at adidas.com/Blue_Version, adidas flagship stores, and through select retailers.
