Featuring guest appearances from Adidas’s long list of sponsors - Mark Gonzales, Method Man, Missy & Run DMC amongst others.

It looks like a big year for Adidas Originals. Their recently released and highly sought after Originals by Original range has turned many heads. Designed by Kazuki, one part of the legendary japanese Fragment design team.

There are also whispers of part three of the now infamous collaboration with Tokyo’s premium street wear label - Neighborhood.

Ticket holders were given a full white Adidas tracksuit to wear, matching headgear and a whole heap of paint and then encouraged to get ‘creative’ throughout the gig.
