adidas Originals

In the final year of the three year strikethrough campaign, we looked directly to the brand and put into question its own philosophy of originality.

The launch film furthers this idea by using the much redone Frank Sinatra song, My Way, and reimagines it in a way that only Adidas could. It proves if you push something far enough it becomes ORIGINAL again.
