The Project

During a Media trip to the adidas Archive at the Herzogenaurach Headquarters, the SayMatt team had the challenge to create and develop a full 5 episode project around Home of Classics. 

The asset suit consisted of 5 episodes in Long Format versions (3-5 minute long) for Youtube and shorter Social Cutdowns (50 secs) for Instagram, with adapts for 3 different markets 🌎

  • Mexico
  • Brasil
  • Rest of Latin America 

A total of 15 audiovisual pieces were delivered in less than a month time window, with a sprint delivery of 3 days for Episode 01. 

While the main Latin American sneakers media and partners visited the adidas Archive, we were there capturing relevant content for the creation and edition of the Episode series.

Individual episodes explored from Macro to Micro the role & history of classics in general, deep-diving into key franchises through the lens of:

  • Key Partners relevant to each market
  • Sandra Trapp - the adidas archivist
  • Martin Love - Head of Design for adidas Originals
  • George Griffin - Head of Statement Collaborations for adidas Originals

Imagery combined Archive visit experience, interview footage & general adidas Headquarters footage for context.
