Adidas Originals has introduced adiSignature, a new apparel line developed with American designer Willy Chavarria in the role of creative advisor. The first collection goes on sale October 23, 2026.

Adidas tracksuits date to the mid-1960s and have travelled from a footballer's staple to a broad symbol of youth culture, from hip-hop onward. AdiSignature sets out to take those classics and rework them with contemporary silhouettes, vivid colors and premium materials.

The centerpiece is a reworking of 1980s staples, notably the Firebird and SST tracksuits. Wallpaper* points to relaxed tailoring meant to be piled on in layers, along with two-sided zippers, retro logos and heavy fleece. The palette runs from fluorescent yellow to hunter green to true blue.

This is not a collaboration with Chavarria's own label. He serves as creative advisor, though Wallpaper* sees clear traces of his sensibility in the pieces. In a statement he called adiSignature a framework that he and Adidas developed together and that will evolve over years, a new way of thinking about the brand's timeless offering.

It is not their first project together. Last year, after teasing the partnership on the runway, Adidas released a collection with Chavarria that celebrated his Chicano heritage alongside Adidas signatures, and further drops followed.

The campaign was shot by Brianna Capozzi and styled by Georgia Pendlebury. It features a diverse cast of models in joyful, unscripted moments, built around the idea that the wearer is the finishing touch.
