Timeless design always finds its voice through people, communities and subcultures. The icons we are so familiar with were always, right from their origins, a brilliant piece of design that could reinvented and reworked in countless ways. That’s why adidas Originals have proven their longevity and preserved the iconic appeal of the brand’s cultural heritage, embodied by the Gazelle, Samba, and Spezial.

Originally designed for sports, the three iconic shoes catered for specific needs of training, of football and handball. As individuals the world over started to interpret the aesthetic and adapt the use of these hallmarks of sports footwear, the cultural legacy of adidas Originals began to accompany a panoply of movements, from music to skateboarding, through their own stories and metamorphoses.

With this Schön! editorial, we investigate the style and interpretations of these timeless icons: from urban underground to nature, the hybrid nature of the Gazelle, Samba, and Spezial come to life in this editorial, shot by Maximilian Mair and styled by Patrick Clark. A thousand stories are hidden behind every icon – which way do you wear yours?
