The Collectors

Last week I teased about a beautiful project, I have been working on with adidas 
in the past year.
Germany's leading footwear company invited 5 collectors to the archive and HQ 
in Herzogenaurach to design their own shoe! What an offer!
Meeting OCD-heads like me, taking a peek into the archive, doing a tour through 
Adi Dassler's home, visiting the prototype-factory in Scheinfeld and as my 
personal highlight, meeting Jacque Chassaing (the designer of most of my favorite 
adidas models) are just some of the great memories that adidas created for us in
Herzogenaurach.


















It was an extraordinary experience and I feel honored to have participated, 
along with these serious adidas enthusiasts. 
After the jump you can look at the five short, but beautiful films about us 
collectors, created by U-DOX.
