“Nature is special beyond words. It allows us to become more inspired, more present, more conscious, more human,” said Nadia Svensson, Adidas Senior Product Director. “This collaboration celebrates nature through beautiful photographs — abstract colorful ecosystems told from above — revealing incredible stories about the Earth.

Exploration and photography have always gone hand-in-hand, as evidenced by National Geographic’s longevity. Designers for Adidas looked through the National Geographic photography archives for inspiration and integrated what they found into this new collection. All the pieces in this collection have the iconic icon associated with NatGeo. Look for that pop of yellow, and you know you’re shopping for the right clothes. Different natural sites were used to inspire pieces, including locales from Utah to Norway.
