adidas have launched a new Bob Marley collection inspired by the reggae icon’s love of football, celebrating his life, music and the sport he called “freedom”.
The sportswear giant has released a range that draws on Marley’s connection with the beautiful game, with designs influenced by his Jamaican roots and the culture that surrounded his music. The collection includes football-inspired apparel and footwear, with adidas using Marley’s legacy as the centrepiece of the campaign.
Marley’s passion for football was well known during his lifetime, with the singer often playing whenever he could while touring the world. For him, the game was more than just a pastime, acting as a release and a way to bring people together.
The theme of the drop is summed up by the quote: “Football is freedom.” adidas have used that message to link Marley’s impact on music with the global reach of football, presenting the collection as a tribute to his influence across generations.
The new adidas range celebrates Marley’s legacy through football, blending sporting style with nods to his life and sound, and putting his long-standing connection with the game at the heart of the release.
