South Korean musician and actress JENNIE has collaborated with adidas for several years, appearing in campaigns and serving as an ambassador. Now the global icon has taken the partnership one step further by co-designing her first adidas Originals collection. adidas Originals by JENNIE FW26 collection provides a unique interpretation of the adidas legendary Superstar silhouette.
adidas Originals by JENNIE FW26 collection
adidas Originals by JENNIE FW26 collection reimagines the brand’s classics through JENNIE’s unique lens. Inspired by dancing, the design takes ballet codes to a more surreal realm. Timeless elegance is combined with a futuristic vision of modern femininity in every piece of the collection.
“With this collaboration, I wanted to reinterpret the classic identity of adidas Originals through my own perspective and energy. My goal was to bring together the softness and restraint found in ballet, as well as the strength behind it, with the feeling of an endless and unknown space. I focused on creating an overall mood that feels timeless yet forward-facing – cinematic and surreal, with a quiet but powerful presence.”

adidas JENNIE SUPERSTAR SQ BALLET
Inspired by JENNIE’s concept of Functional Grace, the collection tells a story of reinvention. Elegant silhouettes and controlled movements typical of ballet are presented through disruption and subversion. SUPERSTAR SQ BALLET, inspired by ballet footwear, represents the centrepiece of the collection.
Based on the adidas Superstar silhouette, reinvented through the subtle quality of a ballet pointe shoe, the model is made of a premium leather upper paired with comfortable lambskin lining. A squared toe and a ribbon detailing complete the ballet-inspired aesthetic, while removable laces offer versatile styling options.
Knit cardigans and leg warmers
adidas Originals by JENNIE FW26 collection spans to include apparel. Sheer leggings and sleeveless bodysuits, track tops and pants are accompanied by wrap skirts, knit wrap cardigans, and layering T-shirts. Polar fleece half-zip hoodies, cutout socks and high-knit leg warmers complete the collection, while adding a touch of playfulness.
Cosmic Ballerina: Kinematics campaign
Memorable promotional campaign presents the collection, centred around the concept Cosmic Ballerina: Kinematics. Filmed in a surreal environment, reminiscent of the never-ending vastness of the cosmos, the campaign follows JENNIE as she surpasses the boundaries of gravity to capture the beauty of the human shape and uninhibited energy. More than a simple art form, ballet is used as a metaphor for power, strength and opportunity.
The adidas Originals by JENNIE FW26 collection is launched on September 1, 2026. All items from the collection are available on the adidas CONFIRMED app, adidas website and selected stores and retailers.
