One year of prep and Jennie's adidas Originals collab finally dropped—whole mood is ballet-core
Jennie spent twelve months co-designing an adidas collection inspired by ballet. Result: sleek tracksuits, ribbon-lace sneakers, and a creative vision that reads crisp.
- Jennie's adidas Originals debut collection emerged from a year-long co-design partnership launching globally September 1st.
- Ballet-core mood threaded through: black tracksuits with three-stripe detail, ribbon-laced SUPERSTAR SQ BALLET shoes, white bodysuit finale.
- Each campaign shot layered sportiness with elegance, proving twelve months of planning showed up in the finished collection.
If the output is this polished, yeah—'Jennie-didas' checks out.
Jennie signed on as co-designer and creative collaborator for roughly a year to build adidas Originals' first collection under her name. The whole thing launched globally on September 1st. The vibe: 'Functional Grace,' a ballet-core mood threaded through every piece.
The hero shoe: SUPERSTAR SQ BALLET, laced with ribbons.
First shot: sheer curtains, black turtleneck knit, track pants with three-stripe detail cutting down the leg. Trefoil logo sits centered on the chest—instant adidas read.
Same set, glittery cosmic background, she's got her eyes closed in quiet intensity. The photo has this dreamy, meditative quality that sits hard against the sporty baseline.
Event-space moment: she's perched on a low seat. 'JENNIE' sign visible behind her, stakes high. Off to the side, a glimpse of the collection's hero shoe.
Then comes the centerpiece—black bodysuit, long braided hair spilling down, ballet-adjacent posture. The shoes: black body with ribbon wrapping detail that recalls ballet pointe shoes. SUPERSTAR SQ BALLET the label they slapped on it. The inspiration landed clear.
Back to the tracksuit, now sitting on a low bench. Same black tone, very fit like she just threw it on, but intentional. White shoe peeking out adds contrast.
Table-leaning shot, same shoes back in frame. The three-stripe detail carries to the sole—the whole set's unified.
Venue signage: oversized 'JENNIE' text under blue light, trefoil logo beside it. The scale of the event declared itself.
Cosmic backdrop returns, tracksuit silhouette again. Black and glittery behind her, very magazine-spread energy.
Final move: white sleeveless bodysuit, legwear tight, mirror-reflection symmetry to the frame. This version reads ballet costume—entirely different posture, different read from the tracksuit cuts.
What tied it all together: black turtleneck and three-stripe track pants formed the base mood. Braided hair and ribbon-laced shoes whispered the ballet reference without screaming it. White bodysuit finale swung back to pure elegance. Twelve months of design work showed up in the details—nothing casual, nothing phoned in. Sportiness and grace didn't fight each other. They just coexisted.
This is the kind of collab that earns the nickname. One year well spent.
"Twelve months of design work showed up in the details—nothing casual, nothing phoned in."
