From April 29th to May 8th, adidas Originals will hold an experiential exhibition, "Crossroads | Crossing," at BANK GALLERY in Harajuku, Tokyo, showcasing the brand's connection to culture. Based on the theme of "Connect," the exhibition tells the unique brand story of adidas Originals, which has enduringly connected to cultures such as sports, fashion, music, and art. The name "Crossroads" evokes the image of a street intersection where people come and go, intersecting with one another, and represents a place where cultures intersect in many directions, with adidas Originals as the hub. The exhibition is divided into three zones, including "Connect with Innovation," which showcases adidas' latest products and technologies based on a futuristic concept. Visitors can experience adidas innovation firsthand. During the event, a talk session corner called "Connect with Pioneers" will be held every day. Legends, influencers, and designers with expertise in sports, fashion, music, art, and other fields related to adidas Originals will share their stories of connection to the brand.

"Connect with Culture," showcasing adidas products and their cultural connections, will bring together over 700 pairs of archival shoes and apparel owned by adidas addicts both in Japan and overseas, symbolizing the brand's origins. Visitors will also be introduced to the latest contemporary items, allowing them to learn about the cultural stories behind these timeless products.

On April 29th from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, adidas legend Stan Smith, the inspiration behind the iconic "Stan Smith" shoe, will visit Japan for a special one-night-only talk session called "Stan Smith Night," inviting consumers. He will talk about the story behind the creation of "Stan Smith" and his connection with the Adidas brand.
