adidas Originals x JENNIE Collaboration Revealed Sept. 1
adidas Originals has elevated JENNIE from global ambassador to design collaborator with the announcement of adidas Originals by JENNIE. The BLACKPINK star's first official co-created collection will debut September 1, 2026, marking a significant shift in the brand's approach to celebrity partnership.

From Campaign Face to Creative Partner
adidas Originals has formalized what was previously a traditional celebrity endorsement into a design partnership. JENNIE's transition from fronting major global campaigns—including the Spring 2026 activation and collaborative work alongside CLOT by Edison Chen—signals the Three Stripes' confidence in her creative vision beyond the campaign brief. The new sub-label designation, adidas Originals by JENNIE, positions her as a genuine co-creator rather than a marketing figurehead.
This structural shift reflects a broader industry trend toward elevated collaborations where cultural figures have tangible input on product development. For adidas, the move leverages JENNIE's established lifestyle influence and her constituency within both K-pop and global streetwear communities.
Design Details and Teaser Aesthetics
The initial teaser operates with deliberate restraint. A monochromatic presentation—black backdrop, neutral palette—frames JENNIE in a tracksuit jacket paired with high-waisted bodycon shorts and heel-less, toe-less dance socks. The styling choice reads intentional: the absence of traditional footwear and the emphasis on movement (captured mid-dance) suggests a collection rooted in functionality and contemporary silhouettes rather than logomania.
The tracksuit jacket and shorts combination hints at a performance-adjacent aesthetic, nodding to her background as a dancer while acknowledging modern athleisure codes. The sock choice—specifically the heel-less, toe-less construction—signals technical consideration and separates the collection from standard three-stripes sportswear offerings.
What's Coming September 1
adidas will unveil the full adidas Originals by JENNIE collection on September 1, 2026. Beyond the teaser's minimalist preview, the complete lineup remains unconfirmed, though the initial styling suggests a focused edit rather than a sprawling capsule. Expect the release to emphasize refined silhouettes and accessible price points aligned with adidas Originals' positioning.
For shoppers tracking adidas inventory, the brand currently runs deals across multiple retailers, with discounts averaging 36% off select product—though collaboration pieces typically launch at full retail before any promotional activity.
