When was the Adidas x Gucci collection revealed?
Gucci unveiled the Adidas x Gucci collection during its “Exquisite Gucci” runway show in February, which was its fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection. The fashion show included a star-studded front row with the likes of Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Jared Leto, Serena Williams, Daisy Edgar-Jones and many others.
What does the Adidas x Gucci collection look like?
The Adidas x Gucci collection offers women’s and men’s pieces, including apparel, shoes, accessories, jewelry and lifestyle pieces. The collection fuses both brands’ design ethos, merging the Gucci and Adidas logos and incorporating many of the sports brand’s signature elements, such as its three stripes and well-known tracksuits. Gucci also incorporated its own well-known red and green design.
The collection evokes a ’70s flair, with retro pieces like flared pants, bowling shirts, knitted vests and other pieces designed with geometric prints. Shoes include new versions of the Adidas Gazelle sneaker and Gucci’s Horsebit loafers in suede and leather.
For handbags, the collection offers the Gucci Horesebit 1955 cross-body bag and duffel bags in varying sizes.

Creative director Alessandro Michele took a ’70s-inspired approach to the campaign, which was photographed by Carlijn Jacobs.
“Alessandro Michele has envisioned a campaign that takes inspiration directly from an archival 1979 Adidas catalogue,” reads the collection’s press release. “To animate the concept, a gridded template showcases a variety of moving imagery captured by Carlijn Jacobs. Against a brightly colored backdrop, models stretch, run or dance in place to a soundtrack of pensive phrases such as, ‘When your thoughts become reality, you understand what magic is.’”
When will the collection be available?
The Adidas x Gucci collection is available starting June 7.
How can I purchase pieces from the Adidas x Gucci collection?
The collaboration is available to purchase at Gucci stores, on its website and on the Adidas Confirmed app.
