The Hyperboost Edge, Adidas' latest 'super-trainer' engineered for energy, cushion, and cloud-like lightness, takes center stage in this premium studio still life.Santa Monica TodayAdidas partnered with its longtime creative agency For Good & Company to host a two-day, citywide event in Los Angeles to unveil its new Hyperboost Edge 'super-trainer' shoe. The experience began with an over-the-top room drop at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel, followed by a mysterious sprint across the city that culminated in the dramatic reveal of the Hyperboost Edge at a 31,000-square-foot event venue in downtown LA. The space featured three distinct hubs highlighting the shoe's key pillars of cushioning, lightweight, and energy, complete with custom soundscapes and immersive environments. The event concluded with a run along the Santa Monica boardwalk where attendees could try out the new sneakers.
Why it matters
This innovative product launch event allowed Adidas to build anticipation and excitement around the Hyperboost Edge through an engaging, multi-sensory experience that went beyond a traditional product reveal. By creating distinct environments to showcase the shoe's key features, Adidas was able to immerse attendees in the brand's story and give them a tangible sense of the product's performance benefits.
The details
The event began with an over-the-top room drop at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel, where guests' hotel rooms were outfitted with Adidas gear including running pants, leggings, and accessories. On the second day, attendees were ushered to a 31,000-square-foot event space in downtown LA that had been transformed into the 'Hyper Hub.' The space featured three distinct hubs, each highlighting a core pillar of the Hyperboost Edge: cushioning, lightweight, and energy. The cushioning hub had a two-inch-thick foam floor to demonstrate the shoe's pillow-like bounce, while the lightweight hub used mirrored surfaces and lighting to create a dreamy, floating sensation. Each hub also had its own custom soundscape. The event culminated with a run along the Santa Monica boardwalk where attendees could try out the new sneakers.
