adidas Invites These Six NYC Creatives to Continue Shaping the City

Over the last seven decades, adidas has showcased a relentless pursuit of performance innovation to help athletes unlock what was previously thought of as unfathomable. Recent concepts (CLIMACOOL+ Slides, Adizero Crazylight Pro) previewed at the brand's Home of Innovation summit demonstrate that this hasn't changed, but the German juggernaut also continues to pay attention to culture and fashion.

This is where the adidas Originals Team comes in.

As the brand looks to make a concerted push around the Stan Smith ahead of the tennis model's 54th anniversary, the Three Stripes is empowering creatives across the world to shape food, music, art, design, style, and community. One such cohort is known as the adidas NYC Creative Class, which consists of six New York-based creatives.

Each invited member brings something district to the fabric of the "Big Apple."

The six creatives that form part of adidas' Fall 2026 NYC Creative Class are:

• Anysia Kym (@anysiakym)
• Cyle Warner (@cylewarner)
• Gabe Gordon (@gabe.gordon)
• Brittney "Chef Stikxz" Williams (@stikxz)
• Gonzalo Guerrero & Tara Ridgedell of Secret Riso Club (@secret_riso_club)
• Ava María & Anton Bitter of BITTER000000 (@bitter.000000)
  

This season, the group's work will be on display at 135 Spring Street in NYC's SoHo neighborhood. Workshops, pop-ups, cookouts, music events and other programming will be available, as well, and will be open to the public.
