adidas x Marimekko Fall/Winter 2022

The fourth collection from adidas x Marimekko celebrates the expression and movement of the female form through iconic, rhythmic prints by two beloved Marimekko designers, Maija Isola and Annika Rimala.

The fall/winter 2022 collection, featuring pieces in inclusive sizing, continues to blend Marimekko's art of printmaking with adidas' forerunning innovations to create new and exciting combinations for activewear. ​

The expressive new drop includes a palette of distinctive Marimekko prints attributed to different sports – Gabriel for running, Jenkka and Tundra for training, and Jokeri for sportswear.​

The Maija Isola prints Gabriel, Jenkka, and Tundra originally belonged to a series of prints called Ihminen (human). The series was based on photographs depicting silhouettes of the human body with every unique shape, size, and curved line represented – and the model was the daughter of Maija Isola.

As in the previous collections, the latest drop embodies Marimekko’s and adidas’ shared commitment to implement consciously crafted materials, with key pieces from the collection made in part with recycled materials and pieces made in part with Parley Ocean Plastic, just one of the innovations that represent commitment made by adidas to help end plastic waste.

The new adidas x Marimekko collection is now available only at adidas.com and selected adidas stores and retailers around the world. The collection will not be sold in Marimekko’s own channels.​

The adidas x Marimekko collaboration through the eyes of Satu Maaranen

Ever wondered how Marimekko’s brand collaborations work in practice? Let our Head Designer Satu Maaranen share her story as part of the design team! 

Satu has been working in the adidas x Marimekko collaboration since the beginning. As a part of the cross-company design team, she discusses the collections’ themes, patterns, and the color palette. The highlights so far include the initial face-to-face meeting when Marimekko’s team traveled to the adidas’ headquarters in Germany with a suitcase jam-packed with archive Marimekko dresses, carrying with them a priceless folder of original Unikko (poppy) color samples. The Marimekko and Adidas teams hit it off straight away – like the collaboration was written in the stars!
