BLACKPINK’s JENNIE Teams Up with adidas Originals for a New Collaboration
BLACKPINK's JENNIE is teaming up with adidas Originals for a new collaborative collection, bringing her personal style into the design of the brand's iconic footwear.
The collaboration was teased in August 2026 through new campaign imagery, with the first products expected to launch on September 1, 2026.
JENNIE and adidas Originals Reveal a New Collaboration
The upcoming project marks a new step in JENNIE's relationship with adidas.
While JENNIE has previously appeared in adidas campaigns, including campaigns centered around the Superstar, this project moves beyond her role as a campaign face and into a co-created product collaboration. Recent reports describe the upcoming collection as JENNIE's first adidas capsule.
adidas has also continued to feature JENNIE prominently through its official Originals platform, where she is listed alongside other figures associated with the brand's Originals lineup.
JENNIE Puts a New Twist on the Superstar
The first revealed product from the collaboration is the JENNIE x adidas Originals Superstar Square Ballet.
The design reinterprets the classic Superstar silhouette with details inspired by ballet footwear.
Key design elements include:
- A square-shaped shell toe
- A laceless construction
- An elastic strap to secure the foot
- Ballet-inspired styling
- The traditional adidas Three Stripes
- Co-branded JENNIE and Trefoil details on the insole
The shoe is currently shown in two colorways, one in a predominantly white-and-black combination and another in black-and-white.
Two Colorways Are Expected
The two currently revealed versions are:
- Off White / Core Black / Core White — SKU LB3786
- Core Black / Core Black / Off White — SKU LB3787
Both versions are expected to retail for US$150 and are scheduled for release on September 1, 2026, according to current release information.
Because the official adidas product release information may vary by market, international customers should check their local adidas website for final availability and pricing.
A Ballet-Inspired Direction
The collaboration takes inspiration from dance and ballet, an idea that was also introduced through the project's teaser campaign.
The campaign imagery places JENNIE in a styling that combines sportswear with ballet-inspired fashion, reflecting the contrast between adidas Originals' athletic heritage and JENNIE's fashion-focused aesthetic.
The direction also connects naturally with the Superstar, one of adidas Originals' most recognizable silhouettes.
JENNIE’s Relationship with adidas
JENNIE has worked with adidas on previous campaigns, particularly around the Superstar.
adidas' official Originals platform currently features JENNIE as one of its key icons and describes her as a music and fashion icon. The brand's Superstar campaign has previously included JENNIE alongside other cultural figures.
The new collaboration represents a further development of that relationship, with JENNIE moving into product design rather than simply appearing in an advertising campaign.
