Very sporty. Very soccer Bob.
The adidas x Bob Marley Foundation collection draws from archival outfits, photographs, and iconography from Bob Marley’s life, music, and heritage, reimagining pieces like the lilac Firebird track pants he wore on tour. Design motifs throughout the eight-piece capsule, including a flowing wave pattern, symbolize the rhythm of his music and the spirit of Jamaica, while the mantra “Football is Freedom” celebrates his love for the game as a tool of liberation. Each item features distinctive ‘Bob’ calligraphy paired with the adidas Originals trefoil, uniting football, music, and Marley’s cultural legacy in wearable form.
If you see any picture of Bob Marley with shoes on, there’s a very good chance the shoes he’s wearing are adidas. Remember dem times deh — track suit and crep was a big ting.

“Football is freedom.” — Bob Marley
Adidas decided to honor this archive of photos, and the reggae icon’s love for football. The adidas x Bob Marley collection draws on Marley’s image and symbolic “One Love” message as well as his Rastafarian faith.
