The adidas Originals "Superstar Playground" theme party was spectacularly launched in a warehouse in the Tokyo Bay Area. This event, part of a global campaign for Adidas SUPERSTAR sneakers, featured Pharrell Williams and AMBUSH® founder YOON, who invited numerous guests, fans, and media to participate. The event included a discussion on creativity and art with Mr., one of the designers of the Supershell joint series. Attendees were treated to an exhibition of all Supershell shoes and Tokyo City Superstar-themed murals. The atmosphere was electrified by dynamic music from DJ Daruma and Lucas Valentine. Pharrell, in alignment with the global campaign, nominated five emerging artists whose pursuit of creativity inspires him: Pusha T, VJ Mian, Grigoriy Dobrygin, Smithe, and YOON as his Original Superstars. These five will continue the "Pay it Forward" initiative by nominating their own creative SUPERSTARS in the coming weeks.
To continuously tell the story and activate around one of adidas' most iconic silhouettes, the Superstar. Through a global campaign, we aimed to present our unique perspective on this legendary shoe. This initiative featured a special collaboration with Pharrell Williams as the leading designer and curator. The Shelltoe has become an iconic feature of adidas footwear over the years, maintaining its popularity season after season. Pharrell collaborated with several of his favorite artists worldwide to transform the Shelltoe into the Supershell for the first time. This collaboration included work with renowned architect Zaha Hadid, contemporary artists Mr. (Japan) and Todd James (USA), resulting in the “Artwork Collection” and the “Sculpted Collection.” These collections featured limited-edition designs, including artworks by Todd, Mr., and Pharrell himself, with the Sculpted Collection reimagining these artworks in a 3D moulded form—a first for the Shelltoe design.

The 2014 Art Collection concept was built on the foundation laid in 2013. We collaborated with six global artists, selected not only for their geographical diversity but also for their unique artistic backgrounds. These artists designed six aluminum bottles, each aesthetically pleasing as standalone pieces, cohesive within the 2014 collection, and complementary to the previous year's bottles. This initiative was supported by a comprehensive communication strategy across physical, digital, and social channels. The campaign utilized our own channels, the artists' networks, and generated significant earned media from consumers. Additionally, we responded to exclusive requests from high-profile retailers like Colette in Paris, selling individual bottles for €10 each, compared to a case of 20 bottles priced at around €12.
To build upon the previous year's success, we aimed to continuously extend the Art Collection, further enhancing the brand's perception among existing partners and expanding its reach to new customers and consumers.

Art Collection 2014

Warsteiner has a longstanding association with the art world, beginning with pop art icon Andy Warhol’s silk-screen trilogy featuring the brewery’s signature tulip in 1984. As Warsteiner approaches its 260th anniversary, it aims to celebrate in grand style by inviting a diverse group of artists to reinterpret its packaging. This distinctive trade marketing initiative is designed to enhance both commercial success and brand equity. A collection of six aluminum bottles, offering a more premium feel than traditional glass bottles, serves as a canvas for six artists. The artists were chosen based on their geographical diversity and unique styles, ensuring both individual impact and cohesive unity. This approach subtly integrates global relevance, positioning Warsteiner as a progressive and trendsetting brand. Each bottle is packaged to conceal its design until purchase, creating a collectible element and sparking conversation among consumers. This strategy appeals not only to drinkers but also to art enthusiasts and collectors. Additionally, a limited number of full sets were seeded to key influencers and partners, which supported relationships and enhanced the perception of Warsteiner as more than just a beer.
Develop a concept that drives conversion and elevates the brand across all levels without undermining the established trade add-ons mechanism.

Initiated and architected by Andy Chiu, in collaboration with renowned artist Stefan Strumbel, this project underscores Warsteiner’s dedication to blending tradition with modern artistry. Stefan Strumbel, known for his ties to the Black Forest and collaborations with fashion icons like Karl Lagerfeld, brings his distinctive vision to this partnership. The project’s highlight will be unveiled at ART KARLSRUHE from March 7-10 in Karlsruhe, Germany. It features a skywalker helium installation and a special commemorative booklet. As a tribute to Warsteiner’s 260th anniversary, a limited edition pack, with only 260 instances, will be distributed during the event. This collaboration not only celebrates Warsteiner’s rich heritage but also cements its presence in the contemporary art world, showcasing the brand's innovative spirit and commitment to cultural engagement.

The solution was a sleek, matte black beer can adorned with the ROCK AM RING logo and the festival lineup on the back, presented in a balanced and aesthetically pleasing manner with a clear indication of the year.
Through thorough analysis and observation, I noticed that festival-goers cherished and collected memorabilia, including wristbands from each year. I aimed to create something that met their needs—functional yet aesthetically pleasing and authentic.

Through my personal network, I obtained detailed information about the release of the Nike Yeezy 2, including timings, colorways, volumes, and anticipated reach. Inspired by the launch colorways, we designed two beer cans that perfectly matched the shoes. I added a playful detail, transforming the iconic phrase from the hit song on the joint album "Watch the Throne," "THAT SH*T CRAY," into "THAT BEER CRAY," along with the specific release date: 09.06.2012. As anticipated, enthusiasts began camping outside the stores 2-3 weeks prior to the launch to secure a pair of the coveted shoes. In collaboration with the stores, we distributed these themed beer cans each night, becoming the unofficial partners and partners in crime for such an extraordinary experience.
