adidas continues to explore the intersection of cultural influence and sport with a new capsule collection created in partnership with the Bob Marley Foundation, celebrating the reggae icon’s enduring relationship with football and his unmistakable sense of personal style.

Titled “Football is Freedom,” the eight-piece collection draws directly from archival imagery and wardrobe references from Marley’s life, translating his relaxed, sport-inflected aesthetic into contemporary streetwear. The result feels less like a nostalgic tribute and more like a continuation, an acknowledgement of how seamlessly Marley moved between music, fashion and everyday sport.

Colour plays a central role. Vibrant shades of blue, green, red and yellow, inspired by Jamaica’s visual identity, run throughout the collection, while a recurring wave motif threads across jerseys, tees and shorts, quietly linking each piece together. The graphics remain intentional rather than overwhelming, allowing symbolism to lead without excess.

A standout arrives in the form of a colour-blocked tracksuit, where an emerald green jacket is paired with contrasting purple trousers. Across the back, the phrase “Football Freedom” appears an understated nod to Marley’s belief in sport as a language of liberation and unity.

Details across the capsule remain deliberately restrained: the adidas Originals Trefoil sits alongside subtle “Bob” embroidery on hems and chest prints, while a retro-inspired bowler bag featuring a “Football is Freedom” patch completes the offering with a touch of heritage athletic nostalgia.

Now available via the adidas website and select retailers, the collection positions Marley not simply as a musical icon, but as a cultural figure whose influence continues to shape how sport, identity and style move together naturally, effortlessly, and without boundaries.
