Since 1949,  Adidas has championed Originals, celebrating the people who create, express, and shape culture.  A symbol for those who never follow, but dare to go their own way. Since 1886, Coca-Cola has stood for The Real Thing. In a world full of imitations, it’s more than a drink; it’s a symbol of authenticity and an invitation to be genuine.

Two iconic brands in two completely different lanes, each blazing their own timeless legacy.  But underneath it all, they’re powered by the same truth: authenticity.

For the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Adidas x Coca-Cola designed a collection that showcases how being Original is the most Real thing you can be. To bring that spirit to life, we gathered real football fans to wear the collection as they wait to head to the first game of the tournament in Mexico City, a journey that blends people from all over to come together.


 We first teased the collection with the help of a true Original: Lamine Yamal.



Then, ahead of the opening match in Mexico City, the campaign came to life with the launch of the film, photography, and collection, worn and styled by the Real Originals.
