The Olympic games are just around the corner but while the world anticipates it’s arrival I simply await the arrival of the different apparel collections that will be conjured up as a result of its presence. Adidas have been sponsoring Team GB since 1984 however its 2012 that i’m more concerned with. Peep this new Tailored Team GB Sport Collection. The collection includes outerwear, fleece, polos, shorts and more, the offer comes mostly in the colours of Team GB’s red, white and blue and adorned with the adidas Originals Trefoil. The collection will be hitting the shelves of Adidas Orignals retailers soon.

*sidenote* I’m in France on holiday yet I all I wanna do I blog, dedication :)

Photographers of the world this one is for you. If you’re a snap happy person much like our very own Yin then why not enter the Adidas ’Take The Stage‘ competition. The task is to submit one horizontal picture of anything that you desire, it doesn’t have to be a new pic it can be one taken a while ago that you’re very proud of. Having submitted your picture your task then is to get as many people you know to vote for it. The 10 entries with the most vote will then be judged by Adidas and David Beckham where they will chose their favourite with the winner getting the opportunity to join Beckham on the set of a photoshoot. Does this appeal to you? For more info watch the TV advert on the flipside and/or head over to the Adidas website.

Adidas:

Pick a shot with heart and soul that shows why you are unique and deserve this amazing opportunity. Please note that all images need to be horizontal only. Once your photo is uploaded you need to ensure that you are one of the top entrants, get people to vote for you and ensure you are in the top 10 most liked photo’s.

After you have submitted your entry, adidas will need to look at what you have submitted and make sure that it is ok to be shared with others. At certain times this might take a while due to the number of entries, please bear with us during this time.

How many of you made a conscious decision to exercise more this year? Running it seems has never been so popular. I recently challenged myself to run (jog) a mile a day to get my lazy ass into the routine of it. If at the end of a week I’ve managed to run seven miles, that’s seven miles more than usual! Baby steps!

We all have a different reason to run. Watch David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Derrick Rose and Katy Perry go all in on their run. Whatever the reason, wherever you are, go farther and enjoy every stride.

The music in the campaign video is the Jacques Lu Cont’s White Duke Remix of the just released ‘Part of Me’ by Katy.

Y&Y is going to Mexico! Arriba! Thanks to the good people over at WeAreSocial, and our own Jazz, today I’ll be flying out to Mexico City to take part in the Adidas Training Academy. Uh-mazing!! Over the next five days I’ll be participating in boxing inspired training, and yoga and dance classes, all of which will be led by a internationally recognised trainer. Adidas want to enable and inspire us to achieve our personal goals in sport through training by supporting us with innovative products, services and athlete insights. With the London Olympics just around the corner, this year is huge for sport and more and more people are appreciating how important it is to lead an active lifestyle. I’m excited to see what Adidas have to bring to the table. Check back next week to find out how the trip went and what I got up to whilst out there!

As some of you may or may not know, the Australian Open began last week. I’ve been keeping up to date with the tournament on twitter, and have to say that the #AusOpen is without question the most fan orientated slam. Wimbledon take note.

In Adidas Tennis’ second “The Game Is The Game” challenge, Caroline Wozniacki, Jo Tsonga, Ana Ivanovic and Gilles Simon showed their skills in a Stické Tennis match ahead of the 2012 Australian Open. This British sport, invented in the late 19th century, is played in an enclosed court. This allows the ball to bounce on walls as well as the ground. However the location, one of Melbourne’s coolest graffiti laneways, did not look 19th century at all. Watch the video after the jump.

Having brought you the Adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott collection not to long ago it’s only right that I post the shoes which is set to compliment that collection. I’m going to start off by saying the sandal/trainer things (yes i said things) what ever they are, they have GOT TO GO. If I were bare foot walking on glass and stone and someone offered me those “shoes” i’d turn them down, disgusting! The rest of the collection isn’t too bad but i’ll let you guy make your own minds up. Take a look and share your thoughts. P.S the collection is set to hit stores in February/March, so not too long to wait.

Here we have a look into the crazy world that is Adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott. Jeremy Scott has made a reputation for himself for bringing wacky designs to the table and with his latest collaboration with Adidas Originals there are no signs of his straying from this wacky formula. As with most of his collections with Adidas, i can’t see myself wearing every item however there are one or two pieces that I can rock with i.e. the white musical note tracksuit. Have a gander and let me know what you think.

Before starting university I was a full time tennis professional. Tennis was my life entirely until I was seventeen. It seems a lifetime ago now! So I guess it was no surprise when Niran asked me to write up on this video from Adidas! The event – which was filmed to promote the release of the new adiPower Barricade 7.0 tennis shoe – marks the start of a year long campaign by Adidas called “The Game is the Game“, which will challenge some of the world’s best tennis players at a series of tennis based games around some of the major tournaments of 2012. Check out the video after the cut!

In the first event of Adidas Tennis’ “The Game is the Game” series, Andy Murray, the British No 1 and the World Number 4 tennis player, was given a challenge by his sponsors to learn Road Tennis, a street sport that originated out of Barbados, where it’s played all over the island. A cross between traditional tennis and table tennis, players chalk out a court on the street and then have a moveable net, which they can move if they need to pack quickly.

Murray was given just an hour to learn the ins and outs of the sport – by practicing against David Haye, the former World Champion British boxer, and music artist Example – before he took on Lama, the world’s best player. Check out the video above to see how Murray got on!
