adidas ORIGINALS x OASIS.
The Brand. The Band
The Legacy Lives On.
Original Forever.
And Mr Sifter, the legend.
It’s less than one week until I go to see Oasis with my son William, like all fans I’m beyond excited to share this experience with my son.
As a music fan, and a brand enthusiast I love this brand partnership. I’ve got a huge appreciation for the brand history behind Oasis x adidas originals, the design and marketing of this collaboration – so of course being a bit brand obsessed – it is my job!
I’ve had to go and look at it – is there a bigger cultural moment in 2025 or beyond than the Oasis Reunion.
So what’s the brand impact?
adidas were not slow with this epic commercial opportunity.
For Oasis fans, their return to stage is deafening. For original fans, it is a pure jolt of 90’s joy. For a new generation like my son William it’s a chance to witness a band whose mythology has outgrown its initial phase of hedonism and working class rebellion, evolving into a more mature and nostalgic reflection of their cultural impact.
For adidas, their bottom line will be doing a happy bounce ! A whole new generation enthralled with the story, products and all.
For me and my William, Oasis reunion is more than the concert, it is thier enduring brand and cultural heritage that’s created emotional connections for us, like our road trip to visit Mr Sifter – who had all the time to chat to William about Liam and Noel. Will and I listening to all the albums, ‘him asking me so many questions, like “what was it like in the 90’s era “ Brilliant 🤩 was my reply, to ordering our bucket hats, little connecting moments that make memories.
If you’re seeing Oasis have a brilliant time. I’m at Murrayfield the gig is set to be the biggest gig in Scottish history. The attendance of all of Oasis gigs is estimated to have injected at least £1billion to the UK economy.
Not bad for two lads who came from a council estate.
