The adidas x Bob Marley collection was crafted in close collaboration with The Bob Marley Foundation who provided careful consultation, archival photographs, and historical clothing synonymous with the musician -- including the lilac firebird track pants worn whilst touring Europe, reimagined for this collection.
Powerful design motifs that draw inspiration from Bob Marley’s life and extensive music catalogue are featured throughout. This includes a distinctive, repetitive wave pattern that flows across the designs – symbolically linking the rhythm of his music and the spirit of Jamaica.
“Football is Freedom,” a mantra developed closely with the Bob Marley Foundation, is integrated into hero pieces such as the golden yellow jersey and full-zip jacket, integrating his deep love of the game and belief in its liberating power.
Each piece is bound via the adidas Originals’ trefoil that sits on opposing sides to the word ‘Bob’ embroidered in a calligraphy style.
Standout pieces from the collection include:
‘Football Freedom’ Jersey: Designed in the yellow of the national flag’s saltire, the base of this jersey is engineered with a flowing wave motif combined with the ‘MARLEY’ name. A ‘Football is Freedom’ graphic in yellow and emerald green completes the front of the jersey’s design.
Full-Zip Track Jacket and Trackpants: Blending classic athletic style and contemporary fashion, the jacket hosts the same bold ‘Football Freedom’ graphic across the back panel. The full-zip track jacket comes in emerald green and is paired with purple trackpants.
Dress, T-shirt, Shorts and Accessories: The collection also includes a dress and short sleeve T-shirt striped in the colours of green, gold and red alongside wave patterned red shorts, two iterations of crew socks and a unique adidas bowler bag in brown and white.
Sam Handy, GM at adidas Football, said:“Bob Marley’s legacy is full of so much inspiration – but to bring it to life through this collection, we worked through old photographs and clothing from his tour days with the Bob Marley Foundation. It was an incredible privilege, and ultimately, inspired us to build an apparel range that celebrate his music, love of football, and the spirit of Jamaica.”
Cedella Marley, CEO at The Bob Marley Foundation, said: “This is more than just a partnership to us, it’s a landmark moment which signifies unity, inspiration and the spirit of Bob Marley on the global stage. His unwavering belief in the power of our people lives on and through this collection, the fans can carry the pride of Jamaica.”
The collection pays homage to the legacy of one of music’s greatest icons while celebrating The Bob Marley Foundation and its positive impact for under-served and vulnerable communities in Jamaica. The foundation has been extensively involved in serving those most heavily impacted by Hurricane Melissa, a relief effort which adidas has supplemented via donations, as the long-term effects continue to be felt.
The adidas x Bob Marley collection will be available to purchase from 6th February 2026 via adidas.com and select retail stores.
