adidas Originals, a global brand rooted in local culture, announces its first-ever India co-created sneaker with brand ambassador Ranveer Singh.

A defining moment for the brand in India, the drop brings a distinctly Indian voice to one of its most iconic silhouettes, the Adidas Superstar, reimagined through Ranveer Singh’s personal lens of expression and identity.

Recognised as a generational performer in Indian cinema, Ranveer Singh brings his era defining dynamism to this collaboration. This edition of the ‘Superstar’ embodies the reflection of his persona – fearless and expressive. Every element of this design is layered with meaning. Drawing inspiration from his spirit animal, the Royal Bengal Tiger, the design channels instinct, power and individuality. A bold black-and-white anchors the silhouette, elevated with tiger-inspired detailing across the signature three stripes, a bespoke ‘Ranveer Singh’ insignia, and jewel-like accents that introduce depth, texture and dramatic intensity.

More than a design collaboration, this release of adidas Originals’ first hyperlocal statement from India, positioning the country at the forefront of global sneaker culture.

Unleash the Original — The Ranveer Singh Superstar

The sneaker is introduced through a visually arresting campaign set within an urban jungle, an evocative world where instinct meets expression. At its centre is Ranveer Singh, with a presence that is both raw and controlled. The narrative explores dualities – precision and chaos, restraint and freedom, mirroring the spirit of the tiger and the essence of originality.

This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for adidas Originals in India, reinforcing the Superstar’s enduring legacy while firmly placing Indian creativity within the global conversation.

Speaking on this collaboration, Bhawna Sikka, Sr. Brand Director, adidas India, says “We are proud to unveil the adidas Originals Ranveer Singh Superstar, a landmark moment for the brand in India.  For over 50 years, the Superstar has stood as a symbol of originality across generations.  This first co-created drop from India reinforces its place at the heart of global sneaker culture, while highlighting India’s growing influence in shaping what comes next. Our decade-long partnership with Ranveer Singh makes this moment even more meaningful as he becomes the first collaborator from India to reinterpret this iconic silhouette.”

Reflecting on the collaboration, Ranveer Singh shared, “The Superstar has always been a part of my journey. From my first pair in college to co-creating my own today, this feels like a full circle moment. This design is an extension of who I am. The Royal Bengal tiger, my spirit animal, represents a raw, instinctive energy that felt natural to bring into the design. ‘Unleash the Original’ is something I deeply believe in, owning who you are. I am excited to share my take on this iconic silhouette with the community and be part of a legacy that continues to inspire originals around the world.”
