Championing Local Creativity
As the first Home of Sport concept store in Malaysia, adidas worked with two local female artists for exclusive localisation pieces for the store by honouring the celebration women that could bring out their best to the store through the form of art. Taking in the ingenuity for their artistic talent to create pieces that are inspired by the culture of Malaysia and adidas, Hanisah and Syikin were the artists that resonated with the brand the most.
Hanisah Johari – Woven Piece
Hanisah’s constant work is an exploration of texture, dimensions and scale in which traditional hand techniques such as knotting, hooking, and weaving, are applied to create expressive and fluid forms. Her interest in creating macramé decor and furniture is sustained by the versatility in design and skill sets that seem endless.
Immediately upon entering, consumers were welcomed by Hanisah Johari’s woven piece, she was given textiles from deadstock adidas products such as apparels, sports bras and shoes, to unleash her creativity in creating the exclusive woven piece. Employing traditional weaving methods popularised by women; each twine, stitch and colour depicts the vibrant street of Brickfields Little India, interwoven with sports-inspired elements paying homage to pitch lines as well as geometries.
Syikin Abdullah – Mural Art
As they shop, consumers also discover four art pieces within the store, two distinct art pieces within the women and men’s fitting rooms and two hand painted pillars by Syikin Abdullah. Inspired by the motion and power behind adidas’ tagline of Impossible is Nothing, her artworks take inspiration from track lines and motions of key sports synonymous with adidas. Depicting sports women and men in their element, each character shows a different range of movement and performance. Syikin subtly calls back to her Malaysian roots with the incorporation of bold red hibiscus and native plants such as pothos and begonias.
The ‘Bunga Raya’
In conjunction with the launch of Malaysia’s first Home of Sports concept store, adidas also debuted the Bunga Raya Key City Tee. Designed around the national Hibiscus flower; the Bunga Raya, a symbol of the country’s strength and values, consumers who purchase a minimum of RM400 worth of adidas products from 14th September to 5th October 2023 can also redeem a complimentary, matching Bunga Raya tote bag while stocks last. adiClub Members can also look forward to Bunga Raya themed and merchandise that are handed out in-stores.
