The Need for Speed: Launching adidas’ X Crazyfast football boot

Objective: Design a disruptive product launch activation, boldly showcasing X Crazyfast's unexpected speed.

The world is moving at a faster pace than ever before and the world of football is no exception. The beautiful game is now centered around speed and quickness to win the ball. Players must think fast and react even faster – and for that, they need game-changing performance apparel.

This is where adidas comes in. Pulling consumer’s into a world of unexpected speed from all angles, we created an impactful product launch activation for the brand’s latest X Crazyfast innovation. A football boot that’s light on its feet whilst providing optimal responsiveness. To reflect its unexpected and rapid acceleration, we created a retail marketing activation concept that was as dynamic and responsive as the product itself.

At the heart of our experiential retail marketing design lies the ‘theatre of sport’. A terrace-inspired product display with an apparel rail sitting ‘under the bleachers’. Rhythmic lighting throughout connects the retail activation and keeps the adrenaline pumping. Always in motion from every angle, our experiential marketing activation included a FIFA game zone, footwear try-ons with keepy-uppy challenges and a hero showcase, elevating the product within a trophy cabinet-inspired display. Mirroring pitch-side advertising, our creative brand communication designs wrap the in-store architecture, driving home the launch campaign messaging. Utilising lightweight materials in a crisp white, our retail activation design cuts through the noise – just like the product itself.

Putting Football in Focus: our retail marketing activation design took over adidas’ LDN Flagship in the lead up the Women’s World Cup.
Owning the Field: our dynamic retail marketing activation design dominated the launch zone with an adrenaline-filled atmosphere.
Playing at the highest level: Football is one of the most highly competitive sports in the world. Our product launch activation design amplified hype and desirability for X Crazyfast.
It's in the game: Put your reflexes and skills to the test at the in-store esports tournament. A mixed-reality, gamified product launch competition with the boots as the top prize.
You didn’t see that coming: Our brand communications design agency in London created bespoke Xbox controllers which were raffled off when the retail marketing activation ended.

The next generation of speed in football.
