Adidas Vintage Club

Michiel Spijkers still life photography for Adidas Vintage Club, featuring vintage sneakers spotlighted among suitcases, a rotary telephone and leather travel bags in a thrift-shop-style scene.

Adidas Vintage Club still life photography reimagines a thrift-store discovery as the campaign's centrepiece, marking the relaunch of Adidas silhouettes from the '80s, '90s and 2000s.

Each still life stages a pair of vintage-era sneakers inside a cluttered secondhand-shop tableau: suitcases, boomboxes, vinyl, sports gear, lit with a dramatic, spotlighted glow that isolates the shoes from the surrounding clutter, like a lucky find catching the light.

About the project

Adidas Vintage Club began as a still life photography brief for the relaunch of Adidas silhouettes from the ‘80s, ‘90s and 2000s. The concept centres on the feeling of finding a genuine hidden gem in a thrift shop, secondhand store or giveaway bin.

Each composition stages that discovery: a pair of vintage-era sneakers surrounded by period-accurate clutter, with dramatic light falling on the shoes and giving them the focus of a lucky find.
