adidas collaborates with Kurasu to launch The Originals Lounge
What’s the festive season without some shopping and Christmassy treats? This year, you can enjoy both at The Originals Lounge—an exclusive pop-up by adidas and Japanese specialty coffee artisan, Kurasu. It’s time for you to cop a pair of spanking new sneakers for the new year and try out exclusive drinks at this pop-up, happening from 14 to 22 December at Kurasu’s flagship outlet at Waterloo Street.
What to expect at The Originals Lounge
From a variety of classic yet trendy sneakers to exclusive Christmassy drinks to help you soak up all the festive vibes, here’s what you can look forward to on your visit to The Originals Lounge:
This pop-up will spotlight 3 of adidas’ Low-Profile styles, featuring silhouettes like Taekwondo, Japan, and Tokyo.
L-R: Tokyo Shoes, Japan Shoes
First released in the ‘60s and early 2000s, this trio was originally designed as sporting shoes to support everything from walking and running to taekwondo. adidas has since reworked and reintroduced these iconic styles, ensuring they stay on-trend while retaining their classic vintage vibe.
Taekwondo Lace Shoes in Cloud White & Silver Metallic
Our pick has to be the Taekwondo Lace Shoes in Cloud White & Silver Metalic, thanks to the sneakers’ edgy vibe, offset by ribbons that are a little coquette-core touch.

While Kurasu is known for their minimalist and cosy ambience, get ready to experience a blast from the past as the cafe transforms into a retro space for the pop-up. You’ll find everything from adidas-themed cassette tapes to a full performance set, equipped with a guitar, a mic stand, and even an amp. And of course, there’ll be displays of the 3 iconic sneakers in various colours and styles for you to explore.
As you try on adidas’ impressive new offerings, don’t forget to explore what Kurasu has to offer as well. Originating from Kyoto, Kurasu opened their Singapore flagship store at Waterloo Street in 2020, bringing the same lineup of specialty coffee as their various branches in Kyoto.
If you’re looking to get into the Christmas spirit, the adidas x Kurasu Festive Drink is a must-try. Priced at $8.50, this pop-up-exclusive drink is made of sticky date eggnog, topped with whipped cream, ginger marshmallows, and a crunch trefoil shortbread. If this drink doesn’t scream “Christmas”, we don’t know what will!
adiClubSG members can redeem this festive drink for 600 points on their adidas app.
Those who are not already members, don’t FOMO. You can still enjoy 20% off any of their drinks by showing up in any adidas Originals sneakers. You’ll also be glad to know that their promotion is also available at their Orchard outlet.
Made For You Shoe Bar
If you want to add some customisation fun to your festive itinerary, adidas is offering complimentary customisation at their Made For Your Shoe Bar with the purchase of any of their Low Profile silhouettes, online or in-store. From shoe charms to ribbons, there’s something for everyone.
Mark your calendars as this experience will only be available at adidas Brand Centre Orchard or adidas VivoCity Performance Shoe Bar for 2 weekends: 14 and 15, and 21 and 21 December 2024. To redeem, simply show proof of purchase for any of the 3 sneakers to unlock this DIY experience.
Visit The Originals Lounge at Waterloo Street from 14 December to 22 December
It seems like adidas has a knack for reworking and bringing back their classic styles for their modern consumers. From the TikTok-viral comeback of the Sambas to the remake of the iconic Low Profile trio, adidas appears to be on a mission to deliver the It shoe for every season.
