Retail Gazette Loves: Adidas’ newest campaign starring Beyoncé & other stars


Last week, Adidas launched Impossible is Nothing, a new global film series starring a host of famous faces, including Beyoncé, Paul Pogba and Tifanny Abreu, the first trans woman to play in the Brazilian Volleyball Superliga.

In a statement, Adidas said that the campaign was “about rebellious optimism, rooted in the purpose from Adidas in the power of sports to change lives”.

The home footage documentary series also provided “a previously unseen side to some of the most documented individuals in the world, enabled via a powerful narrative delivered by friends or fellow athletes, and animated via resurfaced footage from the archives”.


Several of the films explore the topic of innovative design – reimagining what a world-record beating distance shoe could be with the Adizero Adios Pro, or how to help end plastic waste in collaboration with Parley TV chief executive Cyrill Gutsch.

The sportswear retailer added that Beyoncé “saw the possibilities of inviting all of us to find our voice. To use her platform as a stage to celebrate our differences with all people”.


Other stars of the campaign include Siya Kolisi, the first Black captain of the South African rugby team, who “saw the possibilities to lead his nation to victory at the 2019 World Cup, securing a win that stretched beyond the rugby pitch of Japan and touched the lives — and hearts — of all fellow South Africans”.


“Impossible is Nothing is more than a campaign – it’s our attitude,” Adidas executive board member Brian Grevy said.

“Seeing possibilities with optimism is key to achieving our purpose of changing lives through the power of sport.

“This attitude is what inspires us every day and is pushing us to build the future. Seeing possibilities is for everyone who wants to create a better tomorrow for all people.”

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
