Porsche Design Sport by Adidas Spring/Summer ladies’ collection

Bayern Munich midfielder and long-time brand ambassador Xabi Alonso reveals why he loves to wear the Spring/Summer 2017 collection.

The intimate campaign follows Xabi across various locations in Munich as he trains, commutes and relaxes at home with his wife as the campaign provides a rare glimpse into a more intimate side of Xabi as he invites the cameras into his inner sanctum and home life with his actress wife, Nagore Aranburu, at his side throughout.

To support the collection’s seasonal theme of Urban Commuting, the campaign follows Xabi through a typical day, from driving to training, running with his wife, cycling leisurely to see friends, relaxing at home and finally, to stepping out to dinner at the end of the day.

Throughout each context, the Porsche Design Sport by Adidas collection provides stylish, functional and innovative solutions to a range of weather conditions and activities and showcases the versatility of each piece.
