Adidas: World Cup Ball Campaign

Nov 2025

Adidas introduces the World Cup Ball Campaign, a series of dynamic portraits and action-oriented images captured by photographer Niall Hodson. The campaign highlights the intersection of sportswear and football culture through a series of studio-based shots. Utilizing analogue film, the work features a range of subjects, including footballer Casemiro, positioned against textured, vibrant backdrops. The execution channels a blend of commercial and editorial aesthetics, incorporating techniques such as motion blur, long exposure, and grainy textures to emphasize athletic movement. Across the campaign, the focus remains on the interplay between classic three-stripe apparel and the colorful design of the tournament match ball.
