adidas Originals and Studio 88 gave Johannesburg somewhere to shop and hang out over the weekend with Star Mart, a pop-up at 39 Stanley Avenue in Braamfontein. Running alongside the Originals Studio workshops on 7 and 8 November, the space welcomed everyone, including those who had missed out on workshop places.
Visitors could shop new colourways of the adistar XLG alongside the Control 5, with both models drawing from adidas running designs of the 2000s. The adisignature clothing range was available, giving shoppers pieces to pair with their footwear picks.
Okay Wasabi took on the manager role, while presenter and creator Violy Nyama was named employee of the month.
Doowap was booked for Saturday afternoon, while Que DJ took the Sunday shift.
Then there was the ice cream. Star Mart offered three limited-edition flavours, with complimentary scoops promoted through emailed vouchers. It was another reason to stop by, especially for anyone who wanted to join the weekend without attending a workshop.
Around the creative sessions, Star Mart gave Johannesburg’s fashion and music communities a meeting spot. You could browse the rails, check out the sneakers, or spend time with the hosts. For visitors, that meant a way into Originals Studio without needing a workshop seat, with shopping and music on the same programme.
