adidas Originals called #thisisme

In China, the idea of its citizens freely expressing themselves is not something that is openly encouraged or promoted. In fact, you could be arrested for speaking your mind. So when adidas Originals wanted to launch a new brand campaign, they knew they had a major challenge. The brand's core essence is all about being individual and expressing your originality, which is the opposite of China's communist beliefs.
