Mercedes and major F1 partner make history with unusual inspiration

Mercedes has drawn on an unusual inspiration for the release of its historic first collection with new partner adidas.

The F1 team and the sportswear giant announced a multi-year agreement at the start of the year. They have waited until the Miami Grand Prix weekend to showcase an innovative range based on a specific aspect of the city's foundations - the iconic mangroves - which are a major part of the landscape and surrounding region.

The collection includes a hero driver’s jersey, loungewear, jacket, t-shirts, adilettes, shorts, and accessories, some of which can be seen below, and are available to purchase immediately via shop.mercedesamgf1.com.

Michael Batz, motorsport category GM at adidas, said: “Miami is one of the most anticipated races on the calendar, a city known for both sport and style, making it the ideal location to debut the first adidas Mercedes race-day collection for summer 2025.

"For this collection, we wanted to capture the essence of Miami in a fresh and unexpected way, brought to life with bold hues and prints which bring a vibrant splash of Miami style to the F1 paddock."

Hailing Mercedes' relationship with adidas as being built on bringing a fresh perspective to F1 and its fanbase, the team's chief commercial officer Richard Sanders said: "Our first race-specific collection delivers on that with its bold design that celebrates the natural roots of Miami.

"Dropping our summer collection at a race that symbolises so much about how our sport and team have grown and reached new audiences in recent years feels appropriate."
