adiVan portable store

The Cape Town winter weather decided to test adidas’ new adiVan by throwing cold and rain at it and seeing how it held out. True to form, adidas’ van and portable store, showcasing their technical running range, proved more than a match and attracted sponsored athletes, adidas staff and guests to its launch.
