Adidas AR Experience
Watermark Creative was one of the teams working on AR exhibits for the Sneaker Hub show, which featured a number of high-end shoe and fashion brands including Nike, Puma, New Balance, and Adidas to name a few.
We were tasked with developing a collection of AR experiences for a range of 5 Adidas sneakers, which explored the design story behind each shoe in an engaging visual experience, and within a general 'Neo-Tokyo' theme.
Supercourt
Supercourt is a shoe for the urban environment, pristine in contrast to the streets around it. A strong element of the design is the idea that the shoe can endure harsh treatment and immediately be cleaned to restore the original crisp white.
To tell the story, we developed an animated cityscape inspired by the Tokyo of Akira. Using some crafty shader effects, as the shoe animates it paints the town in a multitude of colours before a rainstorm cleans everything back to white.
Night Jogger
With a reflective nighttime theme, the Night Jogger was placed in its natural element.
We played up the idea of a run through nocturnal streets, headphones in, light streaking past the viewer.​​​​​​​
Ultraboost
The Ultraboost is a performance running shoe with crossover appeal. As a return to the deep black and purple colourway, we chose ferrofluids as a complementary high-tech visual element.
The fluid effects in this activation are all shader driven, and truly responding to dynamic elements in the scene to really sell the magnetism of the shoe.
Stan Smith
As a reissue of the 1972 classic, the Stan Smith activation played up classic tennis imagery. Some clever implementation of realtime physics provided an element of unexpected punchiness.
Ozweego
The Ozweego reinterprets elements from futuristic sneakers of the 90s. From this starting point, the experience took a similar retro-futuristic approach, considering an aesthetic of the future that never quite was. 
The primary effects were primarily driven by an array of particles, responsive to other elements in the scene. The visual energy of the shoe was therefore made tangible in a highly dynamic way.
