Alastair Philip Wiper goes behind the scenes at Adidas for new photography series
These new images by British photographer Alastair Philip Wiper reveal the headquarters, research departments and factories where Adidas creates its wide range of trainers.
Wiper visited a range of Adidas' locations, including the headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany, where new materials and concepts are tested, a factory in Indonesia where products are manufactured, and a location in Bavaria where customised shoes are made.
His aim was to show the processes that goes into making the brand's best-known shoes, including Superstars and Stan Smiths.
"Adidas is such an iconic brand, so having the chance to visit the place where it all started and see the way they work was very interesting for me," the photographer told Dezeen.
"I visited a factory in Indonesia where over 100,000 workers churn out 75,000 pairs of shoes per day, and I visited the Speedfactory in Bavaria where customised shoes can be produced from raw materials within a day, and which Adidas sees as the future of its production," he continued.
"I also visited Adidas' headquarters in Herzogenaurach, where new materials and concepts are tested by robots and athletes covered in sensors, and where skilled cobblers hand make prototypes of new shoes."
His photography series, called Inside Adidas, features a range of different shots.
They range from wide-angle views of the factory in Indonesia, where rows of sewing machines and factory workers create a field of colour, to close...
