Celebrating adidas ‘ORIGINALS’ With Leeds Caribbean & African Community Centre Launch Event – 23.08.24
We gave the world an original, you gave us a thousand back.
HIP & adidas Originals would like to invite you as a guest to celebrate the Leeds Caribbean & African Community Centre as ‘ORIGINALS’ as we come together on Friday 23rd August at the Centre.
The Caribbean & African Community Centre is a proud figure of Leeds’ cultural architecture. A cornerstone of community in Chapeltown since 1983 and a shining light of art, music and education. The Centre has legendary status as a venue, from the early soundsystem dances in the ’80s to representing a home of dubstep, dancehall and jungle with the famous SubDub event that began in ’98. The Centre is closely linked to the Leeds West Indian Carnival – founded by Arthur France MBE in 1967, uniting people of all races to celebrate Caribbean culture. Another key figure in the Chapeltown community is Claude Hendrickson MBE – inspiring the city with his work across regeneration, housing, education, youth clubs and youth mentoring.
Friday 23rd August, 7pm-12pm midnight
Open invite – free entry

Clarks Originals Craft James Loafer
Clarks Originals step out of their usual territory, adding the Craft James Loafer to its collection of heritage-infused footwear. The style is an elegant take on the silhouette, crafted using rich leather uppers and a tough, Italian-made outsole.
We have three colourways now available online and at HIP Leeds & Manchester.
Dr. Martens Lowell
The Lowell is a leisure and workwear-inspired shoe that is beautifully timeless but contemporary at the same time. The model can mould to just about any outfit – something universally loved about Dr. Martens – with this design featuring neutral shades and premium suede.
Find the Dr. Martens Lowell online and at HIP Leeds & Manchester.
adidas Originals Japan
The adidas Originals Japan is a lesser-known gem that was created for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, making a welcome return 60 years on. The shoe is crafted with a buttery-spft kangaroo leather for an elevated three stripe feel that harks back to the OG ’60s design.
Find the model online and at HIP Leeds & Manchester.
