adidas uses iOS technology to give away their newest collab with Donald Glover at Coachella
Selected festival attendees with iPhones were surprised with an ‘Airdrop’ photo of Donald Glover’s (aka Childish Gambino) new shoes he created in collaboration with adidas.
Anyone who received the photo and accepted were directed to a specific location in the festival, where they could claim their shoes.
The only catch was that they had to sign a contract to state that they would attend Childish Gambino’s set and wear the shoes all weekend.
This is extremely interesting and an innovative form of experiential that utilises existing technology in order to target the right audience.
