Being an icon is being original. Being original is setting the trend and leaving a legacy. Ask the people behind adidas and they know what it’s all about.

 

For the past 40 years, adidas has been connecting everyone from fashion to music to sports and has become an iconic brand across different interests. This year, adidas invites everyone to celebrate originality with the launch of the adidas Originals “Leave a Legacy” campaign.

 

“We will be kicking off the adidas Originals “Leave a Legacy” campaign in a Sunset BBQ party at the Skye Lounge this May 12 with our global brand ambassador, DJ Neil Armstrong” says Jason Gervasio, adidas Philippines Brand Communications & Sports Marketing Manager.

 

DJ Neil Armstrong has made waves in the music industry by being Jay-Z’s tour DJ and sharing the stage with the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce, Kanye West, P. Diddy and Linkin Park. He’s also the founding father of the DJ Collective: the “5th Platoon”. Over the last 9 years, he’s become an icon in the sub-genre of Hip-Hop known as “Mixtape Culture” and has worked closely with Hip-Hop artists like De La Soul, The Roots, Company Flow and Biz Markie, to Kanye West, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes and Wyclef Jean. His mixtapes represent DJ Neil’s unique music taste and have been featured in the press, most notably by Rolling Stones, Vibe and MTV.com.

 

“The adidas Originals party with DJ Neil will bring together local sports, fashion, music and showbiz icons, to celebrate originality and individuality,” Gervasio shares. “But that’s just the start. During the May 12 party, we will be launching a Facebook platform that allows today’s youth to express and share their originality. It’s their chance to leave a legacy of originality.”

 

The application is fairly simple. Gear up in adidas Originals apparel then snap a picture of yourself in your most original street style. Share the photo on the site and ask your friends to vote for you. The top 10 photos with the most votes will each win Php 50,000 worth of adidas products.

“Gary V : On Higher Ground” has four more shows on April 26, 27. May 9 and 10 at the Music Museum.

The previous shows were considered a success for Manila Genesis Entertainment and Management. On a pocket press-con held yesterday Angeli Pangilinan, Paolo Valenciano, Quest, Juan Miguel Salvador and Kim Jones were all present to share the good news and updates about the concert.

“Every show we’ve been adding” said co-director Paolo Valenciano. His showcased talent on directing the show received a lot of positive reviews and created a buzz from fans and music enthusiasts. The “video mapping” technique he used during the show is the latest technology ever used by a local solo performer here in the country.

ETC reporter Kim Jones is the newest addition to Manila Genesis and she will have a special participation for the rest of the show. When asked what would it be she said “Im not going to sing but it’s SUPER!

The number where you can see Quest performs is one of the most important part of the show that is why you need to be early when you watch the concert. Gary V always mentions on twitter not be late. It is truly a must that you all watch the opening.

Among others, Juan Miguel Salvador is the most seasoned of all Gary’s guest artists. He shows his expertise and mastery of his craft as a musician in every number as lead keyboardist of the series. His number with Gary V is definitely a must see performance that shouldn’t be missed.
