adidas and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team reveal the Vanda Bloom Collection, a capsule designed to bring the vibrant spirit of Singapore to one of the sport’s most iconic night races. Inspired by the Vanda Miss Joaquim orchid, the national flower of Singapore and a symbol of the country’s resilience and multi-cultural heritage, the collection celebrates the unique energy of the city-state ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix. Rooted in the orchid’s distinctive pink and purple palette, the collection reinterprets floral motifs with a subtle graphic that honours the national flower. Notably, the authentic driver’s jersey features the blooming orchid, set against a purple base with white tonal detailing across the logos.
Across each piece of the capsule including driver’s caps, shorts, tees, fanwear apparel and accessories, the team’s signature teal accents are etched into the shoulders, collar and cuffs. This combines with the flower’s colors to deliver a bold visual identity to the paddock – combining the precision of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team’s engineering with the creativity that defines Singapore.
Designed for one of the most physically demanding and humid races on the calendar, the collection combines adidas performance innovation with the essence of Singapore. Engineered for hot-weather conditions, CLIMACOOL and CLIMAPROOF technology features across key pieces, from the drivers’ jersey to the rain jacket, delivering breathable comfort and protection from rain, to help keep the team and fans dry from the inside out.
The collection is completed by a range of footwear, led by the CLIMACOOL Laced Shoes, which feature advanced adidas 3D printing technology – delivering enhanced breathability and comfort for tropical conditions, alongside the EVO SL and Handball Spezial. Michael Batz, Motorsport Category GM at adidas, said: “The Singapore Grand Prix presents one of the most challenging environments in global sport, making it the perfect stage to highlight the performance benefits of CLIMACOOL and CLIMAPROOF technology.
At the same time, we wanted to create a collection that felt deeply connected to Singapore itself. The Vanda Bloom Collection celebrates a symbol that is uniquely Singaporean, combining local storytelling with lightweight performance apparel designed for athletes and fans alike.” Richard Sanders, Chief Commercial Officer at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, said: “Our race-specific collections are an opportunity to connect more deeply with the communities that welcome Formula One each season. The Vanda Bloom Collection pays tribute to Singapore through one of its most iconic national symbols while reflecting the innovation and engineering excellence that both Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team and Singapore are known for. We’re excited to see the team and our fans bring this story to life throughout race weekend.”
The design story extends across the full adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Vanda Bloom Collection including lightweight shorts, trousers, caps, accessories, and will be available to purchase from August 27, 2026, at adidas.com/motorsport, MercedesAMGF1.com and selected adidas retail locations worldwide.
