Pure. It’s in the name.
Over a decade ago, Pure was founded on a simple belief that there is always a better way.
A singular conviction that no matter what the brand, what the product, there is a story to be told that can grab the eyeballs and hearts of people and make an impact on their lives. All these years later that vision hasn’t changed a jot.
Pure was born and raised in the digital age, in an age of exponentially increasing layers of experience, fast-changing consumer habits, and voracious appetite for content. We know all the jargon, but we don’t lead with it.
Instead we’ve still chosen to embrace some simple truths: That people love a good concept. That people will always be stirred by excellent creativity. That great, honest work will always pay dividends.
It’s all experiential, after all. As a holistic experiential partner, we work to plug in seamlessly with the modern integrated ecosystem, bridging on-the-ground brand experiences with the worlds of art and design, social media, and e-commerce.
And we don’t just talk to the community of China’s brand-savvy youth, we are a part of it. Over countless projects, for many of the world’s hottest brands, we have never forgotten that this a human-to-human business.

HERE COMES THE SHOWREEL
THE LATEST // SOME SNIPPETS OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO LATELY
ADIDAS ORIGINALS : MADE ORIGINALS SUPERSTAR EXHIBITION
Compared with its official sneaker name, Superstar, the nickname "Shell Toe" is more familiar and resonant with many fans of the classic sneaker from adidas.
The adidas Superstar was born in 1969, travelling from basketball to hiphop, from skateboarding to the art world.
The Superstar is a record of the changes and innovations in the basketball world. It became a conduit for the spirit of the people through hiphop. It bore witness to the rise of street culture and sneaker culture. And so, different communities have created different definitions for what Superstar means to them.
Even now, after more than half a century, this pair of shoes is still making an impact on the world. It is a living legend.
Putting on an exhibition that did justice to such an icon, such a barometer of sneaker history, was no mean feat.
That was where Pure stepped in.
As the key events partner for adidas Originals for this event, Pure worked with the brand to develop the creative format, direction, and key visual before turning it all into a reality for visitors that over 1500 visitors immersed themselves in.
Using a museum-like format that fully used the sprawling XC273 location, the event storytelling was achieved through a series of high-impact installations that explored the extraordinary design and culture behind Superstar. Key highlights included a giant gilded metallic sneaker suspended over water, a 15m wide colour way installation, custom branded tokens, and a specially-curated photo gallery.

GOING BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE LATEST ADIDAS BLUE VERSION ACTIVATION SERIES -PART 2, FT. Lin Fanglu
A key part of the ‘residency’ aspect of the latest adidas Originals Blue Version installations, in which art is used as a mode of expressing the concept, came from award-winning artist Lin Fanglu. Connecting with and stemming from the blue sunset concept brought to life by film director Yezi, Lin Fanglu set about exploring central themes around“blue as the color of the universe, light and eternity, the color of the sea and the sky”.
Famous for her work with indigo dye, Lin Fanglu was a natural choice to add depth to the adidas Blue Version experience.
The immersive nature of her installations for the project, viewable in Shanghai and Chengdu, merges the digital and the physical to create a new interpretation of the universe; an expression of blue as the colour as the universe, a source of constant life and motion, something beyond the immediate, something otherworldly.

GOING BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE LATEST ADIDAS BLUE VERSION ACTIVATION SERIES— PART 1, FT. YEZI
The latest project for adidas Originals Blue Version required an entirely new mode of thinking. Like the leading edge apparel it is inspired by, the project required a level of storytelling and layering light years ahead of most brand activations.
The signature event of the series touched down in Beijing’s thriving SKP-S mall. Taking its central theme ‘Martian Utopia’ as a creative launchpad, the activation combined elements of technology and the avant garde to create unique and otherworldly impression.
In order to bring this idea to life, Film director Yezi joined the project, bringing to play ideas of re-coding and subversion, challenging the space between the objective and the subjective. Her central work, entitled ‘Blue Version of Sunset, featured an extra-terrestrial 264-hour long sunset rendered in blue, as the sun would appear on the planet Mars. Yezi’s video output creates a consistent visual language for the viewer experience.
