This season, ‘90s vibes meet ‘00s tech as the Los Angeles-based label, Sporty & Rich, and adidas Originals come together once again to celebrate the timeless aesthetics of running style with their latest head-to-toe collection.
Channelling the eternal energy of running and the lifestyle that surrounds it, the Emily Oberg-led brand brings its curatorial lens to the ADISTAR CONTROL 5. First introduced in 2008, the silhouette has been updated with metallic overlays, co-branded sockliners, tongues, and lace-tips. Featuring running-inspired color blocking, the Sporty & Rich ADISTAR CONTROL 5 sneaker arrives in two colorways grey with teal stripes with metallic overlays and white with black/teal stripes.
Similarly, the apparel offering plays host to a few run-club-ready pieces. A matching bralette and biker shorts feature green heat-transferred stripes and a custom Sporty & Rich x adidas Originals running-inspired graphic logo. Designed for pre and post-run club link-ups, the apparel collection also comprises a windbreaker and oversized cotton sweatshirt. Rounding out the selection are a nylon waist bag and a pair of slouchy knit socks with embroidered logos.
The latest adidas Originals and Sporty & Rich collection is available on 6th October at adidas.co.za, Sandton Halo and V&A Waterfront stores with prices starting from R649-R2799.
