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.
Channeling 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 number of 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 waistbag and a pair of slouchy knit socks with embroidered logos.
The latest adidas Originals and Sporty & Rich collection pre-launches on October 1st on sportyandrich.com and is available on October 6th via CONFIRMED, adidas.com , selected adidas and adidas Originals stores, and select retailers.
About Sporty and Rich:
Founded by Emily Oberg in 2014, Sporty and Rich began as a mood board for life; a collection of images from past and present that represent a life surrounded by beauty. It soon expanded into a print magazine, covering design, iconic figures, creativity, and forgotten moments and places. Now, the brand offers a collection of simple, yet thoughtfully designed products that emphasize longevity over momentary relevance.
