Two concepts, one shared aesthetic language: tennis —on and off the court— as the starting point for reimagining contemporary style.
The collaboration between Sporty & Rich and adidas Originals returns with a new proposal that merges the histories and visual worlds of two brands with a long-standing relationship. Under the creative direction of Emily Oberg, the American brand brings its signature sensitivity to the adidas universe in a tribute to the heritage of tennis, both on court and beyond.
Founded in 2014 as a visual moodboard —a celebration of everyday beauty, aesthetic nostalgia, and lifestyle icons— Sporty & Rich has evolved into a contemporary reference. Now, the brand brings that lens to two archival adidas silhouettes, accompanied by a collection of apparel and accessories that creates a dialogue between eras, materials, and styles.
Two models, two ways of understanding tennis
At the heart of the collection are two sneakers with radically different approaches:
adidas Originals Blanc:
A retro silhouette inspired by the elegance of 1970s tennis. Available in two mirrored versions (white with green suede detailing and green with white), both colorways include tennis racket lace charms and co-branded elements. A precise and elegant homage to on-court heritage.
adidas ADIZERO ADIOS:
A performance running shoe originally launched in the 2000s, now reinterpreted with a streetwear sensibility. It features a two-tone mesh upper, gradient three stripes, an ADIPRENE outsole, and a lightweight build made for everyday wear. A standout off-court option, training-ready and colored like the courts themselves.
Beyond footwear: apparel for a new sporting uniform
The capsule includes a range of apparel pieces that draw from classic tennis style: polos, graphic tees, shorts, skirts, and a heavyweight knit sweater. The collection is rounded out with accessories like caps and a classic canvas bag —ideal for bringing sporty aesthetics into any urban context.
Now available at FOOTDISTRICT, this collaboration between Sporty & Rich and adidas celebrates tennis heritage while reimagining it with a forward-looking, functional, and deeply stylized perspective.
