Adidas Originals X Topshop collaboration for SS14 is out this week (March 20th). With sport inspired fashion currently at the top of its game, the 20-piece collection, called Topshop X adidas Originals, sees the retailer giving the sports brand’s designs a fashionable twist.

Topshop tears through the adidas Originals archives in this exclusive summer collaboration, bringing sportswear to fashion streetstyle. Reimagining heritage classics for the concrete catwalk, a unique take on the SS14 trends promises to pioneer a range that will cement icons while pushing the limits of city styling.

Styles in the collection include tailored, slim fitting three-stripe tracksuit bottoms along with cotton vests with scoop arm holes and sweatshirts adorned with a print inspired by London landmarks, created by Topshop’s designers. Footwear also gets a make-over with adidas Originals’ Superstar, Tech Super and Attitude silhouettes reworked in brand new leather and print combinations.

Kate Phelan, Topshop’s creative director, says the collection aims to bring some “femininity” to adidas Originals sports designs, and notes that the collection is designed to be worn as a fashion range.

This SS14 adidas Originals proves its place at the forefront of exciting and innovative collaborations, partnering with this highstreet powerhouse. The collection launches globally on March 20th and will be stocked in select U.K. Topshop stores.

As you no doubt know by now, adidas Originals re-launched the iconic Stan Smith trainer last week – the accredited best-selling shoe off all time making a long overdue comeback.

Now, to highlight the shoe’s place as THE female fashion footwear trend of 2014, adidas has teamed up with one of the hottest female photographers around, Bella Howard, and female stylist of the moment, Pandora Lennard, to create a series of candid new visuals showcasing the shoe’s classic style credentials.

On the collaboration Bella says, “To be involved in a project like this was an absolute dream for me. Adidas allowed me complete creative freedom to shoot the iconic Stan Smith exactly how I saw fit. I wanted to keep the 70s a reference point and keep the shoot as organic and as stripped back as possible. I shot with an all girl super team and I’m super happy with the shots.”
