adidas Originals has unveiled their A-TYPE Collection, a reimagining of archival pieces such as the Superstar alongside apparel and accessories; imbuing them with luxury elements, an elevation of sportswear staples to the upper echelon of haute couture.

About adidas Originals’ A-TYPE Collection

At the collection’s zenith stands the “A-TYPE” Superstar, inculcated with Italian artisanship. Drawing inspiration from the original prototype, high-grade leather whispers tales of its provenance, while the debossed canvas adds a textural counterpoint. Cashmere laces, tipped with detachable finials, glide through silver-plated lace jewelry, each element a subtle yet potent declaration of luxury.

Beneath, the Lightstrike Pro midsole assures a cloud-like embrace, marrying comfort with couture. The unboxing ritual itself is elevated to an art form: a molded box gives way to wooden shoe trees and pristine white gloves, a ceremony of unveiling a truly exceptional piece.

Beyond the Superstar, the A-TYPE Collection unfolds with equal refinement. The classic Firebird tracksuit is reborn in supple, fine leather; its familiar silhouette is now imbued with an air of sophisticated nonchalance. A reimagined Airliner bag, plucked from the archives of the 1970s, appears in two sizes, its premium materials and refined finish a testament to timeless design.

Finally, a range of sterling silver Trefoil jewelry provides a subtle yet powerful punctuation.

Release Details

For now, the A-TYPE Collection remains an exclusive Friends & Family offering. The lookbook, featuring Pusha T, Tyshawn Jones, and Paloma Elsesser, showcases the collection’s versatile allure, its effortless transition from street style to high fashion.

Nonetheless, considering estimated prices have been announced, a release can be assumed is in order. The Superstar shoe is estimated to cost US$850, the Firebird Tracksuit Jacket US$1,500, and accessories and jewelry US$500 to $2,000.
