ASOS and Adidas Originals to launch exclusive womenswear collection, stage catwalk debut
And although it's produced in conjunction with Adidas Originals, it's been solely designed by ASOS. The collection also represents a new chapter in the partnership between the two, 'mark[ing] a new milestone in their ongoing collaboration', hence the key catwalk presentation.
The extensive apparel collection is inspired by 'iconic Adidas pieces and crafted with ASOS' creative vision, promising to redefine summer style'. It features exclusive colourways, bespoke fabrics, embroidery- and trend-focused silhouettes 'against a backdrop of 3-stripes history' with each piece 'blending sporting heritage with enduring street style', ASOS said.
To create the collection, ASOS said its in-house design team 'immersed itself in Adidas legacy, researching past collections and iconic streetwear silhouettes to reinterpret them through the lens of ASOS' fashion-forward customer'.
Featuring those signature stripes, the summer-ready separates come in 'rich burgundies and timeless neutral hues, accented with vibrant pops of blue and green'.
Historic track sets are given a refresh in crochet knit fabrications and statement graphic prints 'all of which can be styled with Adidas low-profile silhouettes to complete the head-to-toe styling'.
Vanessa Spence, executive VP, Brand and Creative at ASOS, said: 'This collection marks a bold next step in our long-standing relationship with Adidas. We've brought our customers exclusive trainer launches and fresh product drops, and now, we're proud to pioneer this new way of working with one of our most trusted partners.
'[It] marks the most exciting launch in the history of the partnership and also ASOS history.'
Chris Walsh, VP Brand, Adidas North Europe, added: 'We're always pushing the boundaries of sport and style [and] ASOS has been a valued partner in bringing that vision to life. This collection captures the creativity and energy both brands represent.'
Prices range from £30-£300 in sizes XS-3XL.

Adidas designer apologises for shoes 'appropriated' from Mexico
US fashion designer Willy Chavarria has issued a public apology after his collaboration with Adidas Originals was accused of cultural appropriation for using a traditional Mexican design without involving the Indigenous community behind it. The Oaxaca Slip-On, inspired by huaraches – handmade leather sandals with deep cultural roots in Indigenous Mexican craftsmanship – was criticised by officials in Mexico, including President Claudia Sheinbaum. The controversy centres around the fact that the shoe – which was reportedly manufactured in China – was made without consultation with or credit to the communities whose cultural heritage inspired the design. Chavarria, a prominent designer and former senior vice president of design at Calvin Klein, said in a statement sent to the BBC: "I am deeply sorry that the shoe was appropriated in this design and not developed in direct and meaningful partnership with the Oaxacan community." He continued: "The intention was always to honour the powerful cultural and artistic spirit of Oaxaca and its creative communities – a place whose beauty and resistance have inspired me. The name Oaxaca is not just a word – its living culture, its people, and its history." "This falls short of the respect and collaborative approach that Oaxaca, the Zapotec community of Villa Hidalgo Yalálag, and its people deserve," he added, referencing the village where the design has its roots. "I know love is not just given – it is earned through action." Adidas has also expressed regret, saying it 'recognizes and values the cultural richness of Mexico's Indigenous communities and the meaning of their artisanal heritage.' 'The 'Oaxaca Slip-On' was inspired by a design from Oaxaca, rooted in the tradition of Villa Hidalgo Yalálag. We offer a public apology and reaffirm our commitment to collaborate with Yalálag in a respectful dialogue that honors their cultural legacy,' the company wrote. Mexico's deputy culture minister, Marina Núñez, said Adidas had contacted local officials to discuss 'restitution to the people who were plagiarised.' In response to the backlash, both Adidas and Chavarria removed promotional material for the Oaxaca Slip-On from their social media platforms. The Associated Press reported that Adidas responded to Mexican authorities in a letter on Friday, acknowledging the criticism and requesting discussions to 'repair the damage' to the affected communities. In recent years, Mexico has repeatedly pushed back against international fashion brands, including Zara and Shein, for designs it deemed too close to traditional patterns. The country passed a federal law in 2022 to protect Indigenous and Afro-Mexican peoples' intellectual and cultural property. Unauthorised use of Indigenous cultural expressions is now punished with fines and prison sentences.
