Mary Katrantzou for Adidas

Following the steps of Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons, Rick Owens and, more recently, Pharrell Williams, Mary Katrantzou collaborates with Adidas and the result is breath taking. The Greek designer famous for her digital prints brings sportswear to a whole new level.

Her main source of inspiration were the track shoes worn by medal winners in the 1970s and 1980s. “Mary is a true innovator in her use of color and print as well as her experimentation with embroidery and other applications,” said Dirk Schoenberger, Adidas Sport Style Creative Director. “She brings all of these strengths into the world of sport-inspired style and applies her unique perspective to sneakers and apparel, creating a great fusion of high fashion, street wear and technology.”

Here, a first look at Originals by Mary Katrantzou, a Technicolor-printed offering in stores November 15.

It is one of the times when sportswear is designed for runway and not running.

What to Wear - 20140210

Trainer-lovers and style setters will remember 2013 as the year of the sports shoe. The New Balance sneaker trend and the wedged Isabel Marant high tops, have been a street style favorite for many - with even the most conservative of dressers swapping their pin-thin stilettos for sneakers.

Adidas is set to follow in the footsteps of their competitors, with the relaunch of their classic Stan Smith trainer, that has sold over 30 million pairs since it was first introduced. 

This is why today I will show you a way to wear them and be classy and chic. I recomend a very simple black look that will make your Stan Smith's stand out! A leather mini dress and a pair of statement black sunglasses will sure make a lot of heads turn. And never forget to take care of your skin. Keep it fresh and young with Estee Lauder's Idealist Serum and day-wear creme.

Whether you are a fan of the classic minimalistic white leather pair or the all-new coloured suede variation, which will be available in March, don't hesitate to wear them in every occasion.
