A-Type by Adidas is a new line launching under the Adidas lifestyle label, Adidas Originals, with a focus on craftsmanship and premium products. Described as an "ever-evolving collection centred on reimagining icons from the Three Stripes’ unrivaled archive through the most premium of fabrics, assembled by outstanding ateliers," A-Type revives heritage styles through a modern lens.
The refined, sophisticated offerings from A-Type are debuting with reimagined wardrobe staples in the form of the Superstar sneaker, Firebird tracksuit, and Airliner bag crafted in leather with European ateliers. Since these products profoundly shaped music, fashion, entertainment, and sports culture, the images of the collection (styled by Matthew Henson and captured by Gabriel Moses) revisit decades of influence in a fresh light.
