Being lazy fucks here at TRR sportswear rarely registers on our radar. But when it does it has a lot to live up to; we want it luxe, we want it sexy, we want it wearable goddamit. There's a plethora of brands out there doing it badly and when it's bad, its horrid. This can't be said for adidas originals. A staple classic, whose Tokyo design team know how to sex it up, their new Blue collection brings a little somethin'-somethin' to the otherwise overlooked (in our case) genre.

We snuck a look at the new collection at their recent press day and offerings focused a lot on texture, with panels of croc creeping into trainers and accessories and knit printed onto a statement bomber which particularly tickled our fancy. As was to be expected the strongest pieces lied in menswear, harking back to 80's classics reworked into new desirable staples. Clever flashes of colour, wearable and dare we say 'chic' pieces were aplenty. May even inspire us to get gym-bound.

Adidas Originals Blue hits stores nationwide on the 15th of October.
