A-TYPE Collection Highlights
The debut lineup focuses on three iconic Adidas items:
Superstar Sneakers
Handcrafted in Italy, these sneakers feature high-quality leather uppers with embossed Adidas stripes. They are adorned with cashmere laces tipped with silver-plated accents and come equipped with a Lightstrike Pro midsole for enhanced comfort. Each pair is presented in a molded shoe box, complete with wooden shoe trees and white gloves for careful handling.
Firebird Tracksuit
A luxurious take on the classic 1980s design, this tracksuit is constructed entirely from fine leather, offering a sophisticated twist on a streetwear staple.
Drawing inspiration from Adidas' 1970s archives, the Airliner bag has been updated with supple Italian leather and premium hardware. Available in two sizes, it features a detachable belt and cotton lining, blending functionality with high-end appeal.
Expansion into Accessories
Beyond apparel, the A-TYPE collection introduces a range of silver Trefoil jewelry, including rings, earrings, and pendants. These pieces are designed to complement the main collection, further elevating Adidas' presence in the luxury sector.
Market Position and Pricing
With the A-TYPE collection, Adidas is making a deliberate move into the luxury fashion arena. The collection is priced accordingly, with the Superstar sneakers retailing at approximately $850, the Firebird leather tracksuit at around $1,500, and jewelry pieces ranging between $500 and $2,000.
This strategic expansion reflects Adidas' commitment to innovation and quality, appealing to consumers seeking high-end, fashion-forward sportswear.
