As sports brands compete to bring the very best in performance wear to athletes, the standard of training gear is set increasingly higher. adidas are the latest to get involved, as they announce a premium training collection for Fall/Winter 2016. "Standard 19" is a new range which offers a balance between aesthetics and performance, featuring men's and womenswear designed for an active lifestyle; although we're sure the line will go down a storm in the burgeoning technical-lifestyle market, too.

The range includes sumptuous base layers made from merino, polyester and elastane blends in marbled black, greys, and off-whites with specifically designed performance elements like reflective details, waterproof pockets, and taping as well as adidas's exclusive Climacool®, Climaproof® and Climastorm™.

The whole collection will be available globally at adidas Sports Performance stores and all good adidas retailers from August 1. For some more retro designs from adidas, check out the "Island" series and dive into their archives.
