From icons like the Stan Smith (and its latest designer revamp), to patterned swim shorts and textured polos, the adidas Summer collection is a distillation of everything we love the brand for. It’s simple athletic wear done to the highest degree, seamlessly crossing the boundary between sports and lifestyle.
