Editors’ Picks are the Fashionista team’s true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all.
Adidas is famous for its collaborations, racking up big-name fashion partnerships from Gucci and Stella McCartney to Wales Bonner and Khaite. Lately, it’s also been working with Sporty & Rich, the Los Angeles-based athleisurewear company helmed by Emily Oberg — and their latest collection, launching on June 15, doubles down on the vintage-y aesthetic with a number of archival pieces “reimagined with elevated details in unisex sizing,” per a press release from the brand.
There’s apparel (shorts, a T-shirt, a soccer jersey an a v-neck sweater in shades of navy, cream and light blue), but the footwear options are really the star here: Sporty & Rich reimagined the iconic Sambas silhouette, which has ranked among the trendiest sneakers among fashion people for the past several years, and its cream-colored version with bright, almost turquoise-blue accents is definitely calling to me.

They feature suede and leather accents, as well as the cutest li’l pearl accent: a diminutive keyring that can be worn on the shoes themselves (as shown in the lookbook shot above) or separately.
This collab is so good, it’s pretty much begging me to download the Adidas “Confirmed” app, through which the collection launches exclusively at 10 a.m. Thursday. (It will also roll out on Adidas and Sporty & Rich’s e-commerce sites, as well as other select retailers, beginning on May 4.)
