Adidas has just launched its New York Grand Slam Tennis Collection, and it’s interesting, to say the least.
I love the concept of reversible or “transformable” apparel as it would give you more looks for less moolah, but I’m not sure this is what I would have done.
Fall Slam Transform Dress
Take the Fall Slam Transform Dress ($120), for example. This unique design is a color-blocked racerback dress that can be transformed into an all-black outfit in a snap. Simply lift the front and back top layers of the skirt up to your shoulders and snap together. It’s kinda cool, but the double layers (either as the skirt or top) might make it a little hot to play in.
Adidas Fall Slam Match Skirt Pro
Then there is the Adidas Fall Slam Match Skirt Pro ($75),Β a two-in-one design that features a solid color on one side and a striped pattern on the other. It also has a separate matching black shortie with ball pocket.
Adidas Fall Slam Pro Set
Another in the collection that “transforms” is the Adidas Fall Slam Pro Set ($130). This is a two-piece set featuring a form-fitting rib texture leotard with a 1/2 zip entry, a neckline with contrast accent, and laser-cut perforations on the front and back for added breathability. The multi-layered skirt has an elastic waistband and pleated overlapping lightweight woven layers. Wear the leotard by itself or add the skirt to make it like a dress.
The rest of the collection includes two tank tops, one long-sleeved top, and one jacket/poncho.
There are two tank tops, the Adidas US Open Y-Tank Pro ($70) and the Adidas US Open Match Tank Pro ($70). The images for the US Open Y-Tank (top 2 photos) show the models also wearing a sports bra, which doesn’t come with the top. I’m thinking if the models needed a sports bra for the photos, then you definitely will need one to play π
The US Open Match Tank (bottom 2 photos) kinda looks like it’s made from two different tops, lol! If I had to wear one, I’d choose the black one.
Adidas planned for cooler weather, as there are also a couple of pieces ready for Fall.
The Adidas US Open 3/4 Sleeve Pro Top ($75) has a striking print, a crew neck, and is made of lightweight, breathable fabrics. It pairs well with the black Adidas Fall Slam Match Skirt.
And lastyle, we have the Adidas Women’s Fall Slam Premium Jacket ($140) which is more like a poncho. It has adjustable elastic cords at the shoulders and hem with toggles to change the lengths of the sleeves and hemline by ruching them up. It also has a generous hood to cover your hair in case you get caught in the rain. Another cool feature is that it’s so lightweight. It can be folded up and packed into its own small self-contained pouch.
You can head over to Tennis Warehouse, Tennis Express, Holabird Sports, or any other large tennis retailer and check out this collection in person. If you don’t live near these retailers, you can also purchase them online at www.adidas.com π
