This first collaborative collection features two classic Marimekko prints: Annika Rimala's "Laine" (a design pattern with a wave motif) from 1965 and Maija Louekari's "Räsymatto" (a design inspired by well-worn rugs) from 2009. The bold and vivid patterns are woven with Adidas' signature high-performance fabrics to create a playful design that will instantly brighten up your everyday life.
