It’s not unlike adidas creating new collections to cater to different audiences. Over time, the brand has produced collections that suit skateboarders, lifestyles, and performance needs. While the brand continues to release new and exciting styles in its existing collections, it is also looking to expand its base with a new lineup that takes the brand on a new route. With a luxurious feel, adidas’ A-TYPE collection is a remix of some iconic styles with a more sophisticated taste. While we’ve seen a few glimpses of adidas’ luxury musings through collaborations with designers like Wales Bonner, this new collection is a brand initiative that reinvents some of your favorite pieces. Adidas is taking on one of its most popular silhouettes for its footwear and giving it an elevated upgrade.

The Maurice Lacroix 1975 Collection: A trip down memory lane

Maurice Lacroix revamps a collection from the past

Maurice Lacroix 1975 Collection

Maurice Lacroix just launched a collection of new watches with retro and modern features—the 1975 collection—to mark a special moment in its history, the 50th anniversary. The brand borrowed a few traits from the Les Classique collection and upgraded the design to keep up with the times. Think of it as a full circle moment for the brand, when the beginning merges with the end.

This new collection features 12 pieces with multiple dial colors and different mechanisms to offer different styling options. While the 12 variants have a basic design that’s quite identical, the difference boils down to small details such as the dial color. The primary colors are blue, white, and black.
