    From performance to lifestyle, the new collection remixes the original design, fusing it with adidas’ AEROREADY technology and stylish yet subtle features, all whilst maintaining adidas Sportswear’s comfort first DNA. Embracing a stripped-back aesthetic that can be styled in various ways to suit individual style, the key looks from the collection include:  

    Z.N.E. Premium Full Zip paired with Z.N.E. Premium Pants or Z.N.E. Leggings: Boasting a casual yet coordinated look, the men’s Full Zip hoodie offers an all-round relaxed fit with added shape through its ribbed hem, cuff construction, and high rounded neckline. Maintaining similar design cues, the women’s version instead adopts a batwing aesthetic with added form through its shoulder structure helping to offset its boxy silhouette.

Built with a kangaroo pocket and all-round clean seaming, the pullover garment also features an extra high neckline when the hood is up, for added comfort. Similarly, the women’s Overhead Hoodie and Shorts remain understated in detail but still bold in essence owed to its all-white colour palette, resembling the men’s look with identical cutlines and stylistic features. The hoodie offers an oversized, boxy aesthetic whilst the shorts bring the pairing together with its split hem detailing and wide leg fit

    Women’s Z.N.E. Tee and Z.N.E. Shorts: Offering a cropped fit, the basic short sleeve tee also boasts a striking pink fusion hue, whilst a contrasting thick ribbed hem and neckline provide added shape.
