The adidas Originals x Sporty & Rich Tennis Collection is back in play—and it’s dressed to impress both the court and the catwalk.
In a rally that’s part heritage, part high-style, Sporty & Rich and adidas Originals have volleyed their collaborative energy into a vintage-inspired lineup of apparel, accessories, and sneakers that make even your local tennis club look like a runway in Paris.
This latest drop—available May 30th via sportyandrich.com, the CONFIRMED app, adidas.com, and select retailers—cements the revival of off-court tennis style, with a design language that nods to the golden ages of sport and streetwear alike. It’s not just a collection; it’s a curated serve of nostalgia and modern flair.
The Sporty & Rich Tennis Collection begins with two distinctly reworked adidas sneaker icons: the early-2000s-born ADIZERO ADIOS and the 1970s throwback adidas Originals Blanc.
The former steps out in crisp green and midnight navy, featuring a two-tone mesh upper, gradient Three Stripes, ADIPRENE outsole, and branding so subtle it feels like a whispered compliment.
The latter—available in inverted colourways of white leather with green suede stripes and vice versa—boasts retro tennis charm right down to the racket-shaped lace charms.
Yes, you heard that right—lace charms shaped like tennis rackets. Even Björn Borg would blink twice.
Emily Oberg, the quietly commanding force behind Sporty & Rich, once again proves that simplicity with taste will always outlast the fast-fashion chaos.
Her team’s eye for details is evident throughout the apparel drop: polos and tanks cut to flatter, graphic tees with understated swagger, breezy shorts and skorts, and a heavy knit sweater that looks equally at home courtside or fireside.
Rounding out the edit? A classic canvas bag and minimalistic caps that make you feel like you belong in a Slim Aarons photo.
“The collection is about timelessness,” says a representative from Sporty & Rich. “We wanted to bring the elegance and ease of tennis dressing to a new generation.”
Indeed, this isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about returning to a time when sportswear was elegant, aspirational, and built to last.
Whether you’re swinging a racquet or sipping an espresso, the Sporty & Rich Tennis Collection makes sure you look like you know exactly what you’re doing.
In a world choked with limited drops and algorithm-led chaos, it’s refreshing to see something that leans on design, legacy, and, dare we say, good taste. This collection doesn’t shout—it smirks. And that’s a winning move every time.
