Inspired by unpredictable climates, the Atric fuses all weather resistance and modern technology to form a sneaker that takes its cues from the German's Elite Tactical Police Unit. A full Primeknit upper is supported by waterproof-coated overlays, an insulated sockliner, reinforced water-resistant lining as well as a full-length lacing system. All this sits on a rugged and functional hiking-inspired outsole, perfect for all weather conditions. To support the campaign locally, Bubblegum Club's creative director Jamal Nxedlana conceptualized a lookbook delving into the idea of an Urban Warrior and their navigation of the city's spaces.

adidas keeps up the NMD momentum with the release of 3 new colourways of the R2, the follow-up to the much-loved NMD R1. Arguably the pick of the bunch, the Primeknit version of the runner comes covered in a speckled grey and white all-over knit, a branded heel pull and Boost sole, forming a solid foundation for what could become a future classic. Along with this comes another R2 covered in a new and exciting colourway known as 'Future Harvest', which could be loosely described as an orange colour, perfect for the Autumn months. Last but not least we get the ladies version of the R2 with a crisp white and grey all over knit.
