adidas and Gucci’s AW22 collection was one of the most talked about link-ups of recent times, as Alessandro Michele pulled out all the stops at his AW22 Exquisite show. The result was a fusion of wearable sportswear shot through with Italian glamour and high drama that seared through the noise of the season. Now, we bring good news: from today, the collection is available to shop right here on Dazed, with pieces seen here specially selected by Dazed’s editor-in-chief IB Kamara.

For the collection, Michele delved deep into the sportswear icon’s archival catalogues for a dialogue that feels both authentic and quite insane. The clothes themselves have been given a distinctly surreal twist – this is the tennis match we want to be courtside for, in our Gucci interlocked Gs; the yoga class we want to be at in zany florals to better unlock our heart chakras; or the dance class in which we’d frankly wear all of it, including XXL sunglasses, heeled clogs, and a voluminous bouffant (maybe this is solely an arm day).

Accessories-wise, the Gucci Horsebit 1955 crossbody and tote with equestrian-inspired hardware are stamped with the adidas Trefoil, as are luggage bags. Tennis-inspired pieces, including sweater vests, polo shirts, and a knitted mini are elegant and slim-tailored, for post-exercise enjoyment. The overall effect is that of the sportswear of the 70s and 80s, including, obviously, the classic Three-Stripe tracksuit, given a distinctly glam Gucci edge. Prints play across wide-legged trousers and slim-sleeved jackets while short-shorts are ideal for whatever sport you might be inclined toward.

With Exquisite runway looks seen across the cover of Dazed’s just-landed Issue V – as worn by A$AP Rocky, styled by Kamara, and photographed by Brianna Capozzi – set to land later this year, this month marks the arrival of drop one. “I really like how these garments fit,” says Kamara. “They look very modern yet timeless, and the cut and the fabrication are really beautiful.”

It’s not news that athleisure is everywhere still, but this particular collection has been elevated through the infusion of adidas’ signatures and Gucci silhouettes (or should that be the other way around?) From the trackie bottoms-meets-tailored jacket, to bucket hats teamed with shorts over leggings, the vibe is sporty, nerdy, and glam all at once. In very different ways, this encapsulates the work of both adidas and Gucci – there’s always something you want, whether it’s a design classic or a moment of excitement.
