David Beckham and James Bond were inspired by the mix of classic American sportswear and fabrics with fashionable silhouettes and details.

Other than their legendary shoe collection, I really do not engulf myself into the outerwear of adidas but I really appreciate this collection. It is very subtle and classic. It isnt super sexy or tuesday's new trend but I like the lifestyle blends.
