“Working with Maria has been so interesting from a design point of view; we were able to eliminate items one felt less confident in and concentrate on items that enhanced her performance. I loved that one of the best player in the world plays better when she feels and looks great," McCartney said.
The tennis line is completely integrated in the color palette of the spring/summer 2006 collection of adidas by Stella McCartney. Strong shades of reds (pop, calypso, husky pink), yellows (flash, electricity) and a new green (macaw) alongside the traditional tennis color white and toned-down pastels like orchid and the signature color of the collection, dusty rose, from now on will provide unexpected color twists on and off the tennis court.
The new adidas by Stella McCartney tennis range will be available as of mid February in high-end department stores, adidas Sport Performance stores and Stella McCartney stores around the world. Price points range from 15 Euros (Accessories) to 260 Euros (Apparel).
The adidas by Stella McCartney range is part of the adidas Sport Performance division. Adidas has built and underlined its leadership in tennis with only one focused mission, and that is to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment and gear.
Top athletes such as Andre Agassi, Justine Henin-Hardenne, Marat Safin, Martina Hingis, Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Guillermo Coria aswell as adidas ambassadors such as Steffi Graf, Stan Smith and Ilie Nastase wear state-of-the art adidas tennis products.
