Zendaya and Adidas Unveil’s Footwear for Teen Girl Athletes

A​didas​ has unveil​ed​ ​t​he ‘Adigirl’ Collection, a new apparel line designed specifically for the teen athlete. It’s a line that draws inspiration from five team sports – basketball, volleyball, track, softball and soccer—each popular with the teen athlete. Using these activities as a starting point, adidas designers also infused adigirl with some of the same technologies found in its other ​s​port performance product addressing the sport and stylistic wants of the athletic teen.
