Daniëlle Cathari has collaborated with [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advisry-and-adidas) for three years, and to celebrate the anniversary the designer will be auctioning rare [adidas original pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-new-campaign). The [capsule collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-and-adidas-2) made in collaboration with this designer often sell out quickly, driving up consumer demand for certain items.

In light of this, Cathari will be reviving those most-requested items, and retailing them online. Each day, the designer will reveal one look that will be available online for 24 hours. After the time is up, the highest bider gets to take home the rare piece. The auction will consist of denim jackets, tracksuits, skirts and more.

The auction will take place online, with bids starting at an average of just $6 USD.
