Collaborative Velour Tracksuits

Japan's UNITED ARROWS Joined with adidas to Make Retro Sportswear

— October 6, 2016 — Fashion
Although velour tracksuits haven't really been around since the late 1970s, or when Juicy Couture was a fashion staple for many, UNITED ARROWS and adidas seem to be bringing them back in a limited-edition release.

In order to get the design, the two considered the look of a pair of Stan Smith sneakers that carry a retro theme. Taking the same brown and gold colorway that marks bits up the upper, UNITED ARROWS and adidas transformed it into a velour tracksuit to match.

Given the surge in vintage fashion comebacks as of late, especially in terms of athletic-minded streetwear, it's likely that consumers will have an appreciation for the deliciously old-school velour tracksuit. In order to get one, consumers can head over to a UNITED ARROWS store or pick one up online.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Sportswear Comeback - The resurgence of vintage fashion, particularly in athletic streetwear, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for brands to reintroduce retro-inspired designs.
2. Collaborative Fashion Releases - Partnerships between brands, like UNITED ARROWS and adidas, in creating limited-edition releases can drive excitement and engagement among consumers, leading to potential disruptive innovation in the fashion industry.
3. Online and In-store Shopping Integration - Combining the convenience of online shopping with the experiential aspect of in-store visits, as seen with UNITED ARROWS, can create a disruptive innovation opportunity for retail brands to offer a seamless omnichannel shopping experience.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can explore opportunities to capitalize on the trend of retro sportswear comebacks and collaborative fashion releases.
2. Sportswear - The sportswear industry can leverage the nostalgia-driven demand for retro-inspired designs and collaborate with fashion brands for disruptive innovation.
3. Retail - Retail brands can adopt an omnichannel approach to integrate online and in-store shopping experiences, offering convenience and enhancing customer engagement.
