Jenna Ortega channels a sporty Wednesday Addams with adidas Sportswear
Athleisure has been on the scene for a while now, but adidas is looking to take it a step further with the introduction of the brand’s first new label in five decades, adidas Sportswear. You’ll find tracksuits and sneakers in the collection, but they’ve all been designed to “level up everyday looks and moments.” Read: Bring the cool factor. And who better to do that than Wednesday Addams herself, Jenna Ortega, who is the star of its new campaign? After all, does anyone look better in black? I don’t think so.
Canada Goose’s NBA collab isn’t just for basketball fans
You don’t have to be a regular at Jurassic Park (the Toronto Raptors’ fan zone outside of Scotiabank Arena) to enjoy Canada Goose’s new collection in partnership with the NBA. Designed in collaboration with Ottawa-born designer Chris Gibbs of Union LA, the latest offering from the outerwear brand features streetwear staples like bomber jackets, puffy vests and bold colours. Consider it a slam dunk.

Plant your feet with Allbirds
Allbirds wants you to wear plants on your feet — literally— with the launch of its new sneakers, the Plant Pacer. These runners are unique because they’re made from plant leather, a 100% plastic-free and vegan leather alternative that contains only natural materials like rubber, plant oils, and agricultural byproducts like citrus peels. They’re also guaranteed to be extra cushy thanks to SweetFoam, which uses renewable sugarcane to create a lighter shoe that contours to feet for all-day comfort.
