Beautiful sports things for every day
We were always interested observe the development of technology in sports fashion. And now it has become even more interesting, considering that the trend is now post-training style (après sport) - that is, no one will judge you (and even vice versa) if you come to work in sports things, as if you just left the gym or returned from jogging . In general, technological things at the intersection of fashion and sport have become particularly relevant. We chose some beautiful and functional leggings, sneakers, sconces and tops, and at the same time told about the brands that produce them.
Top and shorts LAAIN
The philosophy of the British brand LAAIN is built around the lifestyle of its creators, Tamara Rothstein and Sheila McCain-Wade, who are not only keen on running, but do not see the difference between sports and everyday life. As Tamara says, their clothes fully correspond to the modern way of life ("These are clothes for women who want to have time for everything: go to work, run for a workout, and then go to a meeting right away - and don’t carry thousands of changeable clothing bags with you" ), and design could envy Alexander Wang. LAAIN offer uncluttered, technologically advanced and in a good simple clothes from the sports suite segment: the brand's items are in the range of 80-300 pounds. At the same time, it is not necessary to wear them exclusively to the gym: for example, such an oversized top in everyday wear will add some elegance to the image.

Body and Leggings Live The Process
One day, fashion-publicist Robin Berkeley quit her job and left as a yoga instructor in Bali, and when she returned to the States, she launched her own brand of comfortable and beautiful clothes Live The Process. Brand things can easily be put on a yoga class and not removed after. Today they are sold by Barneys and Net-A-Porter, and critics call Live The Process sportswear Alaïa. Berkeley comes up with sports things of sculptural form from high-tech materials: spandex and stretch jersey (the fabric removes moisture and keeps its shape perfectly). For example, Live The Process sports bras are suitable for those who have a chest size larger than a third: bras provide excellent support, and outside the walls of the gym they can be worn as a crop top. This season, Live The Process, in addition to the basic colors of things, has tops in pastel colors, floral print bodysuits and leggings, as well as excellent clutches.

Top and Capri Charli Cohen
Before launching the brand of beautiful sportswear and post-workout clothing, Charlie Cohen practiced t-shirts for 15 years, studied fashion at Kingston University and worked as a personal trainer. The launch of her own luxury sports brand was inspired by Yoji Yamamoto for adidas Y-3. For her first collection, Cohen received a grant from the WGSN Global Fashion Awards, and for the production of the second she collected 30,000 pounds in a month at Kikstarter - and it was worth it. Things Charli Cohen is the perfect intersection of fashion, sport and technology. Cohen clearly breathes unevenly to color blocking, and the basis is black and gray colors - the main ones in minimalism. As for materials, the designer uses a soft technological micropolyamide, which removes moisture and resembles a “second skin”. Stamp items can be ordered at Avenue32.com.

Reebok ZQuick 2.0 Sneakers
Sports companies continue to improve their technology, offering beautiful things that are suitable for an active life in the city. This season Reebok presented a novelty - a collection of Reebok ZQuick sneakers with a light and tenacious sole. Such a model is well suited for running, but the main thing that attracts us is the breathable mesh from which the top is made and which will seem like God's salvation in the heat. In addition, it is concise and beautiful sneakers, which means that immediately after jogging into them you can, without losing time, go - or run - on your business.

Sneakers and Hoodie Adidas by Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney continues to work with adidas. In the adidas by Stella McCartney line, things for running, cycling, swimming and living. For example, such bicycles or a sweatshirt with a draped collar, in theory, the creator, should be worn in yoga classes. But it would be just a shame to wear these things for only two hours three times a week, so we suggest wearing them after class. Or even instead. Thanks to technology Climalite, which wicks moisture and leaves the body dry, they will definitely not be hot. The collection has flexible sneakers with anti-bacterial OrthoLite coating that lets in air.

Nike Tight of the Moment sconces and leggings
Nike released three models of leggings and sconces on which the works of Flavio Samelo and Jael Hudson, photographers from Sao Paulo, were inflicted. Each item combines a photograph of the city, made by Samelo, and a photograph of nature, taken by Hudson. From such a meeting of two worlds, we got abstract prints that turn the leggings and tops of the Nike Pro line into a real statement piece. The items included in the line are made of soft technological material Dri-FIT, so that they are comfortable and not hot, both during training and in the city in the heat. Limited collection - in Moscow it can be purchased in just two shopping centers: Tsvetnoy and Metropolis.

Nike Pro Bra
This season, Nike presented five new models of sconces for practicing various sports - from yoga to running, which are more than able to replace the usual bras. The key model was the Nike Pro Rival Bra, presented in 25 sizes. The sconce design resembles a traditional bra: individual cups with contour foam inserts are made of matte nylon and create the perfect shape of the neckline, the top is almost imperceptible on the body and provides reliable chest support while running, even if you are a proud owner of a fourth-size bust.
Price: Pro Revil Bra $ 65
Nike Sneakers
Three more new items in the fall season. The first one is Nike Air Max Lunar1 sneakers for life: Air Max added innovative foam inside for softness of the sole and redesigned using a seamless solder, so that differently colored and multi-colored materials look like a single canvas. Another important plus is the breathable mesh upper. The second novelty is Pegasus 31 sneakers, still soft and one of the most comfortable for running. In addition, designers have improved the girth of the foot (in the new model, it is firmly fixed), which adds extra energy when running. The latest innovation is the Dynamic Support technology used in LunarGlide running shoes. It looks like two layers of Lunarlon foam in the design of the sole, which "turn on" in those moments when the runner needs support for a smooth roll of the foot. Everything else LunarGlide look so versatile that the best shoes for life in the city can not be found.
