Description
Iconic streetwear heritage meets contemporary sportswear in this bold adidas zip-up, defined by its signature contrast sleeve stripes.
The adidas Stripes Arme Zip-Fastening Sweatshirt is a confident statement piece rooted in the brand’s deep sportswear DNA. Drawing from adidas Originals’ archive of athletic silhouettes, this sweatshirt features the unmistakable contrast stripes running down the sleeves — a design code that has become synonymous with the trefoil’s legacy since its introduction in the early 1970s. The French designation “arme” references the signature arm stripe detailing, a hallmark of classic adidas track-influenced apparel.
Constructed with a full-length central zip closure and a relaxed athletic fit, this sweatshirt delivers both versatility and ease. The stand-up collar offers a sharp, structured neckline that frames the face while providing extra warmth and a polished finish. Ribbed cuffs and hem ensure the garment retains its shape wear after wear, while the brushed fleece interior provides that essential layer of softness against the skin.
Whether layered over a classic tee or worn solo, this piece channels the effortless cool that has made adidas a global cultural icon spanning sport, music, and street style for generations.
