Look out for the Spring/Summer 2006 collection as Adidas continue to drive innovation with Stella McCartney, changing the face of ladies' fashion in sport.

One of the hot areas is tennis, as Stella comments, "When I think of summer sports I immediately think about Tennis, as one of the highlight sports of the season. A Tennis line is something I always wanted to tackle and I am really excited to introduce this new category for the spring/summer 2006 collection".

"Tennis is a very fashion-conscious sport and a fantastic platform for my collaboration with Adidas. For this unique Tennis line we combined function and style with an element of cheeky femininity and I can't wait to see it on court."

The latest shoe from the partnership is the a3 Flyride. It has been designed exclusively for women and is built on Adidas' special women's last, providing cushioning and comfort for ladies on the run.

“I am honored to be given the opportunity to work with such an incredible technology. We have achieved a groundbreaking product: The a³ Flyride is a truly innovative women's performance product and hopefully the best looking running shoe out there!” stated Stella.

Stella McCartney's Adidas range will be appearing in Spring 2006 in leading sport performance stores as well as Stella McCartney stores.
