This capsule collection isn’t just another drop — it’s an adidas Terrex release, exclusively available in Asia and at Zalando. Here’s what else makes it a must-have for the summer months.

At a glance

Minimalist. Functional. Ultra-modern. That’s the first impression. But this capsule goes beyond the buzzwords. Drawing on the quiet confidence of Japanese minimalism and the futuristic edge of modern design, it brings together signature adidas tech with clean, street-ready silhouettes. It’s built for the outdoors, sure, but just as comfortable navigating the city. Effortless, elevated, and made for an active day.

The key pieces

It may be a small collection, but it covers all the summer essentials. Standout pieces include the white Polygiene tee, black Multi Water Repellent shorts, black Multi Aeroready short sleeve, olive green Xploric DWR shorts, and black MT DWR pants.

A closer look

Now that we’ve got the basics covered, it’s time to get up close. Like every adidas Terrex drop, this one delivers on functionality — think water-repellent finishes, fabrics that keep you dry and cool, and adjustable features like drawstrings and buttons. But it’s the design that takes things to another level. Rooted in Japanese minimalism and futurism, the aesthetic leans into understated elegance: clean lines, loose fits, and a versatile colour palette of deep black, crisp white, and muted olive green. Everyday staples, elevated.

Here’s what makes each piece stand out: the white Polygiene tee features a bold graphic on the back, while the black Aeroready tee comes with an adjustable drawstring hem. Shorts are loaded with pockets, reflective details, and water-repellent tech to handle surprise summer showers. And the multifunctional pants? Also water-repellent — of course — and they convert into shorts when the heat kicks in.

Why we love it

There are plenty of reasons to love it, so we asked our very own sports buyer Lilly Schumann to break it down for us.

First up: not everyone will be wearing it. “Its exclusive availability in Asia and at Zalando makes it rare in Europe,” Lilly explains. In other words: These pieces are grails in the making — so better be quick before they’re gone.

Second: it’s built for everyday wear, everywhere. “For me, this drop is a must-have because it fuses technical outdoor performance with progressive Japanese design,” she explains. “Designed for general outdoor activities and camping, most pieces feature a hydrophobic finish and are made from wrinkle-free, breathable fabrics. This makes the collection incredibly versatile — you can wear it wherever you want. This seamless integration of outdoor functionality into everyday wear is a trend first seen in Japan, where technical garments are a natural part of everyday wardrobes.”

Lilly said it best — functional, rare, and ready to wear on repeat.

You need it if…

…you’re looking to move effortlessly between city streets and the outdoor escapes. No more outfit changes between urban explorations and nature breaks — this drop delivers on both ends.

Not sure which piece to grab first? Here’s Lilly’s pick: “I'm most excited about the shorts because they're incredibly easy to style. You can dress them up or down, making them a go-to piece for different occasions. And even though they're not labelled unisex, they work for both genders, which adds to their universal appeal.”
