adidas by Stella McCartney launched with a spring/summer collection in February 2005, and it has run for two decades since, which places it among the longest partnerships between a fashion designer and a sportswear company. The remit from the start was performance rather than lifestyle: running, tennis, yoga and swim, built for women and designed rather than simply resized.
The environmental angle arrived later and has since become the line's defining constraint. The SolarGlide sits on an adidas neutral running platform, and the version made for this partnership builds its Primeknit upper from yarn spun out of recycled ocean plastic.
This pair sets black against bliss green, a pale mint that recurs across the collection, and came in March 2022 at $200. That is well above what a standard SolarGlide asks, which is the trade the line has always made: adidas engineering underneath, a designer's palette and material rules on top, and a price reflecting both.
