THE ACTIVEWEAR EDIT

ENGINEERED MOVEMENT

Nike’s latest Tech Pack collection is all about body movement and functionality. The range features a diverse offering of pieces with strategic cut-outs and knit and woven materials that have been engineered and designed to move with the body and allow for a full range of motion. “We wanted to redefine Tech Pack as more of a head-to-toe collection, introducing new styles and materials, allowing for a new and more expressive connection to sport,” said senior design director Ricky Hendry. www.nike.com/ZA

THE P.O.D RUNNER

The Adidas Originals P.O.D is a new style that merges three innovations from the past to create footwear that combines the core components of a technical running shoe with the aesthetics of a streetwear-ready sneaker. The P.O.D (Point of Deflection system), which is a nod to mid-’90s running technology, fuses a high-rebound EVA forefoot, BOOST heel and Point of Deflection bridge to create a shoe that is built to enhance natural motion and comfort.

THE NEW SLIDE

Puma’s iconic Fierce silhouette has a brand-new look with its latest iteration, the Fierce Slide – a sleek sneaker-slide hybrid. Style meets functionality in this versatile footwear which features a fully knitted, lightweight upper with an ultracomfortable, sock-like fit, and a slidelike strap that works to keeps the shoe in place, day-in and day-out.
