Adidas Originals announces the launch of Ali by adidas, a groundbreaking fashion collection developed in collaboration with Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest and most inspirational athletes of all time.
Ali by adidas includes a complete range of men's styles that will debut in November 2005.
This venture is a natural extension of the research and support that adidas has provided for Ali and his sport over the years.
The line is part of the adidas Sport Heritage division which was created in 2001 for all Originals product development and marketing. adidas Originals products are designated by the Trefoil logo.
Sports legend Muhammad Ali is a true champion - an icon of courage, love and conviction. He is a fighter for justice and peace, and a visionary leader who has always been loud and proud. adidas is the leading sports brand in the world, committed to passion, honesty and innovation.
The capsule collection, Muhammad Ali's first collaborative apparel project ever, was born from extensive research of iconic pieces and images that Muhammad, his fans and the people in his training camp wore in the 1960s and 1970s.
Prominent images from that era inspired strong and graceful graphics, as well as stitch-for-stitch historical staples such as terrycloth polo shirts, hooded sweatshirts and bold graphic t-shirts.

As sports gear goes, biking paraphernalia is not particularly fashionable.
This is underscored during the current Tour de France, starring Lance Armstrong.
Unlike so many other sports, in which form has become as important as function, cycling clothes have remained mostly immune to the allure of ready-to-wear trendiness.
Thus far, no one has witnessed a top cyclist in a time trial wearing a leather-look unitard.
There do not appear to be any do-rags hanging from beneath riding helmets.
There is nothing particularly attractive about cycling shorts, with their strategically placed chamois panels, and the problem with bike jerseys -- with their moisture-wicking capabilities, aerodynamic fit and back pockets for water bottles or energy gel packets -- is that they function as billboards.
There can be an unseemly number of brightly colored logos on a relatively small piece of spandex.
The only time bike clothes entice the eye is when they are worn by actual cyclists engaged in their sport.
As their powerful legs churn and their lean torsos bend low over the handlebars to cut better through the air, cyclists speed by in a rainbow-colored gust of wind. In those moments, they look like beautiful, graceful, high-velocity birds.
