Sports have long influenced the way we dress. From 1980s tennis-inspired outfits to the more recent craze for sneakers, sportswear has dominated the catwalks and the streets. Sports brands often collaborate with luxury-goods companies to create limited-edition products that appeal to a younger generation, such as the Louis Vuitton 'Christopher' backpack in collaboration with Supreme. Meanwhile, streetstyle brand Off-White, founded by Virgil Abloh in 2013, has transformed rucksacks, backpacks and bum bags, as well as T-shirts and tracksuits, into sought-after fashion statements.
