Adidas swimsuit models

I wonder why adidas would choose this model for women’s swimwear?

Regardless of their sex/gender, I want to see what the clothes look like on a typical female body - ie one where the hips are larger than the waist - so this isn’t useful for me.

Looks like I won’t be buying an adidas swimsuit then 🙄

Adidas give you the option to search by gender, but not by sex….surely it would make sense to be able to search just for suits to fit a female (or male) body?!

My rule of thumb is that the longer the acronym, the less it has to do with lesbians. Which would fit here.

Absolutely. Let’s face it, the only ‘honouring’ is from T onwards.

How does that honour lesbians? Did they ask to be honoured in this way? Were they clamouring at the doors of Adidas demanding that a man model a swimsuit for them?

Looks like this a swimsuit designed for men? As there is a man wearing it and it seems to adequately accommodate his anatomy.

It’s part of a special collection - The adidas x Rich Mnisi Pride collection is one part of our effort to honor the LGBTQIA+ community, alongside our Global Purpose partner, Athlete Ally.
