The Love Unites collection features a matching track top, tracksuit bottoms and shorts, all with a doodle print design by Small.
He says he wanted the designs to be “a bit of reworking of the traditional rainbow / pride visual we are so used to seeing”.
Other pieces include a pair of overalls, four t-shirts and hoodies as well as accessories including slides, socks, a backpack and cap.

A standout from the Adidas Pride range are the reimagined versions of the brand’s classic silhouettes.
This includes the popular Superstar shoes, which feature a cartoon design by Small and the Grand Court Cloudfoam shoes, which feature the colours of the trans flag.
There’s also the Campus 80s, Nizza, Ultraboost 5.0 DNA and Retropy E5 shoes which have all been updated for Pride.
Discussing the collection, Small said: “From a concept point of view I really wanted this collection to celebrate all the amazing sides of being queer and celebrating how far we as a community have come.
“But also reminding people that there are still so many people in the community that are vulnerable and repressed.”

The brand has also confirmed continued partnerships with Athlete Ally, which is focused on ending homophobia and transphobia in sport and Stonewall UK.
