Fresh off the heels of celebrating International Women’s Day, many of us are continuing to think about what it means to support and empower women now and for generations to come. In line with its “Always Original” initiative — an ongoing celebration of originality as told by marginalized voices — adidas just released a new women’s originals that shines light on the accomplishments of talented women and non-binary folks.

Designed in collaboration with graphic designer and illustrator Naomi Otsu, the campaign highlights influential figures like Master of None star, Lena Waithe, founder of MuslimGirl.com, Amani, along with many models, activists and more.

The women’s originals drop features inclusive styles centered around versatility and comfort. Many of the pieces have snap closures and detachable sections for fully customizable clothing that you can style your way. We’re obsessing over these faux leather track pants and this snap-button hoodie, both of which can be converted into cropped styles.

Check out the latest adidas women’s originals collection below.

Perfect for those ‘not too hot, not too cold’ days, this multi-wear hoodie with snap-detachable sleeves and body is a wardrobe MVP. Made with soft, French terry cotton and a drawstring hood, this sweatshirt is perfect for cozying up. Or snap off the bottom half and remove the sleeves to reveal a cropped style and extra, airy feel. Available in sizes XXS-4X.

Always Original Faux Leather Track Pants, $90

Constructed in sleek, faux leather with tearaway snap buttons on the thighs for customizable coverage, you can rock these bottoms as pants or shorts. Pair the front-hem slit pants with sneakers and your favorite tank for a laid back look or style the mid-length shorts with booties and a silky blouse for a chic outfit. Available in sizes XXS-XL.

These sneakers take the chunky trend to new heights with an exaggerated midsole. A leather upper and suede accents make these shoes easy to dress up or down in four unique colors/prints. Available in sizes 5-11.

These wide-leg sweatpants are made for strutting down the sidewalk. Snap closures along the legs let you personalize these pants by popping open a few buttons to show off your sneakers or unbuttoning all the way up for a surprising slit. Did we mention it’s made with 100% recycled materials? Available in sizes XS-4X.

Always Original Faux Leather Track Jacket, $100

A sleeker, edgier version of the classic adidas track jacket we all know and love, this faux leather jacket features snap-detachable sleeves for a fully customizable look. Chic details like ribbed cuffs and visible seams make this jacket for layering or wearing solo. Available in sizes XS-XL.

This story idea came from audience members, like you, who got in touch with us. Email us your Zellers memories or questions about what's next for the brand. We are listening: ask@cbc.ca. Earlier this week, Hudson's Bay Co. announced that it was resurrecting Zellers, the storied Canadian discount retail chain. Founded in London, Ont., in 1931, Zellers eventually expanded across the country. It was acquired by HBC in 1978, and at its peak in the late 1990s, had 350 locations. Zellers's slogan was

River is a dainty dog who loves her treats. She is content to wait patiently as Serena serves her up a hefty slice of watermelon. River has a sweet tooth and a fondness for the juicy fruit. Although this seems like an unusual food to give to a dog, many enjoy watermelon a great deal. Serena has recently taught River to shake a paw and then shake the other on command. But River is too excited to follow the plan. She gets her treat all the same and she savours every mouthful. River is a rescue dog with an incredible story. She was seconds from death when Serena fell in love with her and adopted her, agreeing to provide the care that River needed. Diagnosed with serious health issues and a heart defect, River's first owners were not able to manage the complicated treatment and frequent tests that she would need. They faced the difficult decision to end River's suffering and have her euthanized. Serena is a veterinary assistant and she and her mother had the skill and access to the resources that would allow River to live a decent life. River has been going strong, having had three extra years so far, with no sign of serious trouble. She enjoys free run of a large property and frequent walks in the nearby forest. River also loves canoe rides and lying by the fire at the cottage. She is living her best life and loving her treats.

Maggie Connors of St. John's is making a big mark on the ice this summer. The 21-year-old forward was named to Canada's national women's hockey development team this month after a selection camp with more than 140 of the country's top female players, including many past Olympians. "It's a privilege and an honour at any time to wear the maple leaf, especially after the past two years with everything going on with camps sometimes getting delayed or cancelled," Connors said this week from Calgary,

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Deshaun Watson has reached a settlement with the NFL and will serve an 11-game unpaid suspension and pay a $5 million fine rather than risk missing his first season as quarterback of the Cleveland Browns following accusations of sexual misconduct. Watson was accused of sexual assault and harassment by two dozen women while he played for the Houston Texans. The league had sought to ban him for at least one year for violating its personal conduct policy. As part of the settlemen

Health Canada has approved Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine as a booster dose for children aged five to 11. Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said Friday that getting vaccines up-to-date ahead of the fall is a "top priority." "This booster dose provides a great option to restore protection for this age group, especially for those who are at high risk for illness," she said. The 10-microgram booster dose can be given at least six months after completing a primary series of a

Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed the United States' "ironclad commitment" to the defense of South Korea and Japan in a call with South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin on Friday, the State Department said.

Saskatchewan's first monthly COVID-19 epidemiology report, released Thursday, says 27 people with the virus died from July 17 to Aug. 13. The number of confirmed outbreaks in the province jumped to 46 in this reporting period from three in the previous three weeks. Saskatchewan only tracks outbreaks at long-term care and personal care homes — or where the risk of severe health outcomes is the highest. In those facilities outbreaks are declared when at least one person (a patient, resident or hea

Saskatchewan is preparing to send surgical patients to Calgary to help reduce its backlog — a strategy that's concerning some Alberta surgeons. This week, Saskatchewan's health minister announced the province would temporarily contract a private Calgary clinic in the fall to perform 20-25 knee and hip replacement surgeries a month, though the government wouldn't cover travel costs. "This option would be offered to patients, on a fully voluntary basis, who have waited the longest for their joint

Nova Scotia is expanding a program this fall that gives people in rural areas needing urgent mental health care the option to use a virtual assessment at the hospital. "The new virtual option allows the individuals to get timely access in the communities where they live," Nova Scotia Minister for Youth and Mental Health and Addictions Brian Comer said during the announcement at St. Martha's Regional Hospital in Antigonish, N.S., on Thursday. "It helps to reduce the burden of travel. It connects

Some children across the country have fallen behind on their routine immunizations during the COVID-19 pandemic, with vaccination rates dropping off by several percentage points in some provinces. Pediatricians and other health officials say the decrease in routine immunizations is concerning as cases of polio — a vaccine-preventable disease — emerge in other parts of the world. "As we move forward through the pandemic, we really have to focus on children maintaining and getting these routine im

ZOLOCHIV, Ukraine (AP) — Dr. Ilona Butova almost looks out of place in her neatly pressed lavender scrubs as she walks through a door frame that hangs from a crumbled wall into what used to be an administrative office of her hospital in Zolochiv. Not one building in the facility in the northeastern Ukrainian town near the Russian border has escaped getting hit by artillery shells. Since Russia's invasion on Feb. 24, space to treat patients at the hospital has shrunk constantly because of damage.

The central Newfoundland town of Gander is working with its local Muslim community to establish the town's first mosque — and to retain Muslim doctors. Gander Mayor Percy Farwell and Dr. Mohamed Barasi, director of the Central Newfoundland Islamic Community, said Wednesday they hope a mosque will encourage Muslim doctors to stay in the region. Farwell says there are several internationally trained Muslim doctors working in Gander, and in the past, the town has had difficulties convincing them to

Europe's embrace of millions of Ukrainians who fled Russia's invasion showed that it's possible to welcome large numbers of asylum-seekers, and the approach should be replicated to receive those fleeing other nations, the head of the U.N. refugee agency said.

Big changes could lie ahead for the ranges of whales like narwhals, bowheads and belugas that rely on cold water and sea ice, suggests a new study from the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. These Arctic whales will move further north by the end of this century as sea ice fades and water temperatures rise, the study predicts. By 2100, the southern limits of Arctic whales' distribution areas could move roughly 250 kilometres north in summer and roughly 125 kilometres north in winter. Norma

He was transferred to Saskatoon, but then airlifted to Ontario when Saskatchewan's ICU's became overwhelmed during the fourth wave in the fall. Then he was transferred back to Saskatoon. In total,
