Adidas (Herzogenaurach, Germany) has cut the ribbon on a new women store’s in Cape Town, South Africa featuring softer design elements than what are normally seen in a sports retail store, Business Insider writes.

Designers relied on rounded edges, flowing lines and muted tones in their aim to create a spacious, modern environment, the article says.
