A NEW big-name brand will be setting up shop in the Swindon Designer Outlet next week.

Sportswear giant adidas is taking up a sizeable space of the MacArthur Glen site.

Shoppers have spotted hoardings advertising the upcoming arrival.

A spokesman said: "adidas is the height of cool from its sportswear right through to its fashion lines.

"The adidas logo is recognised as a symbol of quality sports footwear all over the world. Whether it's running, football, tennis or golf, adidas uses the latest technology to give its customers an extra edge when they take to the field.

"From retro styles like its famous Samba shoe to its more fashionable Style range, adidas is more than just a sports brand. Its styles have become a staple of the fashion world and an icon of pop culture."

The outlet's Facebook page suggested the latest addition to the popular retail destination will be welcoming its first customers on Friday.

It will be in good company when it joins the outlet, with competitors like Nike, Puma and Under Armour nearby.
