Born in 1949, the adidas Samba is the brand’s longest-running model in production – and with good reason. How else could the Three Stripes keep everyone from indoor soccer players to fashion models happy? An “it” shoe of the last year, the Samba has lived more lives than we can count.
2023 could very well be the year of the adidas Campus. In addition to collaborating with the likes of Bad Bunny and BAPE, the classic recently ushered in one of its most ambitious redesigns yet: the Campus 00s. Combining both Y2K and skate influences, the model’s oversized proportions do well to capture the energy of the turn-of-the-century.
Bringing a titular aesthetic to their training solutions of the late 60s, the adidas Gazelle has been endeared by a number of cultural spaces, from the pitch to the floors of rock concerts. Alongside collaborations with Gucci and Sean Wotherspoon, an expansive slate of general release options help to uphold the Gazelle’s timeless legacy.
