Adidas Superstars
Originally released in 1969 as a Basketball shoe. The original colours were white with navy/red/black 3 stripes. They have been produced in countless colourways since.
The rarest of the superstars are the A Bathing Ape collaboration in 2003. 3 colourways were released and there were only 1,500 pairs in total. If you can get your hands on a pair they can fetch up to a monkey, or 500quid to anyone norf of Watford
Adidas Campus
Our favourite sneaker of all time, it reminds me of the days I used to skate back in the early 90ís.
The originals were produced in the 1970ís again as a basketball shoe. It is more famously associated with hip hop, it was the beastie boys sneaker of choice.
Since those days there have been various Campus colourways and collaboration with the NBA
Adidas Forest Hills
The Forest Hill was original released in the 70's as a tennis shoe, weighting in at only 250g making them very popular in the world of sport. The shoe really found its fame in the 1980ís when it was worn week in, week out by British football fans aka The Casuals going to the match. The most desirable colour way was the Yellow sole, with gold stripes.
Adidas Micropacer
This was a running shoe, and the most high tech sneak ever to hit the market in 1984. The technology contained in its sole was way ahead of its time. The sensor could calculate distance, average pace and even count calories burnt.
The originals were silver & grey. There were a limited edition in black & gold, but these are as rare as rocking horse.....
Adidas Kegler Super
Adidas again used advanced technology in the Kegler with the peg system, this allows the wearer to customise the shoes cushioning. These timeless bad boys were again released in the 80ís as a multipurpose training shoe.
There was a limited re-issue in 2004, only 100 pairs were made with ostrich leather and gold pegs.
Adidas Adicolor
These were a basketball shoe released in the 80's, but adidas gave the wearer the opportunity to customise the leather upper.
The original came with 8 different coloured marker pens allowing the wearer to go to town on them. More recently they have gone one better with a full sneaker artist set.
Adidas Forum
This was the 1st real sneaker to have status; it was released in 1984 and had a massive price tag of a 100Bucks!
Adidas had used some innovative ideas with the ankle strap and the webbed midsole.
Adidas ZX 500
This was a serious running shoe, released in 1986. It had TPU heel counter for stability and an EVA midsole.
This shoe was extremely popular in the 80ís and has been re-issued in a wide range of colourways.
Nike Cortez
This sneak was released in 1972 when Nike was still called Blue Ribbon Sports. The Cortez was a very popular shoe and is still available today. It found itís fame when Tom Hanks wore these in Forrest Gump.
Nike Waffle
This was bascially Nike's first production running shoe released in 1974.
It's called the Waffle Trainer because the rubber sole concept was developed by Nike founder Bill Bowerman experimenting with a standard domestic waffle iron.....Mm-mmm Yummy!
Sometimes this shoe is mistaken for the Nike Cortez.
