INSIDE THE ADIDAS SNEAKER ARCHIVE

 

 

So little time, so many shoes...

We were surrounded by vintage gems including Lendls, Edbergs, Oregons, EQTs, ZXs,  Ewings, SL72s, Concords, Made in France Superstars, Pro Models, Micropacers, Stan Smiths, Super Skates, Gazelles, Torsions and even some mysterious hybrids. Rack upon rack was exploding with old-school adi-freshness. From the brightest, most extreme trackies to tiny ‘80s style running shorts, hectic swimwear, ponchos and everything else in between... this is the stuff sneakerhead folklore is made of!

Like the first time you get lucky, it all happened way too fast and after a frantic burst, we were out of breath and as excited, confused and perplexed as we’d ever been. There were so many amazing things we simply couldn’t stop for names, rank and serial numbers, but we had been where few have been before – most adidas employees aren’t even given the chance to witness this place in person!

So what are we waiting for? Pour yourself an ice cold Schöfferhofer, slap on the bratwurst, pull out the pretzels, set your iTunes to ‘My Adidas’ and throw on your freshest ZX to experience just a fraction of the magic we found in the adidas archive. Prost!
