adidas Originals Brings Archival and Contemporary Sneaker Silhouettes in One Collection

Featured

adidas Originals pays tribute to some of its most foundational silhouettes, bringing essential sneakers – both archival and contemporary – into a single collection identified as Home of Classics. The classic footwear pack is a representation of 50 years of the brand’s expertise with white leather sneakers, reimagined for present day.

Celebrating the enduring visual language of the adidas Originals archive and rendering the classic silhouettes in pinnacle crisp, white leather form, the Home of Classics features the following silhouettes: the Superstar 80s sneaker, Stan Smith sneaker, Supercourt sneaker, Continental 80 sneaker, and finally, the Supercourt 90s.

Featuring subtle adjustments to one of the brand’s most beloved silhouettes – released in 1970, the Superstar was the first leather basketball shoe – the Superstar 80s silhouette features classic Superstar design in its purest form, with all-white construction and a full leather lining.

Similarly, the Stan Smith silhouette offers the world’s most timeless tennis silhouette – first released in 1973 and worn by the tennis legend namesake – in an undisrupted, all-white form, from its signature perforated stripes to its heel tab and tongue.

The Home of Classics Supercourt model represents 50 years of adidas court experience, taking numerous design elements from the archive and blending them in a modern expression of a classic style. Featuring a textured construction in white atop a classic rubber outsole, the Supercourt silhouette brings the archive to life for a new generation.

First designed in France in 1986 – but made for the U.S. –  the recently re-issued Continental 80  model is heritage, remixed. Appearing in the Home of Classics pack with a tonal colorway, Trefoil logo window, and tone-on-tone stripe detail, the Home of Classics Continental 80 silhouette is its most pared-down iteration yet.

Viewed as a whole, the silhouettes within the Home of Classics collection are a documentation of some of adidas Originals’ most influential creations and a celebration of how far people take these timeless designs. These shoes built for the court serve as a testament to the continued creation of modern classics today, offering each wearer a chance to take part in adidas’ rich legacy and leave their mark on the future.
