BE TRUE TO YOURSELFTHIS BACK-TO-SCHOOL SEASONWITH ADIDAS ORIGINALS

Since the UltraBOOST’s debut in 2015, adidas has reinvented the runner many a time over. Alongside tweaking its weave pattern with every subsequent edition, the brand has rapidly expanded the shoe’s catalog with high profile collabs and numerous inline styles. And despite a recent pivot to performance, the silhouette continues to offer attractive lifestyle releases, many of which are inspired by beloved colorways from the past. From “Core Black” to “Oreo,” these pairs are a solid choice whether you’re heading back to the office or kicking off another school year.

Built for nomads, the NMD series has been a lifestyle counterpart to the game-changing Ultra Boost. Over the years, the shoe has undergone updates—both subtle and drastic—with its V3 iteration breathing new life into the shoe. Collaborations with Star Wars and others are sure to keep the line exciting for years to come.

Before adidas would service the many events of track and field, the sportswear brand made a name for themselves through football (or soccer as it’s commonly referred to here in the states). This is all thanks to the Samba, as it would go on to lead the West Germany football team to victory at the 1954 World Cup, effectively putting the Three Stripes on the map. The iconic sneaker laid the groundwork for subsequent releases – such as the Gazelle, Copa Nationale Millennium, etc. – all of which are a solid pick, whether you’re a fan of the sport or not.
