Nothing compares to the sporting style and quality of vintage adidas trainers. Did you favour the adidas LA, the Stan Smith or another style? It's time to dig out your vintage adidas shoes, recall your favourites, and see if you agree with my top ten vintage adidas styles of all time.
66. adidas SL72
The SL72 is a well loved style of vintage adidas. First introduced for the 1972 Munich Olympics, this iconic vintage trainer has an unforgettable profile and all the style of a winner. The soles are track-inspired with excellent traction. The SL72 was a breathable hardwearing shoe with classic adidas branding.
A.d.i.d.a.s. I have worn a pair of your shoes, a hat, shirt, pants, hoody…. something with your logo on it. Therefore when i was 14 years of age i tattooed the 3 stripes on my forearm which has become my trademark tattoo (one of many i have). Want to show u how deep my devotion runs for your company….
Ha ha ha ha looking for a free pair of trainers, you’ll be lucky. Good Luck
What about adidas jeans the premier shoe
Wouldn’t be my top ten and Stan Smith wouldn’t make it top 20.
The peg system predates the LA olympics by years, pretty poor research there.
Do you have a source? Happy to stand corrected but I’m pretty sure the “Vario shock” absorption system was released in the early 80s.
Original LA Trainer was Adidas Los Angeles from the 80s
Yes i have a pair of 1986 Adidas firebrid with the removable pads the have never been worn Excellent condition. They are up for sale .taken best offer
Cut the author some slack chaps, great site and much appreciated. Bring back the pegs I say!!!!!
Why put them moody forest hills in. 80s ones were the nuts. No munches or nastase, monaco. Moodiest top 10 ever.
Adidas needs to rerun production of the 1960’s Italia shoe…one of the alltime greatest and coolest training shoes ever. Why wouldn’t adidas bring back the green stripe W/crosshatch and flapped Italian? It would be a great selling success!
Any idea where you can get these in a UK 10? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Adidas-Originals-Country-OG-Shoes-Core-Black-Solar-Orange-RRP-65-/172063623283?var=470916013125&hash=item280fca8873:m:mCRzM6VCA4AMqs3rkguNelA
Superstar at number one? Really?
No milanos, spezials or the holy grail that is the rouge!
How can I find a pair of Addidas SL 76 size 11 or 12 . I will pay almost anything for them .
I woke up, I slipped my brown suede superstars on this mourning. My wife says, you the only person in the world who buys the same shoes over again. I told her MY ADIDAS…..
I AGREE SUPERSTARS NUMBER #1
for me the 80’s all black trainers with massive tongue are and always will be the best, the re issue ones are ok but i’d love to find some now from the 80’s. i wore them to death back in the day
