The Adidas Campus 00s, new trendy shoes from Adidas ?
Flourishing period for the brand with the three stripes! After the hype around the Sambas and the strong comeback of the Gazelle , it's the turn of the Adidas Campus to invade our social networks. Have Adidas found their next Stan Smith ?
The origin of the Adidas Campus
Lately, a trend is popular for major trainers retailers: taking their 80s models out of the closet and imagining them in their 2000s version.
This is particularly the case for the Adidas Campus . Adidas imagined this shoe at the end of the 1970s in order to establish itself in the world of basketball. It incorporates the characteristics of two of its flagship models: the suede upper of the Gazelle and the look of the Superstar. Upon its release, yet another reference to the world of sport, the famous sports brand named this Adidas sneaker “The Tournament”.
However, success will not take. So, Adidas renamed it “ Campus ” and it was another world that allowed this Adidas trainer to gain popularity. The Adidas Campus 80s has quickly become a popular choice for fans of streetwear and hip-hop culture.
At the time, we could see breakdancers or rappers setting their sights on the Adidas Campus 00 , before also reaching the world of skateboarding. Adidas will even reissue this trainer this time with a thinner sole, to suit skate enthusiasts and adhere perfectly to the board.
Despite everything, it will not be able to match the other models from the German equipment manufacturer in terms of success and sales volumes. Although deeply rooted in hip-hop culture and having a rich cultural heritage, the Adidas Campus 80s shoe remained a little-known model for a long time.
When it was released, it failed to achieve iconic status among the brand's most famous models such as the Sambas, the Gazelles or the Stan Smiths. However, seen under a certain eye, this allowed the Campus to become sneakers reserved for initiates, appreciated only by connoisseurs and to establish itself as an underground icon for trainers addicts, as with the Adidas Campus 80s South Park Towelie model, For example.
Today, the reissue of these campus trainers quickly found its audience. Indeed, for several weeks, we can see Adidas Campus 00s trainers everywhere on social networks, but also on the feet of all celebrities.
The design of the Adidas Campus 00s
As for the Campus 00s , it wears, like all the pairs designed by Adidas , the iconic three stripes . This features a soft suede upper as well as a foam insole, which makes this pair very comfortable. The outsole of the shoe is made of rubber, giving the Adidas Campus 00 this retro style and suitable for skateboarding.
However, Adidas did not want to play in the credits when it comes to the colors this model is adorned with. You can choose between, in particular, an Adidas Campus 00s light blue , yellow, red and orange! For those who like classic trainers , a gray, black and brown version still exists.
How to wear the Adidas Campus 00s?
