Adidas Celebrates 60!
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 18, 2009 It was 60 years ago today that Adolf Dassler formed what would be at one time the world’s largest athletic outfitter. The brand’s name was formed from his nickname “adi” and the first three letters of his last name “das.” Put them all together and you spell out a brand that has left its mark on some of the greatest moments in sports history.
StreetLevel assembled a quick list of highlights of the brand to celebrate 60 years of the Three Stripes. |

Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 17, 2009Adidas Kegler Super
Posted by Nick Engvall | Jan 13, 2009 A new retro from Adidas makes a return from it’s 80’s roots. The Adidas Kegler Super is one of the most unique kicks from Adidas, it’s the details that set it apart…even now over 20 years later.
The Kegler Super uses the Peg System, which is not just cosmetic, the three variable density pegs can be adjusted, which gives you the option of changing the cushioning level. Another feature that at first look, is often missed is the suede toe guard. Unlike most toe guards, the suede extends all the way to the bottom of the shoe. The white and off white give a vintage feel that is simple, and fitting to the 80’s time period when this shoe was first released. Available now at DavidZ for $100. Detailed shots after the break. |
Adidas Americana Low White/Red-Blue
Posted by George Kiel III | Jan 9, 2009 As part of its 60th Anniversary, Adidas will be releasing most of its classic originals including the Adidas Americana Low.
Coinciding with the model nickname of this sneaker, this colorway features the red, white and blue color scheme of our American Flag. It contains two blue stripes with a red striping in between them. Just like the majority of Adidas sneakers we have seen lately, this sneaker also contains the “60 Years of Soles and Stripes†written on the insole. You can now pick the Adidas Americana Low White/Red-Blue up at Colette. More detailed photos after the jump. |
Adidas Attitude White/Blue-Orange
Posted by George Kiel III | Jan 8, 2009 Since the start of 2009, we have spotted our fair share of Adidas classic sneakers due to this year being Adidas’s 60th anniversary. We have now spotted an Adidas retro that will be making its way back to retailers in its OG colorway.
This Adidas Attitude colored in White/Blue-Orange, worn consistently by Patrick Ewing in the 80s, is obviously inspired by the New York Knicks color scheme similar to the Adidas Metro Attitude NBA we saw in late 2008. It features a predominately white leather upper with orange and blue accents on the side panels, tongue and heel of the sneaker. It is also complimented by a blue midsole and white outsole. To further coincide with the anniversary, the insole features the words, “60 Years of Soles and Stripes†written in orange. Pick your pair up now at Colette. |
