From Training Camp to Campus: An adidas Origin Story

Form follows function. This applies to almost all adidas sneakers. Many of the most popular kicks were originally released as sports shoes. The same applies to the adidas Campus, which was released in 1972 as a low-top basketball shoe - at the time still under the name adidas Tournament. However, as high-tops soon became the standard on the court, adidas stopped selling the trainers shortly afterwards.

The 80s brought with them a new era of sneakers: silhouettes in a sporty style reached the subcultures and thus street style status. Adidas joined the movement and in 1987 brought out an updated version of the Tournament with a new title - the Campus was born. The colorways of these adidas Originals are characterized by white adidas stripes and a high-quality upper in clear colors such as navy, green or light blue.

The adidas Campus quickly became a sneaker milestone in street culture. The skater scene in particular appreciated the comfort of the stylish shoe, whose rubber outsole and reinforced toe box provided the necessary support. But the adidas Campus was also one of the hottest kicks in hip hop - and was immortalized as a pop culture icon on the cover of the Beastie Boys album "Check Your Head".

Style of the Times – The top models from the adidas Campus

When you think of adidas Campus, you think of the old school look. The current adidas Campus 80s are a remake of everything that made the sneakers famous 40 years ago - and are therefore the most popular Campus model. An update: the suede upper makes way for nubuck leather. Both upper materials belong to the suede category - but nubuck is a little finer and gives the sneakers a softer, more elegant surface. We love it!

Skater boys and girls, on the other hand, are particularly fond of the adidas Campus 00s: because true to its name, the silhouette is particularly reminiscent of the kicks from the wild 2000s. The eye-catcher: the wider tongue, which makes the shoe look chunkier in the best possible way. In terms of color, the Campus 00s mainly features color blocking in college style - with colorways like *Core Black / Power Red / Off White* or *Spice Yellow / Cloud White / Off White*.

A Base for Creativity: The Campus Classic Reimagined

adidas sneakers stand for creative diversity - and with its crazy collabs, adidas continues to expand its fame. These include the sneaker designs with the rapper Bad Bunny, who recently restyled one of the Campus 80s trainers. The main features of the adidas Campus x Bad Bunny shoe: roughened suede, double tongue and heel details and the wave-shaped outsole that covers parts of the upper.

In addition, the adidas Campus was part of the "adilicious" collection - a project by the brand that aimed to connect sneakers and food culture. The unique colorways of the shoes are based on famous restaurants from around the world, for example: the adidas Campus *Kolam*, whose bright colors reflect the diversity of the Sri Lankan food and catering studio. A sneaker that clearly belongs in the "unique" category.
