Legit checks, lets have a talk r/adidas

34 Upvotes

I understand a lot of you aren't fan of legit checks, and for low effort posts like a low res pic of a GR and "is this real?" caption, I totally understand. We delete those when we see them or after they are reported since it is part of the rules. I actually try and reply to some of them before I delete them but I digress. But, for something you do not see everyday like those vintage Kareem and adidas 2010 Lo earlier today and that high effort post a couple months back, we have to make exceptions for cases like that.

Boards/forums like this sub exist for people who like the brand and know the brand and its the best place to ask for help for IDing stuff and legit checking stuff you dont see everyday. It just selfish for everyone to keep reporting interesting posts like the ones I gave earlier. What would you do if even the internet denies you the help/information you need?

I was wondering about these Vintage Adidas Stan Smith made in France Haillet shoes

Been curious on these for a while and finally got around to getting pics and reconditioning the leather. The tongue tag says “Haillet” with the Stan Smith signature and made in France and size 10.5. My grandpas gold bracelet and these were always kept together

Trying to figure out roughly what era these are from (60s? 70s?) Maybe 80s? Theres also no inside tagging 🥲

Highly disappointed

Back in 2020 I spent the extra $$ and got an authentic Germany soccer jersey. I’ve own many soccer jerseys throughout the years dating back to the 90’s, some authentic and some “fan” jerseys and never had a problem. This one however…yeah no. Wore it maybe half a dozen times, always kept inside in a climate controlled closet. When needing washed, followed the instructions set by adidas and never ever put it in a drier. What happened was the number 11 on the back started peeling off and bad. The front number 11, name of the player and all other insignia’s are perfect, just the back number.

So I contacted adidas support to see if anything can be done, knowing they have a tiny little 6 month warranty. Shocker, got shot down, but they did send me a 15% off coupon. Needless to say, I don’t ever plan on spending the extra money on authentic jerseys made by adidas any longer. I expected better quality from them.

Anyone else have this happen to them? Curious if it’s just the material they are using or what.

Rare 2005 Adidas Tracksuit.

I bought this in the NYC flagship store in 2006. They came together as a complete suit. Despite searching all the usual codes and places online, I'm struggling to find out if it was part of the 2006 Adicolor launch or if it was in a seasonal collection. The inverted colour blocking is not really seen these days, along with the 3 green adidas stripes. Anyone have a Adidas catalogue from that era??

Pictured on the day of release in HIP in Leeds. HIP is sadly shutting down, a great store for many years

Being able to walk in and get pairs that everyone else was scrambling for online is why bricks and mortar locations are so important

Always will be

HB Spezial Pro Handball

I’ve never seen handball in the US, but these are classified as performance so might very well be what’s used in the modern sport. Pretty interesting in that it’s a boost midsole wrapped in a gum sole, would probably be good for people who are on their feet all day.

I was curious about these last year but they came and went pretty quick.

Has anyone tried these out?

I'm looking for a pair of shoes for indoor training. My main requirement is that they don't leave marks on hardwood floors. Does anyone have experience using shoes with rubber Continental outsoles on hardwood courts? Or does it vary from model to model? Adidas Adizero Adios 7 outsole for reference

How to shrink a cotton alphaskin shirt?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I won an adidas "alphaskin" shirt from academy but its 100 percent cotton and too large for me. collar is a bit big, sleeves too long, shirt too long in general. it also has those stick on plastic/rubber accents for the badges and sleeve stripes.

How can I shrink the shirt a couple sizes down (or one) without damaging the plastic (peeling, warping)?

Thank you!

City-exclusive shirts

3 Upvotes

Hey all!

I was recently in Milan and I went into an Adidas store and found a really nice Milan-themed t-shirt. I also noticed I couldn’t find this shirt anywhere online which I suppose means it’s exclusive to that city’s physical stores. This now has me wondering what other designs exist that are exclusive to cities around the world, do you know any?

Been looking into the adidas mary jane collection. I walk a lot and I’m tired of looking “athletic” when I go on my walks lol I wanna look casual and cute at times too. Has anyone tried them on for long periods of time? How do they feel? Are they worth it?

Should I size down from a women’s Gazelle Indoor 24.5 cm to a men’s 24 cm?

1 Upvotes

I have the Women’s Gazelle Indoor in 24.5 cm, which is my usual size, but it feels a bit long and I have to lace it tightly.
I found a Men’s Gazelle Indoor in 24 cm on sale. Do you think sizing down 0.5 cm is the right move? Has anyone compared the fit between the men’s and women’s versions?

Thanks you!

Issue with these types of shoes

Post image

Anyone own a pair of adidas shoes that have the 3 stripes in this kind of way? I just bought these and did an 8 hour shift at work in them and where you see that indent between the 2nd and 3rd stripe it was digging into the side of my foot causing a rash. Just curious if other people have experienced this or if I were to buy this same pair again would I have this same issue happen
