adidas Japan

Pure minimalism with an Olympic story - adidas Japan

Are you searching for sneakers that will undoubtedly make you stand out from the crowd while also embracing a clean retro design? The adidas Japan sneakers are currently one of the hottest hidden treasures from the three stripes' archive. Originally created for the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 as training shoes for elite athletes, we bring you this vintage piece at Queens, ready to elevate your everyday style to a new level.

A low-profile gem that replaces the Samba models

If you enjoy modern trends such as blockecore or terrace culture, but find the ubiquitous Samba or Gazelle silhouettes a bit tiresome, adidas Japan is the clear choice for you. They feature an extremely low profile, a thin rubber sole, and the iconic T-toe tip. The upper made of premium soft leather or luxurious suede perfectly conforms to the foot, making the shoe fit almost like a second skin. At Queens, we appreciate them for their incredible versatility – they pair beautifully with wide baggy jeans, cargo pants, and summer shorts.

Interesting facts that will captivate you:

• Born in Tokyo 1964: The shoes were specifically designed for athletes at the summer Olympics in Japan over 60 years ago.
• The perfect alternative: They offer the same elegant and narrow retro shape as other popular silhouettes, but you will rarely encounter them on the streets. A true unique piece for all sneaker enthusiasts.
• Heel loop: The faithful retro reissue retains the specific textile heel loop, making it easier to put on and giving the shoe an authentic vintage look.
• High version VH: In addition to the low classic, the adidas Japan VH (Very High) version has also shaken the fashion world – an ultra-high shoe inspired by boxing rings that has become a massive hit on social media.
