Described by the German sportswear maestro as ‘a breath of fresh air’, the adidas Racing 1 trainer ushers new life into the brand’s lauded footwear lineup. Though only birthed in 2021, the design packs nostalgia aplenty and its debut colourway, a vividly-dressed gold and blue beauty, sold out like hot cakes when it landed on our doorstep just a few weeks ago. But are you wondering what’s so special about this latest adi’ arrival? Let’s take a closer look…

Arriving imminently at Aphrodite in a red / core black / cloud white palette, the brand-new racer takes design cues from retro ‘70s runners which is why certain old-school accents of the shoe shouldn’t startle you. Soft suede overlays station up at the shoe’s vamp and heel while those synonymous 3-Stripes serrate on the sidewall – two key throwback touches that will have you wandering down memory lane and seeking out the track.

Featuring dark punctuation that cascades over its lacing system, heel panel and sidewall, the adidas Racing 1 trainer carries upper body contrast and added dimension in pinpoint areas. Meanwhile, the situation underfoot embraces the new with a cellular rubber midsole that yields reference to the bulkier trainer silhouettes we see dominating the scene currently. Also positioned underfoot are deeply indented rubber lugs, adding enhanced grip to the shoe’s foundation, and overall, providing a much smoother ride through the city streets.

Do these crimson creps take your fancy? Well then keep your eyes peeled for the adidas Racing 1 trainers in red / core black / cloud white landing at Aphrodite very soon.
