The Tobacco by adidas Originals is a true terrace classic! First released in 1972 as part of an all round leisure/lifestyle range, it brought a sophisticated flair to the market when it was introduced. Similar in many ways to a lot of other early adidas releases, like the original Gazelle and the City collection (particularly the London), the Tobacco is a relatively lightweight, slimline silhouette that benefits from the comfort of a gum sole unit.

The shoe’s design is classic ‘70’s adidas; subtle and clean, which is probably why it’s one of the most desirable models from the adidas back catalogue, especially with the older adi heads.

A long time favorite with the casual scene because of it’s tonal 3-Stripe branding, we’ve seen some nice leather versions out so far this year but it’s in it’s original hairy suede form that the Tobacco is most sought-after.

Released as a size? exclusive as part as our Adi’s Archive collaboration series with adidas Originals, the wheat/titanium grey-brown Tobacco will be available from stores and online next Friday (2^nd March) and to celebrate it’s return we also have a very limited run of collectable Adi’s Archive scrapbooks and postcard sets available to people buying the Tobacco from any of our 22 stores. More details to follow, in the meantime enjoy the pic.
