A dormant giant awakens. The adidas Originals Dublin ‘Brown’ – size? exclusive winks away the sleep crust from its eyelets and gives itself a nice varnish for the contemporary ‘City Series’ pundit. First released back in ’76, the Dublin originally came to life in blue and orange – colours reflective of the burning castles on the Irish capital’s Coat of Arms. This time, though, the adidas Originals Dublin calls back around in one of its much rarer but certainly not underappreciated ‘Brown’ colourways.

Mature in its age as well as its look, our size? exclusive opts for a peaty, aged-oak aesthetic for its uppers – which make a full-suede return. The slimline tongue keeps things tonal and radiates Originals heritage, while colour coordinated 3-Stripes guard the sidewalls. Gum sole cushioning makes for a cosy inner fit with hardened outer grip, while hallmark gold foiling etches off on the laterals for a nectar-tinted finish.

Last night we kicked off the launch at The Cobblestone in Dublin, but you can still commune with us tonight in Liverpool at Spike Island for the UK launch event of an archival 3-Stripes legend (live music and pints aplenty, of course).
