A prolific pair in which Adi Dassler himself worked on the design blueprint, we trace even further back into the past for our third size? exclusive release in our ongoing Archive series with adidas Originals – all the way back to 1978 – when the TRX made its debut almost half a century ago. 

No stranger to multiple alterations over the years, a fair few of them our own unique takes, the adidas Originals Archive TRX Mesh – size? exclusive iterations honour heritage by stripping both models back to their raw original shape. For the colourways, we’ve nodded to an OG Made in Yugoslavia variant, as well as the scarce Made in France Zebra ‘Marine’ silhouette from the 1980s. If you know you know.

The adidas Originals Archive TRX Mesh ‘Marine’ and ‘Orange Sun’ size? exclusive pairs are constructed from mesh and suede uppers, swapping out the typical nylon underlays for something a little more porous. Crinkled tongues with Trefoil branding draw inspiration from lauded ‘City Series’ creations, while tonal 3-Stripes signal authenticity. Below, wedged midsole units with EVA foam cushioning provide comfort synonymous with vintage runners of the era. Signing off, lugged rubber outsoles underline all of the above, offering up high-grip traction.
