Welcome to Dublin. A fortress of a capital that’s proudly called home by some of the most passionate literary and musical talent to ever grace the globe. A place where ancestral Celtic creativity brims beneath every cobble of its 1000-year-old streets.

First coming to life back in 1976, the adidas Originals Dublin was and still is one of the most worshipped models in the entire ‘City Series’ line-up. The earliest versions of the Dublin were originally produced in West Germany, Yugoslavia & Romania in its traditional blue and orange colour code – hues inspired by the burning castles on the Irish capital’s coat of arms. Throughout the late ‘70s, slightly altered versions of the same silhouette were released, with the only real point of difference being the shade of the sole and the colour hex for the suede upper.

Inspired by cultural cornerstones of the Irish capital, our adidas Originals Dublin ‘Anniversary City Series’ – size? exclusive opts for a never-before-seen profile in celebration of our 25th year. A nod to one of Dublin’s most famous dynasties, a premium, lightly tumbled leather upper exudes a barrel-aged scent, whereas contrast 3-Stripes guard the sidewalls and serrated eyestays retain the tooling that’s synonymous with its other genealogical siblings. Thin rubber outsoles with custom footbeds underline the pair, while ‘1/2025’ and wordmark gold foil detailing etches off across the heel tabs and lateral walls signalling the seldom occasion. 

The draw for the adidas Originals Dublin ‘Anniversary City Series’ – size? exclusive opens the day before St. Patrick’s on 16.03.2025, but launches in-store at size? Dublin on the 15.03.2025. You know what to do…
