From a very far away first glance, the untrained eye might think that it’s just a pair of Gazelles. Sorry to tell you guys, you’ve failed your sneakers test. The 70s were a massive decade for trainers and for Adidas in particular. They started off the decennium with a bang renaming a pair of trainers that most of us now own: the Adidas Stan Smith. Then the Three Stripes swiftly moved on to dedicate a pair to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in ’71 and dropped the Adidas Americana in the same year. Finally, in 1976, these suede beauties were born. Let’s take a closer look at the adidas Rouge OG Red before their drop date.

The super soft texture of the red bovine suede uppers is contrasted by the blue accents of the classic stripes in zig zag cut along with the blue leather heel tab to complete the vintage design. As it always goes with suede shoes, it’s crucial that you protect this amazing yet fragile material.

If you finally manage to get that time travelling machine working, no one will be able to tell the difference.
