vintage ADIDAS leisure series KORSIKA leather tassled loafer MADE IN YUGOSLAVIA UK5











vintage adidas 
korsika
made in yugoslavia circa 1980's
new (without box)
UK5

somehow a re-stock of our fave piece of adidas footwear ever & a point of departure from which there is no way back to more athletic 'trainers'! from the under the RADar adi leisure series from the 80's we are not even sure korsika is the correct name of this particular island paradise. featuring heavy duty leather tassles, brass rivets & reach-around capacity it is the capital city of leisure & ultimately presented with our pleasure.

i have no idea whether these will hold up to normal wear & as such come with a 'wear at own risk' disclaimer. the uppers have already separated significantly from the outsole.

vintage NIKE aqua gear AQUA SOCK grape MADE IN USA 1990 US5




apologies folks if you don't like sportswear but my background interest as a kid was this world & the olympics provides the best opportunity to let go. i was however into more specialist gear, not out of any (form following) functional focus but instead it justified the necessity of (left) field event footwear collecting dust in the box without the gulit of not wearing them. we will be back with our regular vans/eyewear heat stroke. different heat strokes for different folks.

i have no idea whether these will hold up to normal wear & as such come with a 'wear at own risk' disclaimer. they do however hold collectable interest especially in this condition with the box which almost out-competes the footwear. also surprised to notice these were made in usa as late as 1990. from the days of liquid nike!

vintage ADIDAS shooting SPECIAL spezial hi-top MADE IN WEST GERMANY





vintage adidas
shooting(?) special
made in west germany circa 1980's
new
UK9

well the first gold medal has gone to a chinese athlete in shooting. i know little about the above model however i do recall it being referred to as a shooting trainer. any insight from adi-hash heads is appreciated. looking something like a pro model on roids, it features some tech d-ring technology & a thick rigid sole. so rigid in fact they flex little & look almost like cross country skiing clip-ons. this gives them that correctional shoe type vibe which is so hot right now. special needs indeed.
