The famous London store FOOTPATROL is known for its range of rare and sought-after products, as well as for its collabs allowing the diffusion of street culture around the world. After expanding its ‘Communi-T’ series a few weeks ago, the British shop unveils a new collaboration with its strong and loyal partner ADIDAS.
FOOTPATROL continues its long-standing partnership with the German sportswear giant by presenting a reinterpreted Campus 80s.
This special version pays nostalgic homage to the ’80s terrace shoes and also draws inspiration from previous collaborations between the 2 brands to offer a new lifestyle look to this iconic silhouette. FOOTPATROL and adidas launched their first joint project 18 years ago, in 2005, with the Consortium Superstar Vintage. They went on to rework other flagship models, including the Campus 80s, and the latest is the EQT Running Support ’93 released in 2021.
The adidas Campus 80s collaborative sports an eye-catching streetwear-chic look. It appears mostly off-white in color.
The shoe consists of an off-white pig suede upper with a toe box and matching hairy suede side 3-Stripes. On the other side of the foot, those iconic adidas stripes have been removed to reveal the white mesh underlay. This collaborative pair features a double tongue with 2 different layers : the outer side appears in ‘pony hair’ while the inner tongues (on the left, navy blue and on the right, burgundy red) are inspired by the colorways of the Footpatrol x adidas Campus collaborations from 2007 and 2011. These previous collabs are also honored through the co-branded insoles featuring their Mustard and ‘Iron’ grey colorways. To complete the look, the heel tabs feature a recycled Snakeskin print overlay with embossed adidas logos. Underneath, the years ‘2002-2022’ are revealed to pay homage to FOOTPATROL’s 20-year anniversary. The London-based store’s name also stands out around the gold foil-printed side collar of the ankle. Laces and an all off-white sole finish off the design nicely.
The Footpatrol x adidas Originals Campus 80s will be released on May 27, 2023 for £100 ($124), in stores and online via the Footpatrol Launches app (starting at 8am). Don’t sleep !
