Take the Grand Tour With the adidas City Series

Every brand has its grails, and for adidas, you can’t look past their City Series. Dating back to the 1950s, when things kicked off with the adidas Roma, it wasn’t until the 1970s that adidas really began their grand tour of Europe. Traversing key European cities to create the collection, the City Series became responsible for some of the brand’s most hunted sneakers in adi history.

Each an homage to their respective location, every release is replete with unique design features and colourways to reflect the character and culture of the cities they represent. Over the years, the City Series has continued to make ground, adding more and more destinations to the roster. While new additions might get on board, retros of the classics (sometimes with subtle tweaks) never fail to receive fanfare and achieve sellout status. But it’s no wonder they’re still so popular today: they’re loaded with heritage and just look damn good.

You can never tick off everything in a jam-packed itinerary – which means we’ll have to book a second leg. Time to pack your bags and visit a handful of adidas City Series releases here.
