We have a lot more technology in running shoes today than they did 30 years ago, so it can be easy to overlook how impressive some of the earlier developments were at the time. The ' is one of those shoes that gave athletes a whole new take on the humble running shoe, even if it does seem a bit quaint by todays standards. The midsole contains three interchangeable pegs that can adjust the level of cushioning, depending on the runner’s weight, running style and terrain.
The upcoming adidas Consortium LA Trainer features the once revolutionary peg-system, as well as an upper produced from the very same materials that were used in 1984. The made-in-Germany shoe gives us as close to an exact reincarnation as possible.
