About this deal

The City Series’ ongoing relevance has been ensured by a particularly astute reissue programme over the past decade or so. “I remember, in around 2008, there was a resurgence in interest in the City Series with the younger generation,” says O’Toole. “For the first time, I saw reissue trainers go for more money than the original models and I knew something had changed.” There are variants to certain models, like the Hamburg with the light and dark soles, the Wien Mark II which had a different toe box to the original. The Bern Mark II had a completely different sole unit. Also you had shoes that were manufactured in different countries and had the same name as existing City models but were completely different,” O’Toole says.

Wyatt saw similar shifts taking place from the early 2000s onwards: “The City Series reissues from then became very popular with football lads who were not old enough to be around in the early 1980s,” he says. adidas is about more than sportswear and workout clothes. We partner with the best in the industry to co-create. This way we offer our fans the sports apparel and style that match their athletic needs, while keeping sustainability in mind. We’re here to support creators. Improve their game. Create change. And we think about the impact we have on our world. Workout clothes, for any sport For City Series enthusiasts, this seems to be a golden period. Mac points to a marked increase in the quality of reissues and remodels currently available. “I think that City models have never been made so good,” he claims. “If you look at Wien, Amsterdam, Napoli, Torino and even the niche Frankfurt, they were all strong reissues. Since the start of Spezial in 2014, City Series have been stepped up.”But, in the big picture sense, the City Series shines. When considered in its totality, the line’s cohesive identity reveals itself more easily than when fixating on the specifics of individual models: most model’s prioritise quality of materials over visible technical flourishes, pair colourways and stripe tones with a graphic designer’s exacting sensibility and have detailed finishes which reward close examination (for example, the shaggy suede of the Hamburg or the textured sole of the London). An integral part of terrace culture since the ‘70s, adidas' City Series is beloved for its distinctive European clean-cut styling and vibrant colour combinations. Journeying to Italy this time round, adidas share the Torino. Rather than just a straight reissue, some City shoes have also been reinterpreted: as part of the Spezial series, with the original Montreal rebirthed as the Hochelaga; a Mundial and Size collaboration in 2020 produced the Liverpool, Córdoba and Havana; a Tricolour-coloured Paris appeared in limited numbers in 2012 to mark a store opening in the French capital, before it reappeared in the summer of 2020 more widely. But as much as this build quality has elevated the shoe’s standing – and despite the multifarious colourways, finishes, sole variations and hidden details – a large part of the City Series’ longevity comes down to its unflashy nature. “It’s the simple, iconic design,” says O’Toole.

Sport keeps us fit. Keeps you mindful. Brings us together. Through sport we have the power to change lives. Whether it is through stories of inspiring athletes. Helping you to get up and get moving. Sporting goods featuring the latest technologies, to up your performance. Beat your PB. adidas offers a home to the runner, the basketball player, the soccer kid, the fitness enthusiast. The weekend hiker that loves to escape the city. The yoga teacher that spreads the moves. The 3-Stripes are seen in the music scene. On stage, at festivals. Our sports clothing keeps you focused before that whistle blows. During the race. And at the finish lines. Further complicating things, a later series of City shoes were built around the identities of North American cities, utilising a more classic running-shoe profile. The City Series now spanned not just cities and continents, but entire sports and styles.
