It's getting nearer and nearer. Yes, the planet Cup in Moscow is on the horizon and the merchandising is within full effect. The most recent may be the Adidas 350 Moskva trainers drop.

Adidas is, as you might expect, all over the World Cup. A great number of the participants are clad in Adidas kit (including a few retro designs I've noticed) and as we mentioned a few weeks back, there's a selection of World Cup Edition trainers too.

But this one is about the host nation.

You might recall the hugely popular Adidas Gazelle Moskva trainers from 2022. Well, that first City Series tribute to Moscow has been accompanied buy a second. Except the original Gazelle shape has been replaced by the (not quite as) classic 350 shape, which dates back to Japan within the 1980s.

The 350’s shirt is inspired by the original colours from the Kremlin palace walls, using the red 'symbolising the city’s character'. Also present is the Trefoil logo embossed onto the tongue and serrated three stripe branding on the sidewalls. Completing the shoe may be the ‘Moskva’ gold lettering on the side.

The white version can be obtained now, having a darker version scheduled for later in the month if you want to wait. Same price for, that is lb80.
