When I think Campus I think suede. But the new Adidas Campus trainers reissue is really in leather.

But this really is still the Campus. The shoe dates back to the 1980s, should have been a rival basketball shoe towards the long-running Clyde series from Nike. Whether it made its mark around the hardwood floors of the basketball courts, I am not sure, not much of a follower of this sport. But it made its mark elsewhere.

If there is an official trainer of Britpop, it might probably be the Adidas Campus. This was a big deal shoe within the 1990s as well as for a person with a nostalgia for that era, it still is. In fact, this gem of the shoe probably has wider appeal, down to its neat and simple design.

This take on the shoe keeps that straightforward design, as well as offering the white leather upper with contrasting three-stripe branding, an OrthoLite textured gum midsole for premium cushioning along with a rubber outsole, the latter being a throwback to the time as a basketball shoe.

This is a recent arrival at Size? and it is available for sale online. If you want a pair, the Adidas Campus trainers in leather retail for lb80.
