Credit to His Knibs for spotting the Adidas Trimm Star trainers reissue in claret and blue.

Claret and blue just sounds right for the color, however this is most likely a lot of reverse. A blue and claret and a light blue at this.

Have a look, you can observe the shades above and below and you will know straight away these appeals to fans of certain football teams. I don't have to name them, but I can think of about six from the top of my head.

That's in which the appeal will probably be for most people, as it was when the Gazelle went claret and blue as well as the Adidas Jeans. But let's not underestimate the appeal of the Trimm Star profile itself.

This version is the shoe is really a Size? exclusive, with the retailer offering limited stock of a shoe that dates from around 1971 and also the product of the short-lived German government fitness campaign. They wanted a lightweight, all-round training shoe for people to put on throughout the campaign and that is precisely what they were given.

In fact, that slim shape and low profile are perhaps two reasons for the longevity of this design, which remains faithful to the 1970s look.

So gold foil around the sidewall, embossed lettering moulded within the gum midsole unit and the trademark lacing system. The lacing design was utilized for logical reasons of keeping a tight fit but certainly looks good too. Suede for that upper obviously.

As I said, limited numbers, so get up early of these either online or instore. These shoes retail for lb85 if you want a pair.

Update: If they are out of stock, there are plenty of pairs on eBay. Also worth noting that there's a claret and blue Adidas Gazelle at Scott’s at this time too.
