It has reappeared occasionally in the 50-year existence, but best to begin to see the Adidas Stockholm City Series trainers return in original form.

I say original form since there happen to be variations on the party's theme in the past. You may well recall the Adidas Stockholm Gore-Tex trainers from the few years back. Shame there isn't a Gore-Tex version now considering the current weather. But there is a classic take coming your way.

The Stockholm design is much-loved along with a sought-after City Series shoe for any reason. This is peak Adidas when it comes to shape and style. A few of the a little more leftfield City Series designs have hung around for some time as well as ended up within the sales. But this kind of design usually clears in minutes.

With that in mind, I'll come up with a list of stockists for this one nearer time. Yes, Adidas itself will have stock however, you may have more luck picking up a pair at independent stockists, even when it is via some kind of online raffle.

Why should you want them? Well, just take a look at them. Classic and timeless City Series style that still looks the part decades after its 1972 launch.

That upper uses 'buttery-soft suede' not to mention, the colours really are a bold royal blue harmonized with the yellow detailing for the stripes, heel, and tongue. Very nice around the eye.

Outside of that, things are nice simple, with just a gum sole, ridged tongue, and classic Adidas sole to mention really. That's part of the appeal.

And if the Stockholm does appeal, you will want to know about benefiting from. Well, the launch is down as 11pm on Friday 26th November 2022 in the Adidas site, with variations likely at other retailers (although not far from that time and date).

As I said, I'll list other retailers when everything has been confirmed, whether that's straight sales or one from the online raffles. There are likely to be a number of of those. If you get lucky, expect to pay something in the region of lb85 for a pair.
