Nice to see our personal favourites return to the racks – the Adidas Montreal 76 trainers.

It's not a shoe reissued regularly, I have a pair in the wardrobe, however they do have quite a lot of mileage on them. Perhaps a good Ten years or so.

The shoes do go as far back considerably longer . As the name suggests, they were designed in 1976 for the Montreal Olympics, especially for the athletes taking part in the event. Observe that collapsible heel, which made obtaining the shoes off and on just a little bit easier.

The reissue comes in two versions, one using the original colours, the other in a black finish. Both have a a suede upper, perforated round toe and that distinctive heel from the original design.

13th December is the date for the diaries at selected retailers, including End Clothing. Except the price to bed around lb80.
