adidas Takes It Back to the 1970s With the Formel 1 OG
First reissued in prototype form, now in a one-to-one OG remake.
Sneaker companies regularly look to the ’80s and ’90s when reissuing retro designs, but rarely do they go as far back as the 1970s. Falling into that latter category, however, is the upcoming Formel 1 OG from adidas. Hot on the heels of its unique prototype reissue, the latest Formel 1 comes in the form of a one-to-one remake of the original 1978 release — the shoe’s black and yellow colorway remains intact, as does its nylon construction and vintage suede overlays. The design even comes complete with its distinctive tooling and extended heel spoiler — a stabilizing factor that made the kicks a go-to for some of the era’s best athletes.
The adidas Originals Formel 1 OG is set for an official release February 6 at select retailers worldwide, but can already be found at Tokyo’s atmos.
