Book Works Injects adidas Originals’ Campus With Notes of Jazz
Stealthy black meets “Bold Blue” and “Collegiate Green”.
When adidas Originals launched its Campus silhouette in the 1970s, it was designed predominantly as a basketball performance sneaker, but after making waves on-court throughout the decade, the shoe’s low profile and sturdy build soon found itself as the footwear of choice for skaters in the 1980s, as well as major hip-hop figures like the Beastie Boys.
Fast forward over 40 years and the sneaker is still considered a timeless classic, and arguably one of adidas Originals’ most underrated silhouettes. But for Fall/Winter 2021, New York-based jazz label Book Works has teamed up with the three-striped brand to rework the epochal Campus.
Infused with the brand’s jazz influence and passion, the archetypal three stripes are dressed in a stealthy black, atop a rainbow of “Bold Blue” and “Collegiate Green”. Resting on an off-white midsole, the sneaker is completed with gold-tinted branding at the rear and on the insole.
The Book Works x adidas Originals Campus is set to drop on September 17 and will be available via the adidas webstore for $100 USD.
In other sneaker news, Sean Wotherspoon’s adidas Originals and Disney-infused Superturf Adventure has randomly dropped.
