adidas has continuously scavenged its archive to revive forgotten models. The latest pair with a new life is the adidas Harlem, which has been out of production for nearly 40 years.

The 1980s basketball sneaker is revisited with close proximity to the original, maintaining all trademark details. The model was first released in minimal quantities, causing sneaker enthusiasts to hunt down pairs for years on end.

adidas’ first reintroduction of the retro model boasts a vintage feel, crafted with supple white leather uppers and beige suede mudguard overlays. Three Stripes medial branding receives gradient-style detailing, featuring distinct shades of blue on each one. The simplistic pair is complete with technologically-advanced adidas Centennial Low soles for supreme comfort and agility.

Take a closer look at the 2023 adidas Harlem in the gallery above. The silhouette will drop on June 6 via adidas and select retailers for $110 USD.
