It’s been nearly a decade since The Stone Roses last performed together, but their grip on British pop culture remains unshakeable. Central to the “Madchester” movement and the Brit-pop explosion that followed, the band cemented the adidas tracksuit as the uniform for ’90s British trend seekers. That enduring connection— often inextricably linked to their hometown pride for Manchester United — is celebrated once again with the elusive adidas Tobacco leading a new collaborative pack that perfectly encapsulates the timeless aesthetic.
The Tobacco arrives in a clean grey and black suede construction seated atop a classic gum sole. The design is rich with lore from the band’s self-titled 1989 debut. The insoles feature gold-lettered album artwork, while the left tongue bears the iconic lemon symbol. This citrus emblem serves as a nod to anti-establishment defiance, referencing the lemons used by protesters to counteract tear gas during the 1968 Paris student riots.
