adidas Originals Hamburg Collection





Trainers are, without doubt, the most versatile shoe on the planet. Trainers can be simple, and they can be complex, classic and contemporary, smart and casual, fitness and fad - and they don’t just exist at these extremes, but at every point along the spectrum.

It’s no surprise, then, that buying a pair of trainers really isn’t as straightforward as it perhaps should be. Not every style works for every person - far from it. When I have a flick through the new releases online, I’ll steer well clear of the huge hi-tops and massive Larry David-style (Mat's icon...) bright white technical trainers. They obviously work for someone, just not for me.

My trainers have to be simple, unfussy, and stand up to the rigours of a freelance lifestyle...I’m joking - it’s hardly a jungle out there. But, at the same time, life in the city can turn a nice pair of white trainers into a soggy pair of grey sneakers in no time.

That’s why the new adidas Originals Hamburg collection immediately drew me in. You don’t become a mainstay of football fans unless you’re offering up something that’s seriously hardwearing. And, as this beautifully shot Scotts x adidas video - filmed in Hamburg - shows, these trainers are perfect for exploring any city on match days.

    Now I’m confused to choose this or Nike Internationalist luxe. They both have a great luxurious look.

  5. Hmm tricky, both nice. Do you usually go Nike over adidas? I do usually, and just got a pair of Nike Archive '83.

  6. Same with me, I really liked the video (music was a bit screechy mind you). Fancying the gum soles.

    Yes, actually I'm a Nike fan. But this Adidas Hamburg is really elegant. :)
