It’s not very often I’m lost for words, but over the weekend whilst shopping I saw these trainers in a store window. From that moment on it was like Baghdad in my brain! Everything shut down. Drool trickled from the cusp of my lip as my eyes slowly rolled into the back of my head. Where had you been all my life!
An Adidas x Vespa collaboration is nothing new (I copped myself a pair of the original trainers about 18 months ago), but something was different about these. The Italian-inspired flowing curves of the first generation had been replaced by the more efficient, clockwork precision of the Germans. It would seem that after Vespa had consumed many bottles of wine, Adidas, a lager fuelled behemoth, came and took advantage, producing this glorious offspring.
All a bit much for you? Me too! But one thing is for sure, this sneaker looks incredible. As a huge fan of Mod culture, I can safely say that Phil Daniels would never have thrown his scooter over the cliff at the end of Quadrophenia if he’d had these on his feet. He wouldn’t have wanted to get these bad boys dirty!
