Adidas Vintage Sprint - trainers inspired by 1960 Olympics

Adidas_sprint

Looking good and with some heritage too - these Adidas Vintage Sprint trainers.

They're based on footwear designed by Adidas for the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, with the reissue losing the spikes, but gaining a soft leather upper with blue suede outsole detailing and a side logo inspired by the Olympics.

You can pick them up online for £85.

Melbournes are the BEST Adidas trainers! Sadly they were only manufactured for a short time in 2002-2004, the best place to buy them now is ebay, there are a few pairs listed every week...
