Adidas Italia 60 trainers return in leather or suede

Italia_1

If you missed out on the Adidas London reissue the other day, here's another welcome return that might just fit the gap – two new versions of the Adidas Italia 60 trainers.

Both are faithful reproductions of the sports shoe designed for the Rome Olympics back in 1960, the version above with a suede upper in what's described as a 'fango and white' colourway. Finished off with gold branding, it sells for £64.99. Comfort guaranteed, as you would expect from the Italia 60.

eBay watch: Fully-restored 1970s Fiat 500L

Fiat500

Fiat did a decent job of remaking the Fiat 500, but nothing beats the original – like this fully-restored Fiat 500L which is available on eBay right now or a modest price.

Dating from 1970 and totally restored in 2006, this tax-exempt car is 'not a new car in showroom condition' and 'has the odd slight dent here', but also has undergone a lot of work, including having a brand new sunroof and professional decals, with a mileage of just over 27,000. Downside? Well, it's an imported left-hand drive – if that worries you, it's perhaps not the car for you.

Sold with all paperwork and invoices related to renovation, it's currently on eBay for a very affordable £1,550 – a small price for a very cool small car.
