adidas Continental 80
Capture the aesthetic of the vintage era with the resurgence of adidas Continental 80 shoes, available at JD Sports Australia. In our line-up, you’ll find the re-released classic in its signature white colourway, so you can finally learn why this archived silhouette continues to be a favourite many years after its initial launch.
The Return of the ’80s Tennis Shoe
The retro-appearing adidas Continental 80 is a true throwback to the glory days of the sneaker. When it came out in 1986, it was pitched as an indoor tennis shoe with a sole designed to be compatible with the surfaces of the court; however, decades later, you’ll find that the trainer is equally suited to day-to-day wear. The collection is a favourite of trendsetters, who pair the versatile silhouette with their regular outfits, enjoying a design that, though undeniably of its era, maintains a timeless appeal.
How does the Continental 80 stay in fashion, we hear you ask? It’s quite simple: the innovative sneaker performs as good as it looks. Hidden inside the shoe are loads of up-to-date technologies, including a moisture-controlling insole (with French terry lining), an OrthoLite sock liner, and a split rubber cup sole (which provides additional flexibility where you need it most).
Of course, we can’t neglect to talk about the exterior in greater detail. The Continental 80 is a winner in the visual department, using a perforated full-grain leather upper to craft a simple but highly effective silhouette. Along the side wall are mixed-coloured stripes and an appropriate amount of branding—specifically, the brand name ‘adidas’ next to the Trefoil logo that accompanies shoes in the heritage-inspired Originals line. Similarly, branding can be found on the tongue, front and centre.
