adidas Originals Campus Shoes

A Timeless Silhouette

The iconic German-based brand has broken ground in numerous sports throughout the decades, with their Three-Stripes at the forefront of it all. With its sibling, the adidas Originals Superstar taking the basketball court and streets by storm with its notable shell-toe design, the Campus, was up next. What really catapulted this time-tested silhouette into the eyes of the masses was its adoption by the hip-hop scene. Huge names like Run DMC and The Beastie Boys could be seen donning pairs, along with Three-Stripes from head to toe, making a statement that the shoe was here to stay. 

In fact, Run DMC could be seen wearing anything from the adidas Campus, Gazelle, or Superstar with their adidas tracksuits for shows and other public appearances. The iconic hip-hop group even posed in Three- Stripes in front of the Eiffel Tower for their Together Forever Tour in 1987. Other notable mentions by the group, like their hit track, “My Adidas” only helped cement the brand into hip-culture, and the adidas Originals Campus was along for the ride, helping turn it into the iconic sneaker it is today.
