Adidas Originals

Originals is the heritage side of the business. It reissues and reworks archive silhouettes rather than developing new performance product, and it carries the Trefoil mark, which was the company's main logo until 1997 and has been applied to heritage product only since then. The other lines use the Performance logo and are built around current sport technology. Some Originals shoes still borrow that technology, but the point of the line is the shape rather than the sport.

It comes down to how much structure you want underfoot. A leather or canvas court shoe sits flat, holds its shape and creases across the toe as it breaks in, which suits all-day wear and dresses up more easily. A knitted running pair has a thick foam midsole, gives noticeably more cushioning over distance and moulds to the foot rather than breaking in. Leather cleans up with mild soap and a cloth; a knitted upper is better handled with a soft brush and a little detergent.
