adidas Originals debuts the Continental 80 in new colorways for men and women

adidas Originals’ archive-inspired Continental 80 silhouette receives its most expansive colorway offer yet this month, using the shoe’s understated design as a backdrop for a range of classic and wildcard colorways in an 8-shoe release for both men and women.

A contemporary take on classic tennis footwear styles, the Continental 80 silhouette features a premium leather upper with a rubber double cupsole and French terry lining, accented by a clean two-tone fabric stripe detail. Finishing touches include decorative perforations and a branding window featuring classic Trefoil logo branding.

For its latest release, the Continental 80 model is offered in both men’s and women’s styles. For men, the shoe is offered in classic seasonal colors – ice mint, navy, grey, ash grey, clear brown – each featuring a contrast two-tone side stripe and classic gum outsole, enhancing the shoe’s nostalgic feel.

For women’s, the shoe takes inspiration from two sources, rendering the Continental 80 model in a range of striking palettes. Three iterations draw from from the bright lights and late nights of rave culture, assuming a trio of neon-infused ice mint, active blue ecru tint, true pink and legend purple; each with it's own reflective details and outsole.

Alongside them, two final colorways channel the vibrant aesthetic of the ‘90s into their designs. The duo pays homage to the golden age of bubblegum pop and Saturday morning television, dripping with a uniquely feminine touch. The result is a release that presents the Continental 80 silhouette in its most visually appealing yet.

The Continental 80 colorways will release worldwide on March 14th 2019.
