Jared Ebanks Throughout the late 70s and early 80s, adidas crafted an indelible mark on the far-reaching effects of the sneaker community by constructing three OG silhouettes inspired by three island nations; Hawaii, Tahiti and Bermuda. Introducing the adidas Island series decades ago, the latter silhouette has returned from the adidas Originals archives for a luxurious violet effort in 2023.
Bringing beachside aesthetics to city landscapes, the low-top trim is constructed almost exclusively in a premium flat suede that’s dipped in a rich shades of dark purple and burgundy. In stark contrast, the tumbled leather profile 3-Stripes and both the heel and tongue tabs are decorated in a complementary “Cream White” that harkens to a bit of aged aesthetics. Elsewhere, the silhouette concludes with the model’s staple semi-translucent gum finish cast across the sole unit underfoot.
The adidas Bermuda “Collegiate Purple” and “Collegiate Burgundy” are currently available overseas. While we await news regarding a stateside adidas.com release, the pairs can be seen ahead in detailed imagery.
In other news, the Kobe 6 “Reverse Grinch” arrives on December 15th.
