“adidas Dublin ‘Royal Solar Red’

While weve seen the Dublin return on a number occasions such as in 2001, 2008 and size?s 2010 version, this year is one of the closest recreations yet. The 3-Stripes have paid close attention in trying to perfect the colours of the upper, toning down the shade of orange stripes that were too bright on the 01 and 08 pairs. The suede tongue is also back, unlike the 01 version that featured the dimples like the rest of that years City Series, or even the all-leather tooling on the size? edition. As a final touch, adidas has reissued the classic gold foil lettering on the sidewall, a beautiful detail that has all but faded with time on the made in Yugoslavia pairs from the late 70s. Rounding off the package is the dark gum sole underfoot, a feature that once provided added grip but now completes the traditional aesthetic.
