Adidas Beckenbauer Allround trainers get a reissue in white and grey

Posted on 16th May 2011 | Leave a comment

Always a popular reissue, with the latest version of the Adidas Beckenbauer Allround trainers in white and grey already doing swift business.

As you probably know, the trainers date back to 1982, an all-round training shoe inspired by the legendary German footballer, as well as being a terrace classic. This reissue has an off white nubuck upper, tonal suede mudguard, grey three-stripe branding and heel piece, plus gold Beckenbauer text and endorsement logo by the nam himself on the tongue.

Some retailers have already sold out, but all sizes are available as I type at the Adidas online store. Another shot over the page.

Adidas Kegler Super trainers back in college blue

Posted on 12th May 2011 | 1 Comment

Last seen over the winter, the Adidas Kegler Super trainers are reissued once more, this time in what's described as a college blue colourway.

First seen back in the 1980s, the Kegler Super is one of Adidas' more recognisable designs, not least for the 'peg' system on the sole. They're here, along with a suede and leather upper, dark blue detailing plus orange heel and stripes.

£64.99 is the asking price.

Simple Polo Dress from New Look

Posted on 10th May 2011 | Leave a comment

The humble tennis dress has moved far beyond its beginnings as sportswear, becoming an icon of British fashion in the 20th century. While the Fred Perry classics still rule supreme, there's room for a lookalike style while you save your pennies.

This Polo Dress from New Look is a simple but effective copy of the style, providing an ideal casual option for fans of mod/two-tone crossover looks. With contrasting coloured piping on the collar, sleeves and embroidered badge, this might not have the quality and durability of the designer inspiration, but at this price it'll be forgiven.

It's available now from New Look for £12.99.

Alice Ivory Dress from Monsoon

Posted on 4th May 2011 | Leave a comment

Denim is the flavour of the moment for high street designers this summer, feeding well into the resurgence of seventies influence. The versatile fabric isn't limited to jeans and jackets, however, as shown by this decidedly more delicate Alice Dress from Monsoon.

The dress starts with a fifties-look swing dress shape, with delicate straps and a full circle skirt creating a light and summery silhouette. The addition of a denim applique design adds some eighties influence into the dress, in fitting with the 1980s love of fifties fashion updates.

It's available now from Monsoon for £180.

Adidas Marathon 80 trainers get a light blue reissue

Posted on 3rd May 2011 | 1 Comment

Probably not the best shoes for running a marathon in these days, but the Adidas Marathon 80 trainers are still a handsome Adidas reissue, this time in a light blue colourway.

This lightweight running shoe, first seen back on 1980, opts for that slightly more unusual shade of light blue for the suede and mesh upper, dark blue being added for the stripes and heel piece and black used for the sole.

A good all-rounder with plenty of comfort, it's available for the price of £59.99. See another shot over the page.
