If plain, simple and classic is your idea of a good pair of trainers, you just might appreciate the latest reissue of the Adidas Samba Suede.
Very much back to basics with the original black and white colour scheme, gold detailing and branding, a premium suede upper, white contrast sole and white laces.
No rarity value, but the upside of that is a £49 price tag.

Once a rarity from the Adidas archive, then reissued as a limited edition as part of the City Series reissue program, the Adidas London trainers have now appeared in at least five different colour options, with the latest being this blue suede finish.
The shape is as you expect, a slimline, fairly low shoe with perforated tongue and contrasting slim gum sole, with the London lettering in gold. The difference here is that colour, a blue suede upper, with contrasting blue detailing for the stripes and heel.
Limited numbers, they're priced at £56.99.

Hot on the heels of the leather reissues at the end of last year is a reissue of the Adidas Kegler Super trainers reissued in blue and brown suede.
One of those is pictured above, the other is shown over the page. Aside from the colours and the suede upper, it's 'as you were' for this 1980s classic, most notably with the classic 'peg' system on the sole, some contrast detailing in a similar shade and of course, a foiled printed 'Kegler Super' logo on the side.
Certainly to fly out, you can get a pair at Size? for £64.99.
It's been around in the Adidas archives for over 60 years, yet the Adidas Samba is still one of, if not THE most reissued Adidas trainer of the modern era. In fact, two more have been added to the ranks, a reissue on medium lead (aka grey) and a new version in bluebird (aka blue).
Aside from those colours, this is pretty much a reissue by numbers, aside from one thing. That means a suede upper, contrast detailing, gold Samba branding, a gum sole and spare set of laces. That mesh liner is perhaps the only noticeable difference to recent versions.
See the other colour option over the page, with the price at £52.

While mini and pencil skirts are the go to for many retro looks, there's plenty of untapped options from 20th century fashion. This Suede Knee Skirt from Oasis has a great late sixties/early seventies feel thanks to the cut and textural fabric choice.
Made from a warm camel shade of suede, the fabric is ideal for creating a stiff and structural a-line shape. With diagonal detailing, the high waist and knee length offer something that's both classic and unique among a sea of on the nose miniskirts and fifties floral numbers.
Get it now from Oasis for £70.
A low key reissue, but certainly an eye-catching one – the return of the Adidas Spezial trainers in a black colourway.
A shoe from 1979 that was designed for indoor sports, it's a lightweight number, this time with a suede upper and 'laser yellow' accents on the leather three stripe branding, throwing in a contrasting heel piece plus a thick gum sole to finish things off.
See the shoe from a reverse angle over the page. All sizes available, £54.99 is the price.
