The adidas Run 76/26 Trainer Features The Very Latest Lightstrike Sole Technology
Giving a nod to the OG runners from the 1970s the adidas Run 76/26 trainer is an "old meets new" modern classic which now arrives at 80s Casual Classics.
Before the likes of Wade Smith set off across the continent in a transit van to cater for the Casuals' 3 Stripes trainer market in Liverpool & the North West, adidas were already cutting some shapes on the growing running circuit. The 70s running boom saw the big sportswear brands battle it out on the tarmac & the tracks with the introduction of various running silhouettes we now refer to as retro runners. As much as the technology may have differed ever so slightly from brand to brand, the aesthetics were pretty similar. Think low profile silhouettes, lightweight uppers, extra grippy outsoles & bold colourways. The designs not only perfectly captured the whole running boom of the era but the next generation of performance footwear. If there was one brand that really dominated the running trainer world in the 1970s it was probably adidas. Thanks to Adi Dassler's "one-up" approach to footwear innovation, adidas set the bar throughout the 1970s releasing a range of OG runners for various terrains & athletes. Giving a nod to the classic 3 stripes runners from yesteryear this latest adidas Run 76/26 trainer features the very latest Lightstrike sole technology.

Throughout the 1970s adidas introduced some of their most celebrated runners of all time during this heavily running focused era. For example the German sportswear brand gave us all time classics like the Marathon in 1979, the SL72 in 1972, the Country in 1973, the Nite Jogger in 1976 & the TRX Competition in 1979 to name a few. Giving a nod to the legendary running trainers from 'die marke mit den 3 streifen' this latest adidas Run 76/26 trainer has all the hallmarks of the classic trefoil trainers from the 1970s. Taking colourway inspiration from classic adidas runners of the era, the adidas Run 76/26 trainer takes us back to the golden era of trefoil running silhouettes.
