ADIDAS WORLD CUP '66



A surprising reissue by ADIDAS. We would have thought the Germans would have wanted to forget the 4-2 arse kicking by closely fought battle with England in the 1966 World Cup Final... Anyway, this shoe is so well put together it almost makes up for their poor performance 4 decades ago.

707 has rare patent leather versions in cream and black, replete with beautifully finished embossed leather sole and '66 embossed in gold on the heel pull. Looks equally slick with selvedge denim or single-breasted pinstripe suit.

As covered on HYPEBEAST, KIX-FILES, and MILK magazine.

5 pairs of each only, early release ONLY at 707, at official Adidas retail price:

1.149.000 Rp.(a bargain considering the 139 euro retail in Europe)
