The German three-stripers have reworked their iconic slide, the Adilette, with a little velvet makeover.
While these ones will be considerably less poolside-ready than their plastic brethren, the two colourways - "Collegiate Green" and "Mystery Blue" - retain their comfortable construction and, of course, the three virginal white bands across the strap. They're beauties, no doubt: just don't get 'em wet… or sweat in them ever.
The adidas Adilette Velvet is available now from Offspring
