Spotted at the recent Bread & Butter trade show in Berlin was this Adidas Originals Grand Prix. Originally debuting in 1970, the low-profile sneaker was popular among tennis pros, who favoured the shoe for its comfortable leather upper, soft textile lining and molded rubber midsole. This upcoming style features a classic white-based colourway with royal blue accents and suede toe. Borrowing a page from the Swoosh playbook, the shoe is given a vintage treatment with prominent yellowing at the midsole. Look for the Grand Prix to release as part of Adidas Originals’ Autumn Winter 2012 collection.
