The Best Adidas Shoes for Men Are the Ones You've Never Heard Of
The best Adidas shoes for men deserve their place in the footwear pantheon. Since setting up shop in the late '40s, the Three Stripes has remained a reliable source of classic sneakers (think Sambas, Superstars, and Stan Smiths), the type of perennial best-sellers that still inspire countless imitations today. But recently, the German sportswear giant has stepped on the gas, rolling out smash-hit collaborations with Prada, Pharrell, and cult-loved labels like Wales Bonner.
All of which means there's no better time to take stock of the company's roster of sneakers. From must-have black Gazelles, to crisp white Stan Smiths, to rad candy-colored skate shoes, there's a style in Adidas' extensive repertoire that's right for you. (And with prices hovering at around 150 bucks on the highest end of the spectrum, there's bound to be one that's right for your credit card, too.) To make our love affair with the Three Stripes official, we dove deep into the best Adidas shoes for men you probably haven't heard of. Still doggedly captioning your sneaker pics “checks over stripes”? One of these will convert you.
