It's a good thing Adidas is such a solid brand, as the storms it has weathered of late could have sunk a less stable ship.
The fall of Kanye West and the virtual cancellation of the Yeezy brand led to Adidas's first loss in 30 years. And then to add insult to injury, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stepped out in a pair of Adidas Sambas, causing a 11% drop in sales according to credit company Klarna.
Adidas is soldiering on, though, as do the brand's big-name collaborations.
Want to know about some of the latest ones? On May 13, Adidas dropped a #Merky FC Predator Stormzy collaboration football boot. And if you want something you can simply wear out and about, there's a new KoRn x Adidas collaboration in the works too, rumoured to be hitting the store from May 15.
However, today we're a little more interested in the Adidas all-timers, the silhouettes that make this name an icon over the generations.
Of course, this is nowhere near a definitive list. Instead, we've tried to pick out a combination of classic and more limited-edition styles to show you how versatile Adidas trainers truly are. Some are simple and practical, others are throwing out some pretty outlandish 80s vibes. All of them have fought for their place to rightly be crowned some of the best Adidas trainers available right now.
