Carbon suede meets core black on the three stripes and outsole of the adidas Campus 00s 'Carbon Black,' built on the same bigger sole, exaggerated padded tongue and wider laces that mark every Campus 00s release. The rubber cupsole and grip pattern underneath keep the model's basketball-derived traction, just scaled up to match the bulkier upper. It released on April 27, 2023 at a retail price of $110.
Carbon and black keep the palette closer to the Campus's more common dark tones, in contrast to the brighter or collaboration-driven colorways elsewhere in the 00s line. Landing in April 2023, this pair released as the Campus 00s was becoming a widely covered part of the sneaker landscape through 2023 and into 2024, frequently framed as following the same organic rise that made the adidas Samba a trend shoe. The 00s frame is the newer of the two main Campus builds, arriving in 2022 as a deliberately oversized take on 2000s skate and lifestyle shoes, next to the slimmer, original-proportioned Campus 80s.
