This Black White pairing is close to a default statement for the Campus 80s: a suede upper in core black, contrasted with cloud white Three-Stripes and an off white leather heel tab. The rubber outsole carries the herringbone tread the model has used since its days as a basketball shoe, and at $100 it sits at the standard retail point for the line. It released January 9, 2021.
adidas Originals pushed the Campus back into a major retro relaunch around 2017, and the 80s version, built to the original proportions rather than the bulkier 00s update that followed, has carried most of the line's collaborations since. A colorway like this one, without a collaborator or a theme attached, is really about the shape itself: bulkier than the Samba or Gazelle, with a fuller upper and wider stripes that give it a roomier fit.
