The Collegiate Navy colorway builds the Campus 80s, adidas' retro-proportioned take on the original suede court shoe, from a navy suede upper set against off white and cloud white leather Three Stripes. The low, wide shape and thicker sole unit are hallmarks of the Campus family, giving it a roomier fit than the Gazelle or Samba sitting beside it in adidas' catalog. A leather heel tab and the model's herringbone-tread rubber outsole round out the build, both details carried over from its life as a basketball shoe before it moved into casual rotation.
Collegiate Navy released January 6, 2021, at a retail price of $100, arriving early in the wave of Campus 80s retros that followed adidas Originals' push to bring the silhouette back into regular release around 2017. The shoe carries no collaborator branding, just the standard Three Stripes and heel tab treatment, making it one of the simpler reads on a model that spent the 1980s and 1990s tied to hip-hop, B-boy and British casuals style.
