The Campus is another from the adidas stable that seems constantly to be on release and popular. The shoe was first issued in the early 1970s and has sold well ever since. Most famously known for its leather version with the ’superstar shell toe, the model is just as regularly seen without this feature. The sneaker was also released in a suede version without the shell. It was initially available in sky blue, navy and burgundy.

“ The Greatest of All Time”….Originally produced in the early 1970’s as the Tournmaent, it was renamed in 1980.  Regarded with such respect, it is now worn by consumers all around the world.  It really gained popularity only after Brooklyn rap group The Beastie Boys began wearing it religiously.  It was immortalized on their 1992 album cover Check Your Head.  Using this as a springboard the Campus was acknowledged by skateboarders worldwide.  Not only was it attractive, but it came in a wide range of colors, was lightweight, and durable, all added advantages of the shoe.
