Pushing the boundaries, Adidas experimented with comfort and suspension with a series of models using its ‘Peg System’. Found in the L.A. trainer and the Keglers, the system allowed you to use a series of moveable pegs to change the comfort or ‘feel’ of the shoe to suit your needs.

However, the most intriguing feature of the shoe is the suede strip that wraps around the toe guard, extending all the way to the bottom of the shoe, covering the midsole and outsole. The only thing bad about it is keeping it clean, but ironically, it gives the shoe a clean look.

It was reissued in 2004, and Adidas produced a limited edition of 100 pairs, each featuring an ostrich-skin upper and gold- colored pegs sold for almost $1000 each.
