Archival Low-Sole Classic Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

adidas Presents its new Country Japan Sneaker Model

— October 9, 2024 — Fashion
adidas Originals taps into its archives to bring attention to the new Country Japan silhouette which is a hybrid classic design. The brand merges two iconic models -- the Country and the Japan shoes. The shoes look iconic and take on a slender form resting at a low sole as well.

It has a very clean aesthetic and uses the premium Japan-made construction throughout the silhouette including the smooth pigskin nubuck paired together with the elevated leather accents. The shoes come in colorway palettes that are versatile and great to pair with most outfits. This includes the brown palette which is suitable for the Fall season upon us and the classic navy blue colorway -- both available now.
