XLARGE and adidas Originals Have Debuted a Campus 80 Collection
Colin Smith — February 4, 2022 — Fashion
'XLARGE,' the Los Angeles-based streetwear and lifestyle brand, has debuted a special Campus 80 collection in collaboration with adidas Originals. This collection has been released in celebration of XLARGE's 30th anniversary in operation.
This collection consists of two new colorways for the Campus 80 silhouette, including 'Mesa/Solar Red/Gum,' and 'Orbit Violet/Core Black/Chalk.' Each colorway leans into a different aspect of nostalgia and Los Angeles history, with inspiration dating back to the mid-to-late 20th century. The Solar Red colorway features a brown suede upper with three red lines spanning the middle of the upper. The insole of the shoe is covered in a cow-print design, giving this colorway a very 70s-inspired look.
The second colorway features an Orbit Violet upper with black stripes and a black heel in the same pattern as the Solar Red shoe. The insole of this shoe also showcases a lavish cow-print, though this shoe appears to be more inspired by mid-century looks.
