adidas Originals brings light to another vintage silhouette in the form of the adidas Country OG. The retro shoe embodies a minimal design language defined by its slim shape and traditional leather build. At the base foundation is a slightly elevated midsole with a finish of the moded gum sole for traction.
Even the new versions of the silhouette ensure that it retains the retro elements of the original design with highlights such as the classic collegiate combinations. These include navy and yellow or white and green. The more updated variation sees metallic themes of gold and silver at the base with blue or green adorning the silver base or red on the gold base.
