Stay Ahead Of The Curve With Back To School Essentials From Adidas

Summer is coming to a close and schools around the nation are beginning to welcome students back for nine months of learning. In the meantime, outfits are being hand-selected and accessories are being mulled over while classic and all-new footwear offerings have been prepared for last-minute shopping escapades.

Whether you’re in need of an easy-access model for the dining hall or a new pair of hoop shoes for try-outs, adidas boasts an ever-expanding range of silhouettes ideal for the jam-packed student schedule.

Catering to the landscape’s obsession with slip-on silhouettes while simultaneously promoting BOOST-cushioned propositions to quickly glide through the hallways, we’ve teamed up with adidas to bring you nine versatile back-to-school options as the first semester draws near.

Whether it’s your first day of high school or your last year of university, you can’t skimp out on the essentials. And there’s arguably nothing quite as essential as a good, comfortable pair of sneakers, something adidas Originals knows plenty about. If you’re looking to start the year on the right foot, the Three Stripes have plenty on offer, from the much-beloved UltraBOOST 1.0 to the equally classic NMD_R1 and Response CL.

Puffer jacket-inspired sidewalls, a BOOST-infused midsole, and Lightstrike cushioning have crafted one of James Harden’s most sought-after silhouettes in recent memory. Capturing his eccentric, suave style off the hardwood, the adidas Harden Vol. 7 champions equal parts comfort and fashionable aesthetics, just like his pre-game tunnel fits. If you’ve got the ice in your veins, Trae Young’s third model is also up for grabs. Prefer a bit of nostalgia? The Crazy IIINFINITY has just landed, too.

Who says you can only wear slides in the house? The last three years have seen laceless, slip-on models explode in popularity and adidas has handfuls of options to choose from. The classic adilette continues to deliver comfort in versatile styles, which includes the fashion-forward Essential. If you want something with a little more protection, the clog-like adiFOM Supernova has you covered. Unlike those tests you dread, no choice is wrong.
