True Originals

"True Originals is a visual journey through one of the most influential stories in sport and street culture. This book focuses on the legendary adidas models - the OGs - that shaped style from the 1970s to the 1980s.

It's not just a catalogue of sneakers, but also a cultural archive. The book reveals the stories behind iconic models and their links to music, sport and urban culture. Athletes, musicians and an entire generation that made these models into symbols are intertwined here.  

The publication is complemented by interviews with collectors, dealers and sneaker culture, giving you an insight into how adidas has evolved from a sports brand to a global style phenomenon.  

It's a book that acts as an object - you want to not only read it, but also keep it in a visible place. It fits perfectly into interiors, especially where design, music and analogue culture are important.

The Phono Shop offers this publication as an inspiring choice for those who appreciate aesthetics, history and authentic style.
