Throwback Thursday: the adidas Originals Nizza Hi and Lo Vintage White/Blue

The ADIDAS ORIGINALS NIZZA HI AND LO VINTAGE WHITE/BLUE turns back the clock to reflect on adidas’ basketball heritage.

Whilst Converse’s pioneering model the Chuck Taylor All Star and Nike’s streetwear-ready Jordan lineage have dominated the history of basketball footwear, a deeper dig into the sport’s heritage will lead you to a pocket of adidas sneakers, including ‘70s model, the Nizza.

Maybe not as sleek as the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar model, the Nizza isn’t far off, and to be honest – is probably about as close as you’re going to get – with the MVP’s pro-model likely to set you back at least a couple hundred bones.

Available in both hi and lo models, the silhouette runs with off-white uppers and the trademark adidas Originals royal blue, which is applied across the three-stripe branding and further accenting. A fresh white midsole finishes the casual basketball model, with a reinforced toecap for good measures. If you’re looking for the perfect finish for a throwback outfit, then look no further.

The ADIDAS ORIGINALS NIZZA HI AND LO VINTAGE WHITE/BLUE is due to release on THURSDAY 29 JUNE. Until then, shop the latest product at ADIDAS by following the banner below.
