The Adidas site is very clever as the whole trend in footwear at the moment is the “ugly throwback” look. Retro is a huge hot trend at the moment and the site reflects that. I’ve seen this site before pointed out to me by friends kids who are in their late teens / early twenties and they think it is uber cool. They want “in” on the whole thing so it is doing its job and that is why they are a $22b company 😉 ---
