Adidas trainers are not just a symbol for the casual movement. They also fly the flag for generations of British and worldwide, youth or music culture and are synonymous with artists such as; Ian Brown (The Stone Roses), Noel Gallagher (Oasis), Run DMC (Superstars), Beastie Boys (Campus), all of which have become world renowned for their strong affection for and affiliation with Adidas trainers, and are now established ambassadors of the classic three stripe trainer. We love delving into our Boot Vault, and usually we're able to take a comparative look at a boot to judge it's modern day counterpart, but on this occasion there's no updated version and in our opinion that's because the adidas Profi football boots can still perform in the modern game!

As the brand continues to be true to its original principles, Adidas continuously relaunches incredible classics from their archive such Gazelles, Spezials and Trimm Trabs. The brand is ever evolving, bringing in new silhouettes such as Los Angeles, Flux and Tubular. Adidas Originals trainers have become a must for any casual loving, sportswear admirer, that is looking to replicate the distinctive style which now carries a strong retro sentiment. As a performance boot, the adidas Profi could boast a kangaroo leather upper for instant comfort and customised fit, with crafted cross-over stitching around the toe area for greater comfort, feel on the ball and to prolong the boots shape. An extended heel counter provided added rear foot comfort and support, and a triple density TPU outsole combined minimum weight with maximum forefoot flexibility.The boots gained a cult following due to the unique style they brought to the football pitch, and of course because of the soft and comfortable K leather upper. The stand-out feature which made the Profi so popular was undoubtedly the adidas Trefoil, which also adorns the boot heel. It would have been no coincidence to see a player turn up on matchday with a pair of Profi's in his bag and a pair of adidas Gazelle trainers on his feet!
