The Premium Goods x Adidas Campus ’00 Is a Love Letter to Houston

Adidas

Details across the shoe tie to the city’s car scene, from slabs to low-riders to collector pieces. A creamy off-white upper of cracked leather (a nod to the imperfections that run across a well-loved automobile) is set off by stripes and detailing in a shade of orange likely familiar to Houston sports fans and anyone who’s argued online with them about the 2017 World Series. Tongue decals read ‘HOUSTON AUTO CLUB’ and the side of the heels bear a number logo similar to the sort you’d see on racecars. The inner sole bears a metal print familiar to anyone who’s set foot in a garage. Most cleverly, beneath the tongue is a stash pouch adorned with the words ‘Keep Your Belongings Safe’—a glove compartment, so to speak. It’s all tied together with a simple chunky gum sole.

If you plan on picking up the Premium Goods x Adidas Campus ‘00, which retails for $130, you can do so at Premium Goods or via their website. When you do, a portion of the sale’s proceeds will go to Houston’s own Dekaney High School’s Auto Tech program, helping them host safety programs, driver’s education courses, and car care clinics.
