Story & heritage

The official Adilette page says the slide has been a style mainstay of adidas ever since it arrived, and reliable retail copy dates the silhouette to 1972. Its appeal is simple: one band, three stripes, a contoured footbed.

Among Adidas Originals icons, Adilette is the casual end point — less a sneaker than a recognisable gesture.

Materials & craft

Adidas lists a contoured footbed and 3-Stripes across a bandage upper for the current Adilette. Retail product details for 280647 identify a PU-coated synthetic bandage upper, quick-dry lining and polyurethane outsole.

How to choose & style

Black-and-white is the classic poolside version. Wear it with socks and track pants for the terrace look, or without socks as a summer slide that still reads unmistakably adidas.
