Few things signal the arrival of spring quite like a crisp pair of white and blue sneakers. And once again, adidas is one step ahead.

The adidas ‘Paris’ isn’t new to the game, but the “Core White/Blue Gum” colorway brings fresh energy to a certified classic.

Rooted in the legacy of Parisian indoor sneakers, this pair keeps it simple with a fresh white leather base and bold blue Three Stripes. That unmistakable gum sole sits underneath, offering a nice contrast to the sneaker’s clean upper and sharp blue heel detailing.

As always, it’s the finishing touches that do the heavy lifting, gold “Paris” lettering next to the stripes, retro tongue branding, and those blue accents at the heel and tongue that pop just enough to leave a mark. 

The overall vibe is easygoing and confident, exactly what you want from a sneaker that’s been in rotation for generations.

It’s true, some icons only need a new lick a’ paint to feel brand spankin’ new.
