adidas brings back one of its most understated classics—the BW Army, now reworked as part of the Lux Pack. A silhouette born from military roots and later embraced by fashion insiders, this latest update combines that quiet legacy with modern finesse.
Originally produced for the West German army in the ’70s and ’80s, the BW Army has seen countless reinterpretations over the decades. After German reunification, surplus pairs flooded civilian markets. Then came the fashion world’s obsession—Margiela’s 1999 show helped push the once-humble shoe into cult territory. Now, adidas reclaims the narrative.
This BW Army Lux release lands in three crisp colourways Core Black, Footwear White, Dust Sand each built on a low-profile gum sole. The upper swaps standard finishes for cracked leather, giving it texture and depth. Short suede panels hit the toe, while smooth overlays bring shape to the sidewalls and heel. The Trefoil tongue logo is stitched in place for that clean heritage touch.
Lined with natural leather and finished with a gum outsole, the BW Army Lux finds a balance between retro military minimalism and today’s premium sneaker taste. With Sambas already setting the tone, this release lands at just the right time for fans of stripped-back, low-cut silhouettes.
