adidas Italia 60s Made in Italy "Cardboard" JR8378

The adidas Italia 60s “Cardboard” revisits one of the brand’s most elegant silhouettes, originally crafted in Rome in 1959. This revival pays tribute to Italian shoemaking with a premium construction that feels both timeless and refined.

The upper comes in smooth leather with a subtle grain that gives the design a true vintage character. Complementing the look is a soft leather lining that enhances comfort, while the durable rubber outsole keeps the shoe grounded for everyday wear. Metallic “adidas Italia” branding on the sidewall provides a final nod to the heritage of this iconic model.

Sticking closely to its roots, the shoe uses a traditional lace closure for a secure fit, with proportions that echo the original pair seen on athletes in the late 1950s and 60s. The Cardboard, Brown Desert, and Cream White palette adds a versatile touch, blending earthy tones with understated luxury.

By reintroducing the Italia 60s, adidas bridges its sporting archive with contemporary sneaker culture. It’s a model that speaks to history but works just as well today—ideal for collectors, casual wearers, and anyone who values craftsmanship.

The Made in Italy tag underlines the premium approach, ensuring this release sits apart from standard retro revivals. With its clean lines, heritage construction, and carefully chosen colours, the adidas Italia 60s “Cardboard” captures a piece of adidas history while offering a shoe that feels just as relevant in 2025.
