With the rising trend of chunky trainers and platform sneakers, adidas adds the classic Nizza to the roster of adidas Originals models revamped with oversized soles. This vintage basketball shoe from ‘75 remains an underrated lifestyle option, becoming a mainstay silhouette since returning in 2018. The adidas Nizza Platform “Black White” keeps a simple makeover donning its titular hues of contrasting black and white. Thick vulcanised platform soles instantly add height and flair.
The ‘70s set the pace for German sportswear powerhouse adidas to gain momentum in the basketball footwear industry. After launching the adidas Superstar in 1970, more silhouettes followed suit in the next few years. The adidas Nizza joined in 1975, serving as the brand’s premier canvas-based basketball shoe. This Platform edition retained the classic canvas upper construction but doubled the size of the vulcanised sole. The “Black White” colourway boasts a black upper base with white serrated 3-Stripes on the sides and adidas Trefoil branding on the tongue. The white platform sole flaunts a Nizza branding on the heel, while the toe box has a protective rubber overlay, a subtle nod to the iconic shell toe. Multidirectional traction patterns on the outsole round out these classic-turned-trendy kicks.
