Beginning our focus this week on the footwear belonging to the upcoming French inspired Adidas Spezial collection we start with the “Hochelaga”, try saying that after a few lagers.
Based on the Adidas Montreal which was reintroduced to the Adidas historians thanks to a kind loan by collector Bobby McCarten. The Montreal first came out in 1975 just prior to the 1976 summer Olympic games which were held in Montreal, hence the name and was part of the now legendary City Series. The rare blue with blue stripes version was a Bern colourway that was released some time later, thought to be around 1981-82 based on the tongue and in-sole design. This new updated version of the Montreal, dubbed the Hochelaga takes it’s colour cues from the aforementioned 81-82 version and also adds a brand new grey/burgandy version. It’s new title of Hochelaga comes from the name of the native Canadian Indian village that the city of Montreal was built on.
