adidas bring the 'Cord' back into the fold. Back from the archives with a suede upper, 3-Stripes and rich colours. Originally meant to be worn with corduroy trousers these training shoes took a bold step into the realm of fashion at a time when trainers were mostly for sport. Adopted by savvy youths the cord has since become a time-honoured favourite due to its low profile and appealing suede colour combinations.
