Even though the Olympics in Los Angeles are still a while away (they kick off in July 2028, by the way), adidas clearly couldn’t contain its excitement. With three years to go, the Herzogenaurach-based sportswear giant has already unveiled the adidas LA Trainer OG Made in USA – and honestly, it couldn’t be more fitting.
If you didn’t already know, the LA Trainer first debuted back in 1984 during that year’s Los Angeles Summer Games. While the silhouette has resurfaced a handful of times over the past four decades, this latest retro re-release feels especially timely. Built on a tightly knit Dark Marine mesh base, the sneaker is overlaid with Preloved Violet suede, while shiny Silver Metallic accents highlight the Three Stripes and heel badge for a proper throwback finish.
