The BW Army originated with the Bundeswehr, the West German army, for which adidas manufactured indoor training shoes in the late 1970s for around 500,000 soldiers: a white leather upper, suede toe cap, and rubber sole, with no visible branding. After German reunification in 1989, thousands of pairs ended up on the second-hand market and were adopted by the streetwear scene, gaining prominence when Maison Margiela launched a controversial luxury replica of the model.
The silhouette retains the original austere and functional design, with no visible logos on the upper. In Black Patent Leather, the black finish is given a glossy patent sheen that reinterprets military sobriety with a touch of urban luxury.
Austere design with real military heritage, reinterpreted in patent leather. At Next Step, we offer it 100% new and authentic. With 14 calendar days for returns from receipt. Fast shipping to Spain and throughout Europe.
