Adidas Japan Warm Sandstone Crystal Sand Pony

Adidas Japan Warm Sandstone Crystal Sand Pony — Tokyo 1964 in Sand Tones

The adidas Japan was made in 1964 for the Tokyo Olympic Games, as part of the 6R training range the brand prepared for the event. Its philosophy is “less is more”: a very slim cut, quality leather, discreet side branding, a leather heel pull tab, and a low-profile off-white sole that adds nothing extra. adidas has brought it back to its general catalog with premium reissues that retain original details such as the toe’s double stitching and suede overlays.

The Japan — slim silhouette, pony finish

What sets this version apart is the material: a short-haired pony finish that provides a matte, velvety texture, very different from the smooth leather usually used. The color palette ranges from Warm Sandstone, a warm sand tone, to Crystal Sand on the panels and sole, so the shoe reads almost as a single color and all the appeal lies in the contrast between textures.

Materials and technology
