As part of its continued focus on terrace heritage and archival storytelling, Size? turns its attention to one of adidas’ most underrated City Series silhouettes with the adidas Originals Paris “City Flip”. First introduced in the late 1970s, the Paris was designed as a lightweight training shoe, but it quickly transformed sport and became embraced in European streets.
The biggest change comes through the upper. The sneaker is wrapped in premium red suede, a rich and uniform finish. It’s a colour choice that gives a presence to the pair. The classic T-toe remains tonal, allowing the suede to do the heavy lifting. All this while contrasting clean blue leather 3-Stripes sit on the side panels.
Branding is kept low-key here. Gold foil “PARIS” lettering sit on the lateral side, paired with adidas Originals branding that mirrors vintage City Series. It is a small, but important detail that reinforces the sneaker. Underfoot, the slim rubber outsole stays true to the model’s lightweight origins.
