Pistol Pete is a name that is not only well-known on the basketball court, but also within the sneaker scene too. Peter Press Maravich inspired many sneaker designs – and even his own silhouette – but it’s arguable that his biggest imprint on adidas Originals was the Pro Model.

This classic silhouette was done up in a shiny, smooth, white leather upper with complimentary colors shouting out against it. Blue and green side stripes, a blue heel patch and tongue tag, and finally the green, twin pistol logos on the heel and laces. The final dose of nostalgia comes from the off-white shell toe and outsole, bringing back that vintage look and feel.

Overall a great new colorway on an old ’70s silhouette, showing that adidas doesn’t forget to get the archive some love now and again.

Around 1965, a shoe seemingly dedicated to basketball debuted — the Supergrip. With its herringbone pattern outsole and familiar silhouette, the simple looks were technical in their time, back when a cushioned heel, arch support, foam insole and padded ankle were state-of-the-art and Cangoran leather was the only way to go. Almost from its debut, the Supergrip was accompanied by the high cut Pro Model (the Pro Model would ultimately go under the one-word Promodel name as well, seemingly dependant on whoever was labelling the box or writing a catalogue on any given day) version of the shoe, minus a rubber toe — conformation that, despite being a different version, the Pro Model dropped long before the Superstar.

New. No Box.
