The adidas Basket Profi was first released in 1969 and was reissued as early as 2012. Now, this high-top sneaker with its classic basketball charm is back and fits perfectly into adidas’ lineup of traditional court sneakers.
The shoe is shown here in the classic white-black colorway with gold details. Its overall look is therefore reminiscent of adidas classics like the Allround and the “high Superstar,” also known as the Pro Model.
The adidas Basket Profi was released three years before the Nike Blazer. The two silhouettes are very similar. Both shoes feature a narrow fit. Thanks to its unique sole and a reinforced ankle area, the Basket Profi was considered a high-quality performance sneaker in its day.
Back then, many high-top shoes were made of canvas, and thanks to its sturdy leather upper, the Basket Profi offered more support than others. You could still wear this sneaker on the court today—and then at the party afterward, too.
The adidas Basket Profi is a true basketball specialist—its silhouette and retro charm convey, like no other, the feeling that you’re ready to play a game of basketball right away.
Pair them with shorts and high socks for a sporty look, or wear them with long pants for street style—the adidas Basket Profi is a minimalist all-rounder.
The model is available in many different color combinations. Here you can see the high-top sneaker with a white leather upper and the Three Stripes logo in black suede.
The laces and the rubber outsole are white. The adidas branding appears in black lettering on the tongue and in gold on the side of the sneaker.
A black suede overlay is attached to the heel. The inner lining is also white, and the shoe, with its leather upper, offers the perfect combination of a sporty and elegant everyday look.
The adidas Basket Profi is available in various colorways, for example at 43einhalb, Der Stall, and KU-13.
