A shoe which started life as a piece of footwear designed for the sport of Table Tennis, the adidas Tischtennis (it's German) returns at the ripe age of forty six.

Table Tennis is one of those sports which is incredibly fun to play whilst being insanely competitive at the professional level. If you've never watched championship-level ping pong, then you're in for a treat. Turns out, table tennis can also play a part in thawing off tensions between nations.

Originally released in 1978, the Tischtennis slots into the modern wardrobe with absolute ease. The slimline uppers, super breezy crochet mesh and wavy stitched suede overlays look more like a high-fashion collaboration than boomer-aged sports sneaker.
