adidas’ retro BW Army trainer returned in full this year, though releases have been few and far between. Today, the Three Stripes added a two-pack of waxed canvas styles to their release calendar, with tonal Fall color schemes. Pairs release this week.
The adidas BW Army originated in the 1970s, when the Three Stripes made custom, unbranded trainers for the West German army. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the military group, thousands of these trainers were stored in warehouses until being found and redistributed to the masses. The silhouette became a cult classic, one that has spawned an immensely popular Margiela Replica sneaker. Now, adidas is reclaiming their design, with a fresh wave of releases in 2025.
This week, it appears adidas is jumping the gun on Fall colors. Over the weekend, the Three Stripes updated their release calendar to add two new pairs of the BW Army to this week’s drops, dressing the shoe in two tonal styles perfect for the coming seasonal change. The pack also makes some material changes to the silhouette. Both pairs feature a waxed canvas underlay with frayed edges for each canvas panel. Toe caps and eyestays come in soft suedes, while the inner lining comes in a veg-tan leather. Colors come in either a “Grey” shade, which appears more brown in official photos, or a “Silver Pebble” shade, while has a nice tint of green to it.
