Serve and smash in style with the adidas Tischtennis

Originally introduced in the late 1970s, the Tischtennis was crafted as a table tennis iteration of the iconic Stan Smith silhouette. Its emergence collided with a pivotal moment in history, characterized by the era of „ping pong diplomacy“, where sports, particularly table tennis, played a significant role in easing tensions during the Cold War.

Although the Tischtennis briefly resurfaced in 2020 with two colorways, it soon vanished from the shelves. However, its comeback in 2024 promises to be a faithful recreation of the original 1978 version. Constructed with a light and breathable mesh material in ‚Footwear White‘, the shoe retains its signature design elements, including the iconic three green ribbon-like Three Stripes adorning the lateral and medial sidewalls.

The Tischtennis is not just a sneaker; it’s a symbol of nostalgia and sporting heritage. Its reissue pays homage to its legacy while offering sneaker enthusiasts and athletes alike an opportunity to experience a piece of history. As it hits the shelves once again, the adidas Tischtennis invites individuals to embrace its timeless appeal and celebrate its enduring legacy in the realm of footwear fashion.

In close partnership with adidas, a limited edition table tennis set has been meticulously designed to marry the essence of the iconic sneaker with the exhilarating sport that originally inspired it. This unique piece not only celebrates the revival of the Tischtennis but also offers enthusiasts an opportunity to immerse themselves in the spirit of the game with a touch of sneaker culture. Soon, we will announce on Instagram how to get a chance to obtain one.

The adidas Tischtennis is available now via solebox.com and all solebox locations.
