ssistance.

I am trying to locate a specific pair of shoes worn by a gentleman. Not the exact shoes that were on his feet, but the brand and model.

Please view the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KQy0gSLmiE

As you can see, the gentleman from 0:00 to 0:21 appears to be wearing a pair of blue low-top Adidas sneakers.

Now, I have done some research, and I believe I have located a few models that are an approximation of what that gentleman was wearing.

They appear to be something along the lines of Gazelles, Campus IIs, or Greenstars.

Please view the selections below:

As you can see, the only shoe that really comes close to mirroring the color (this is important) is the Campus II, however I'm unsure if it's the shoe that the gentleman was wearing. It's quite possible that it could have been Gazelles, but the color is just not manufactured anymore.

I'm attempting to track down the original source of the video, and I would then look into contacting Adidas about what shoes were available at that time.

its not from 1985?

True, but I'm attempting to see if the shoes are still for sale.

It looks like Adidas offers a blue Gazelle 2 on their website:

It looks very similar, although the gentleman's shoes in the video don't have a red bottom. I suppose that's the best I can do.

i think his have a white tongue too, none of the ones i've seen do anymore. hard to tell, the campus are probably the closest in this thread though

none of the above?

the white soles of the shoes in the video appear much thinner than those of the Gazelles, Campus IIs, or Greenstars.

maybe his are just worn out from dancing

it also looks like the sole comes up higher in the front/toe area

^^That's what's making this so difficult. I keep on locating shoes that are eerily close, but there's always a slight difference that rules them out.

^Good point.
