Men's adidas Trainers
Men's adidas trainers are having one of those runs where there is no single shape leading the category. Samba and Handball Spezial still own plenty of the low-profile space, Gazelle remains an easy everyday option, while SL 72 and Adizero Evo SL bring more of a running shape into the mix.
At Pro:Direct, the men's adidas trainers range covers adidas Originals classics, terrace favourites, retro runners and newer performance-led silhouettes. Start with the shape you want, then filter by size, colour and collection.
Popular adidas Trainers for Men
The adidas Samba is still one of the easiest places to start. Slim, low to the ground and closely tied to football, it works best if you like a cleaner trainer that sits neatly under denim, cargos or straighter trousers.
Handball Spezial has a similar low-profile feel but with a little more softness and shape through the upper. Its suede construction and gum sole give it that familiar terrace look, making it a strong option if you like Samba but want something slightly less sharp.
Gazelle sits somewhere between the two in attitude. It is simple, recognisable and easy to wear, with enough colour options to move beyond the standard black, white and navy rotation.
For something different, SL 72 brings more retro-running influence. The lighter build, nylon and suede mix and slimmer sole give it a proper 1970s track feel without looking like a performance shoe.
Then there is the adidas Adizero Evo SL. It comes from the running side of adidas rather than Originals, but its lightweight shape has crossed comfortably into everyday wear. If Samba and Spezial feel too flat or familiar, Evo SL gives you a cleaner, faster-looking alternative with more cushioning underfoot.
Find the adidas Shape That Suits You
If you want low-profile, start with Samba, Handball Spezial or Gazelle. If retro runners are more your thing, look at SL 72 and similar archive-led styles. For more cushioning and a modern running look, Adizero Evo SL gives the adidas range a completely different feel.
You will also find Campus, Superstar and Stan Smith across the wider men's adidas trainers collection, giving you everything from chunkier suede shapes to simple leather staples.
