I went through several pairs of these and Gazelles between 1971-1975 and was crushed when Adidas stopped making them. I couldn’t believe it! They were what led to me becoming a serious distance runner. I wish they would re-release them like they did the Gazelle, BUT EXACTLY as they were, not with the new plastic tongue, etc.

I wore these in the early 1970′s…… probably the best running shoe at the time and almost certainly one of the best ever. The suede upper is a bit of a disadvantage when it rains…maybe thet’s partly why Adidas brought out the SL72, which was, if I remember correctly the first of many running shoes with nylon uppers.

I was in high school when these came out when the only way you could get Adidas where I lived in Illinois was mail order… My friend had a pair of these and the matching pair of Aztec spikes…he was soooooo cool.

They were very similar Ben, underated shoe the training72, there were also a teal coloured pair which were nice. The Mexicana and Cancun are joint 1st on my most wanted list!

Lovely pair of /// and a excellent write up Mike…. Although Training 72 had a reissue which was as close as damn it to the mexicana…
