SERIES: ADIDAS CITY SERIES CITY SERIES (EUROPEAN CITY SERIES)
MADE IN: WEST GERMANY
The adidas Brüssel isn’t a model one comes across very often and some maybe haven’t heard of it, but to those that know about it the Brüssel is regarded as one of the best models to be released in the European City series. Originally made in West Germany in the early 70′s, the Brüssel silhouette featured a black suede upper with orange leather stripes and heeltab, and a brown odenwald sole.
Considering the amount of City series models that have been re-issued in the past few years it’s a surprise that there hasn’t been a re-appearance of the Brüssel. This is especially true considering the popularity of the model among adidas fans and trainer collectors. However, adidas did release the London model in the Brüssel colorway in September 2010 which was an instant hit for fans of the colorway but not so much for the adidas purists due to the fact that it wasn’t an actual Brüssel mold that was used for the release.
Regardless of the form that the Brüssel is produced in, it remains a classic for many and will likely continue to be for a very long time.

Contribute hype to eatmoreshoes
Here at eatmoreshoes we love our kicks, but we also open our minds to the greater cultural world that surrounds and engulfs the sneaker scenes around the world. Music, arts, events, films, performance, fashion, food, and people are at the heart of what is so good about lush leather and sweet suede strapped to your ankles with soft vintage laces, fats or thins, colored or bleached. We truly believe it’s the diversity of the scenes that make things stay exciting and keep up momentum year after year.
For this reason we see ‘hype’ as something that should cover more than just the most recent shoe releases or the most awaited collaborations between boutiques and brands. We think an album debut party or an avantgarde street performance could be ‘hype’. We think independent zine issues and self-built, DIY, underground gallery spaces are worthy of the title ‘hype’.
How to contribute
Currently eatmoreshoes is open to covering and promoting any creative individuals who love sneakers and find themselves (and their work) somehow relative to the various shoe scenes around the globe. If this is you – a creative person who loves their kicks and needs to get the word out about their personal and/or professional work – then please shoot us an email at info@eatmoreshoes.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
