After a significant hiatus, Adidas release the R71. It's not de-ja vu, enthusiasts will instantly realise the R71 looks very similar to the Adidas Dragon, originally released in 1971. Predominantly aimed at the American market, the adidas Dragon was one of the brand’s first nylon running shoes, alongside the SL72 & Trimm-Master. 

The original version of the trainer didn’t feature the iconic T overlay on the toe, but was later reworked in 1976 to feature a rubber toe bumper, becoming the Dragon silhouette that we recognise today.

Adidas reissue the R71 for 2024, with updated mesh material, translucent outsoles & plush suede.
