Adidas BW Army

There are silhouettes that need no explanation – the Adidas BW Army is one of them. Adidas developed the shoe in the 1970s for the West German Bundeswehr, with BW standing for that. From military trainer to high fashion cult status, Adidas Originals now makes it a streetwear classic. Without the three stripes, the silhouette appears more minimalist and serious than sporty. This version comes entirely in Core Black – a complete blackout without contrasts. The premium leather upper features a tonal suede T-toe with overlays, while the soft leather lining ensures daily comfort, and subtle tonal branding on the sole and tongue completes the look. The gum sole adds the only warmer accent. Cleaner blackout, reliable base, a piece of real uniform history underfoot – the BW Army remains relevant because it never has to be loud.
