Adidas Dragon (black)
MATERIALS OF THE WORLD
In a world fo ma-made everything, where everything is mass produced and machine made, Adidas originals embarks on a journey around the world, picking up traditional fabrics on the way and using them to reinterpret iconic adidas styles. Available in limited quantities, these pieces are made using 100% authentic fabrics from around the world. Often hand-woven, hand-dyed or hand-stitched these fabrics represent a return to more traditional values and a representation of the countries the fabrics came from originally.
CHINA
Since the time of the ancient Chinese dynasty, a time when the Emperors demanded exclusive use of its symbolism, the dragon has been celebrated as a divine mythical creature that brings with it associations of power, goodness and heroism, divinity and nobility. As an emblem of energy, optimism and ambition, the dragon symbol still gives much comfort and inspiration to Chinese people around the world.
Introduced in the early-to-mid 70s, the Dragon quickly became a popular basic training shoe.
