Zuckerberg, though not quite as famous for his fashion tastes as the Louis Vuitton Don himself, has influenced an entire generation of would-be tech moguls, many of whom emulate the Meta founder’s simple attire down to his discontinued Santiossages. Again, this is due largely in part to celebrity influence, as figures such as Ye and even Mark Zuckerberg have helped bring these shower shoes out of the locker room. Paralleling the rise of athleisure, the shower slide - and thus the Adilette - has gradually become more and more prolific over the decades. What’s more, the brand continues to innovate on the original heavily, going as far to create a clog-inspired interpretation, which - alongside the newest to the line-up - is among one of the most unique additions to the collection. Alongside a healthy, replenishing stock of the latter, adidas also offers slightly distinct variants made with comfort, everyday lounging, poolside activities, and much more in mind. And today, the name is no longer restricted to the original model. Thanks to the influence of numerous celebrities, the Adilette is as much a shower slide as it is a fashion statement.
When the shoe was officially brought to market two years later in 1972, it was extremely popular, quickly becoming one of the Three Stripes’ best selling products. Positioned as a shower slide, Adilette made its first public appearance in 1970 alongside the German national football team.
While he knew what he wanted to create, Adi Dassler wouldn’t put the sandal into production until almost a decade later, as he was awaiting further advances in technology. As the story goes, Adi Dassler conceptualized the sandal following a conversation with a football manager/close friend, who desired a shoe that could protect his players from the germ-ridden swamp that was the football club’s shared shower space. While it made its official debut in the early ’70s, the history of the Adilette dates as far back as 1963.
