Mid-range gift ideas adidas

Hoodie and Tiro tracksuit: classic gifts

The hoodie adidas, made from soft fleece on the inside, comes with the trefoil logo for a city style or with the three angled stripes for training. The Tiro line, born in football, has become one of the most worn by players: its tapered trousers with zipped hems, made from lightweight technical fabric, can be put on over cleats for warming up and still look sharp in the city. The matching tracksuit jacket, zipped and equipped with pockets, forms a complete set with the trousers for team travel. These items come in men's, women's, and children's sizes, so the whole family can wear the brand's colours.

Football shirt adidas: club, national team, home or away

A football shirt is chosen first and foremost based on the team supported by the recipient, among the clubs and national teams equipped by adidas. The home shirt, in historical colours, remains the safest choice, the away shirt attracts those who want to stand out, and the third shirt, often bolder, appeals to collectors. For a mid-budget, the supporter version, which is roomier than the players' version, can be worn at the stadium or under a jacket. For a child, junior sizes are often expressed in age or height: choose the one that matches their actual size, allowing a bit of room for growth.

Spezial and BW Army: adidas sneakers with a unique history

The Spezial, released in 1979, was originally an indoor handball shoe: its suede upper, contrasting three stripes, and natural rubber sole made it an icon of the English terraces in the 1980s. The BW Army takes its design from a training shoe made in the 1970s for the German army, the Bundeswehr, hence its initials: white leather, suede inserts, and a rubber sole. These models can be worn with everyday clothing and generally fit to the usual size. A pair already worn by the recipient, discreetly turned inside out, will reveal the size to choose.

Frequently asked questions

What size is an adidas tracksuit?

adidas tracksuits generally run true to size, in regular or more fitted cuts depending on the style. Use the chest measurement for the jacket and the waist and leg length for the trousers.

Hoodie or tracksuit jacket: which gift to choose?

The hoodie, made from fleece, provides warmth and is worn as a casual layer. The tracksuit jacket, zipped and lighter, opens up during exercise and pairs with the matching trousers for training.

Which football shirt to give to a supporter?

Give the shirt of the club or national team they support, in the supporter version for everyday comfort. The home shirt is a surefire hit, while the away shirt or third shirt is suitable for someone who already has the classic.

How to wash an adidas hoodie?

Wash it inside out, at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, and let it dry flat rather than in the tumble dryer. This way, printed and embroidered logos retain their shape wash after wash.

Do BW Army sneakers run large?

The BW Army generally fits true to size, with a fairly narrow forefoot. A wider foot may need a half size larger for comfort throughout the day.
