1972 Adidas West Germany Olympic Track Set | Archive Sportswear

Some pieces are found.

Others find you.

Discovered hanging on display in a small waterfront vintage shop in Portugal, this 1972 Adidas West Germany Olympic track set stopped me in my tracks.

 Originally produced in West Germany for the 1972 Olympic era, this archive set embodies the golden age of Adidas design. The powder blue colorway, oversized collar, rainbow sleeve stripes, embroidered Trefoil logo, and subtly flared trousers come together in a silhouette that feels just as relevant today as it did over fifty years ago.

More than vintage sportswear, this is a collector's piece that reflects an era when athletic design was thoughtful, refined, and built to last. Whether preserved as part of an archive or styled as a complete look, it stands as a remarkable example of Adidas' design legacy.

Please note: the trousers display minor age-related discoloration consistent with the garment's history. It has been intentionally left unrestored to preserve the integrity and authenticity of this archival piece.

A true one-of-one find for the collector, stylist, or fashion enthusiast who understands that some garments transcend trends.
