Adidas Originals Dublin ‘Anniversary City Series’ - a tribute to a legend

Dublin - the city of Guinness, literature and unbeatable atmosphere. Ireland’s capital is where history and modern life mix on every corner. And it’s here, to the rhythm of Celtic tunes, that a true legend has returned – the adidas Originals Dublin from the Anniversary City Series.

A classic since 1976

The adidas Dublin first dropped in 1976. Produced in Germany, Yugoslavia and Romania, it quickly became one of the most distinctive models in the legendary City Series. Its iconic colourway - deep blue with bold orange accents - originally referenced the burning towers on Dublin’s coat of arms. Now, to mark another anniversary, this cult favourite returns in a fresh new take.

Limited edition - packed with details

This year’s Dublin ‘Anniversary City Series’ isn’t just about nostalgia, it’s a tribute to the Irish capital. adidas went with subtly textured leather, designed to echo the look of old oak barrels used in ageing Irish whiskey. The classic three stripes and jagged lacing stay true to the DNA of the model, while personalised details like the gold-stamped “1/2025” on the heel and side make this pair truly unique.

Where and when could you cop?

The limited adidas Dublin release dropped on 16 March 2025 through an exclusive raffle at size? - just a day before the legendary St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. A handful of lucky heads even picked up their pairs early, on 15 March at size?’s Dublin store.

Those quick enough now own one of the cleanest comebacks in sneaker history. The adidas Originals Dublin from the Anniversary City Series is a gem for anyone who loves heritage and style. St. Patrick’s Day might be behind us, but these kicks are still the perfect excuse to throw on something green, meet up with your crew and celebrate proper style 🍀.
