Description
A pair of brand new Adidas Originals Americana Hi sneakers in a vibrant collegiate blue suede. These high-top sneakers are a faithful recreation of one of Adidas' earliest basketball silhouettes. Features a soft suede upper, classic cream-white serrated 3-stripes, and a matching vintage-toned rubber sole. Includes original retail tags and tonal blue laces.
Key Features
Deadstock condition (NWT), collegiate retro aesthetic, highly desirable suede texture, and the 'Americana' model name which has a dedicated fanbase among Adidas terrace-wear collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct serrated edge on the stripes, proper tongue-tag positioning, consistent stitching density, and factory-attached plastic hang-tag. Confidence Level: High.
Flaws to Note
No visible flaws. Being suede, they are prone to light pressure marks or dust attraction during storage, but currently appear pristine.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broadest reach for sneakerheads), GOAT/StockX (if the original box is present), and Poshmark or Mercari for casual buyers looking for a retro style.
Selling Tips
Photograph the size tag clearly as buyers will want to check the ART number. Mention 'Vintage Retro Style' in the title. If you have the original box, include it in the main photo. Use keywords like 'Terrace Culture', 'Retro Basketball', and 'College Blue'.
