Transit Heritage with adidas Originals
Transit Heritage with adidas Originals

Shot by Ryan Murphy along Wellington Street, our latest editorial places two archival adidas Originals models into the heart of Perth's central transit corridor. The backdrop centers on the historic Perth Railway Station, designed by Western Australia’s Principal Architect George Temple-Poole and opened in 1894. Defined by its late-19th-century Federation Free Classical facade and grand arched entryways, the building remains a primary architectural anchor for commuters, students, and workers moving through the city each day.

The adidas BW Army "Triple Black" sits at the core of the men's look. First produced in the 1970s as a functional indoor training shoe for the German Federal Defense Forces, its paneled leather upper and low-profile sole strip away excess detail in favor of raw utility. Styled naturally by the HAL team, it pairs back with a Satisfy MothTech tee, lightweight outer layers, and relaxed grey Levi's denim, presenting a practical uniform drawn directly from the HAL Department Store floors.

Across the bus strip, the women's Japan Lux offers a distinct entry into adidas track heritage. Tracing back to footwear designed for the 1964 Tokyo Games, the silhouette features a slim footprint, supple black leather, and sharp white three-stripes. The pair grounds a casual Level 02 outfit built with a red collared knit from Kowtow, light-wash Levi's denim, an Arcs shoulder bag, and a HAL | Kinto travel tumbler.

Both silhouettes share a common language built on low-slung durability and historical design. Free from any heavy tech or exaggerated soles, the BW Army and Japan Lux transition seamlessly from train platforms to office, anchoring a balanced mix of menswear, Level 02 womenswear, and lifestyle products.
