adidas lifestyle : trainers and fleece

What basketball players wear off the court

On this page, Basket-Center customers primarily buy casual shoes and flip-flops, well ahead of clothing. This makes sense: flip-flops fit into the sports bag, while casual shoes take over from the walk to school to the office. The rest of the selection covers sweatshirts, joggers, tracksuits, socks, caps, and backpacks.

Adilette and Purechill, the post-match pair

The Adilette is the single strap, three stripe flip-flop designed for the changing room and shower. Its Comfort versions, which are softer, are better suited for walking. The Purechill models, recovery shoes or sandals, feature a soft sole that cradles the foot after exercise. Slip them on at the final whistle, before hitting the road again.

Barreda, Streettalk, Breaknet: the casual shoes

In terms of shoes, adidas mainly offers low profiles inspired by tennis courts and skateboarding. The Barreda and Breaknet keep it simple, the Streettalk features a thicker sole for women, and the VL Court retains its suede upper. For a more 2000s style, the Technochaos brings back the aesthetics of running shoes from that era. These are everyday shoes: to play basketball, you need a pair made for the court.

Sweatshirts, joggers, and three stripe puffer jackets

The Essentials line includes the basics from adidas: hooded sweatshirts or crew necks, joggers, tracksuits, and puffer jackets, with three stripes on the sleeve or leg. Tracksuit jackets and sets complete the offer for those who want a coordinated look in one purchase.

Kids are not forgotten

A good portion of the selection is tailored for children and babies. The Tensaur shoes, easy to put on, outfit little feet for school and recess, and the three stripe tracksuits come in junior sizes. The age filter isolates them in one click.

Different brands, different styles

To mix it up, check out the chunky sole shoes from Fila or the streetwear from Project X Paris. A New Era cap or a Kangol beret completes a sportswear look. All brands are on the lifestyle brands page.

The three stripes at a better price

To pay less for a pair or a sweatshirt, follow the promo calendar. The Black Friday lifestyle comes first, then the Christmas page for gifts, followed by the sales. Throughout the year, good deals and clearance bring together end-of-line items.

Frequently asked questions

Can you wear Adilette flip-flops with socks?

Yes, it’s even a classic for post-match and the changing room. Choose plain socks or ones that match the strap for a neat look. For long walks outside, a Purechill sandal with a back strap holds the foot better.

Do adidas lifestyle shoes fit like the brand's basketball shoes?

Not always: casual styles are often narrower and less cushioned. Stick to your usual size and check the guide on the product page. If you have wide feet, opt for models in leather or suede, which will shape to your foot.

How do you choose the size for a growing child?

Measure their foot while standing at the end of the day, and add about a centimetre for comfort. A shoe that's too big is as uncomfortable as one that's too small. Check the size every three to four months for younger kids.

How do you clean a white leather shoe?

A soft brush, warm water, and mild soap are all you need for the upper. Clean the sole with an old toothbrush and let it air dry, away from the radiator. Avoid the washing machine, which can separate and distort them.

Is an Essentials puffer enough for winter?

For the city and commutes, yes, especially with a sweatshirt underneath. To stay still for a long time in the cold, such as in an outdoor stand, a longer parka offers better protection. Check the length and hood on the product page.
