Adidas Originals Adilettes
The adidas Originals Adilette – the absolute cult classic among adidas slides – is far more than just a simple pool shoe. It's a true streetwear cultural icon that combines uncompromising functionality, comfortable wear, and unmistakable retro style. Since its introduction in 1972, the Adilette has completely blurred the lines between the swimming pool, the beach, and urban streetwear. At Stickabush, you'll find the full range of adidas Originals Adilettes – from timeless classics to modern, sculptural slides.
Functionality meets iconic terrace look
The distinctive aesthetic of arguably the world's most famous sandal is immediately recognizable. The wide strap with the characteristic three stripes and the contoured footbed sole ensure its unmistakable look. These comfortable slides are characterized by the following core features:
- Quick-drying materials: The synthetic upper and robust sole are designed for absolute water resistance – ideal for the pool, beach, and sauna.
- Ergonomic footbed: The pre-shaped sole offers optimal support and comfortable cushioning for all-day comfort on the streets of Berlin.
Variety of models: From vintage vibes to futuristic slides
Whether you're looking for the timeless retro look of the 70s or riding the wave of the latest street style trends, adidas offers the right model for every taste:
- Adilette Aqua: The minimalist, ultralight one-piece variant, perfect for wet areas in the shower and outdoor pool.
- Adilette Comfort: Equipped with extremely soft Cloudfoam technology for a pillow-like, cushioned feel with every step.
- Adilette 22 & Premium Styles: Futuristic designs inspired by 3D topographies, which finally elevate the classic slide to a high-fashion statement in urban spaces.
Modernly combined, adidas slides are no longer just for the beach chair: teamed with fresh tennis socks and casual adidas shorts, you create the ultimate Blokecore and athleisure look for summer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – adidas Originals Adiletten
Are adidas Adilettes waterproof and suitable for the shower?
That depends entirely on the model. The classic Adilette with the typical textile lining on the inside of the strap absorbs water and dries slower. For the shower, swimming pool, or beach, we recommend the Adilette Aqua or the Adilette Shower, as these are completely molded from quick-drying EVA material.
How do adidas Adilettes fit? Should I order a size up?
Yes, adidas Adilettes tend to run smaller and significantly narrower. Especially the fixed strap (the band) feels very tight at first. For optimal wearing comfort, we recommend ordering your Adilettes at least one full size larger than your normal shoe size – especially if you want to wear them with socks in the trendy street style look.
What is the difference between the classic Adilette and the Adilette 22?
The classic Adilette embodies the timeless retro look of the 70s and 80s with its flat, iconic three stripes. The Adilette 22, on the other hand, breaks with this design: it offers a significantly thicker, sculptural sole with a wave-like structure inspired by futuristic Mars expeditions and is considered a true fashion statement.
