The adidas by 032c GSG 9 – official code: GSG-9.032c – is an update of the German sportswear company's historic tactical boot, channeling the GSG 9’s traditional all-terrain features through a functional, free aesthetic of 1990s European counter-culture.
Available in grey suede and highlighted with flashes of reflective 3M, the adidas by 032c GSG 9 combines Berlin’s anti-institutional history with the city’s brutalist post-war architecture: former bunkers that were transformed into recesses of freedom after the fall of the Wall, where sweaty ravers stress-tested their repurposed combat pants and work boots.
The shoe is the debut release in the adidas by 032c sportswear line.
