ADIDAS EQT RACEWALK X HANON – WORKING MEN’S CLUB
2021-10-25Scottish menswear retailer Hanon and adidas Originals have a longstanding relationship, and in honor of the EQT line’s 30th anniversary, the two are back together for a collaboration on the EQT Race Walk.
The silhouette itself has never been reissued before, meaning this is the first time since it was first released in 1991 that it’s been reintroduced to the market.
Inspired by British Working Men’s Clubs of the ‘90s and the strong sense of nostalgia that often goes with them, the HANON EQT Race Walk leans into these cultural institutions for inspiration. Typically, each one includes a bar area, an additional function room, snooker and pool tables, a dartboard, and usually a small stage to offer live entertainment, such as bingo or cabaret. They are still around today, but sadly in decline, and the existing ones often feel like a time capsule to a bygone era. From the classic pub carpet to the ’70s styling and the disco lights, the clubs retain a charm and character that offer an insight into something uniquely British.
