How does the Campus 00s fit compared with other adidas sneakers?

It fits true to size for most people, but the shape is wide and roomy. Narrow-footed shoppers often size down half a size.

Is the Campus 00s good for skateboarding?

It has a gum herringbone outsole for grip, but it is a lifestyle shoe with a thick, heavy sole. Dedicated skate models offer more board feel.

How does it compare with the Campus 80s?

The 00s is chunkier, with a thicker sole, more padding and a wider toe box. The 80s is lower and closer to the original court shoe.

What is the upper made of?

Black suede with white contrast stitching on the overlays, plus white Trefoil branding on the tongue and heel.

How should I care for the suede?

Brush off dirt when dry and use a suede protector. Avoid machine washing, which can stiffen and discolor the suede.

Our take on the Campus 00s "Core Black"

The adidas Campus 00s is a chunky, skate-inspired low-top built on Y2K-era proportions. This Core Black version uses black suede with white contrast stitching, white Trefoil branding on the tongue and heel, and an off-white midsole over a gum herringbone outsole. It is a lifestyle shoe first: the padded collar and thick sole suit everyday wear, while the gum outsole gives real grip. Against slimmer classics like the Samba or Gazelle, it is bulkier and softer underfoot; against the Campus 80s, it sits taller and wider. Owners rate it highly for looks and comfort out of the box, though some find the wide, heavy build less precise for actual skating.
