adidas brings back the Torsion Edberg Comp

[Seth]

TW is now carrying the white/black colorway of Edberg’s classic shoe. I purchased the first colorway adidas reissued - the Crayon white/bright blue. I’m glad to see more classic tennis shoes being brought back.

The “Edberg” Ubersonic 3s are pretty cool too.

I wish they had brought back some Edberg shirts too.

 

[Al Czervik]

Awesome. I wish they brought back this one.

I will be getting the Edberg Ü3s to play with as a nod to one of my favourites, but the Originals are hopelessly outdated.

Nice. The OGs are outdated for an on-court option, but the 80s/90s athletic aesthetic is still hyped.

The group is weak. Huge Edberg fan here... how about some re-issue polos, tshirts, track jacket that he actually wore? He had some good stuff that he wore and this is an Edberg group? Better than nothing, but not much better....

I can’t disagree with you, but I’m just happy to get something.

This one is super weak:

Does anyone have any old catalogs or pics showing the original colorways of the Torsion Comps?

Jacket has no relevance to Edberg. Shoes are dumbed down, cushioning isn't the same, hard as a rock.... the circle in the heel used to functional, I think it was called soft cell, it isn't anymore.... disappointing. @adidas, call me, I can help you.

Not TW's fault, it is on adidas. Check out T Express, trying to sell basic adidas apparel as "Edberg" apparel. Holy misrepresentation

Not the first time Express has used shady tactics like that.

I'm hoping that it's a sign of leather in shoes making a comeback, though I'm probably in the minority on that matter.

I'm actually wearing a pair of leather Barricades (the Mustachios) as I type this, but I wouldn't want to play in them - way too hot. But they are far more comfortable than the regular Barricades.

That is the thing: the "soft cell" thingy was the pinnacle of the technology at the time. Now the times are different and the technology has moved on. It would be wrong form a philosophical perspective and extremely difficult and expensive from a technical point of view to provide the original technology for a limited run of shoes. The shoes are what they are: a tribute to the past, without trying to make any point: they are just casual wear and even as such the return of that technology won't make them better shoes than the current casual shoes. It is a balancing act between trying to satisfy some extremely small audience and reasonable approach.

The jacket (at least the yellow one I have seen) is not what Edberg was wearing, but it isn't the worst option what to market: Adidas track jackets used to be extremely simple, and the colour picks up a colour from the shoes and is a typical retro colour.

Unless they decide to come up with the exact same range that SE wore (I am not sure how relevant most of it would look anyway), it is a decent effort.

I hear you. I disagree, but maybe it's me.... glad you like the line.

Adidas missed the boat, they should have released an Edberg line when he was inducted into the HOF with modern dri materials.

How close is this to the Adidas Equipment Tennis Shoe. That is my favorite tennis shoe of all time

So cool. Thanks for sharing. I think I'm gonna get a pair. $100 is not that much nowadays.

I love the SE shirt design. If adidas brings those back with dri-fit type of material, I would be a very happy customer.

The other colorway is sub-$100 on GOAT app FYI.

I really like these Edberg's, it's a shame they’re not game day shoes.
