Questions answered
FAQ
What is the Adidas City Series?
The City Series is a range of Adidas sneakers from the 1970s-80s, each named after a European city (Dublin, Stockholm, Koln, Mallorca, etc.). They were originally sold in their namesake cities and have become collector items tied to European football terrace culture.
How does the Mallorca compare to the Samba or Gazelle?
The Mallorca is rarer and carries City Series collector cachet that the Samba and Gazelle don't. On pure wearability, the Samba and Gazelle are more versatile with better availability. The Mallorca is for deeper Adidas enthusiasts.
Is the Mallorca comfortable?
Standard retro Adidas comfort — a flat, thin sole with minimal cushioning. Adequate for daily wear but not remarkable. Similar feel to wearing a Gazelle or Campus.
Is the Mallorca worth buying at resale?
For City Series collectors, yes — the limited production runs make resale the only option for some colorways. For casual buyers, the premium over retail Sambas or Gazelles is hard to justify on comfort or versatility grounds.
