About the release
BSTN is back with the third chapter of its long-running 'O.G. With A Twist' series with adidas Oregon Originals. After previous chapters revived the Samba and Handball Spezial, the Munich-based retailer has now dug deeper into the adidas archive to pull out the Oregon Ultra Tech — a 1991 trail runner that never became a household name but sits as a genuine hidden gem in the Three Stripes catalog. Two colourways drop side by side: a lilac and butter yellow 'Purple' pair (LC0457) and a white, black and multi-tonal blue 'Black' pair (LA3457). Retail is £110 per pair.
BSTN's whole approach with the series is restraint — not reinventing the silhouettes but revisiting original adidas silhouettes through a contemporary lens. As they put it themselves: "Sometimes the strongest twist is knowing when not to overcomplicate things." Both Oregon Ultra Tech pairs maintain the model's classic construction from the early 90s — bold proportions, layered construction, distinctive colour combinations — with just enough seasonal palette work to give the shoe a modern reason to exist. The campaign is fronted by Real Madrid and Brazil legend Marcelo, whose creative, effortless style matches the quiet confidence of the shoe itself.
UK release is Saturday 22 August 2026 at 10:00 AM CEST (9:00 AM BST), exclusively via BSTN online, for £110 per pair.

adidas Oregon Ultra Tech 'Purple' — Design and details
The Purple pair is the more visually distinctive of the two, running an Easter-ready palette that lets the Oregon Ultra Tech's characteristic layered construction land as the visual focus. Colours run off-white, lilac purple, light blue and pale butter yellow — soft, seasonal tones you don't often see across a technical archive runner.
Lilac and butter yellow palette
The palette is where the 'twist' lives on this pair. Lilac and butter yellow anchor the accent zones, sitting against an off-white base with light blue detailing. It's a properly considered spring-forward colour direction that treats the Oregon Ultra Tech's technical panel structure like a canvas. The lilac and yellow combination is the kind of thing you'd see on a mid-1990s European trail runner in period, translated forward with slightly modernised saturation.
Layered upper construction
The upper stays true to the OG Oregon Ultra Tech build — bold proportions, layered mesh and synthetic construction, and distinctive early 90s panel geometry. No material shortcuts, no simplification. BSTN's approach means the silhouette's character does the work rather than any conceptual redesign.
adidas Oregon Ultra Tech 'Black' — Design and details
The Black pair is the more restrained, everyday-facing execution of the two. Running white, black and multi-tonal blue, it lands as a classic retro runner combo — the sort of pair that fits into a rotation without demanding attention, but properly rewards a closer look.
White, black and multi-tonal blue
The palette runs a white base with black handling the branding and structural panels, and multi-tonal blue accents — different shades of blue placed across different panel zones — providing the depth. It's a controlled colour story that reads as authentic to the early 90s technical running aesthetic without leaning on nostalgia for its own sake.
Same OG construction
Construction is identical to the Purple pair — same bold proportions, same layered materials, same period-correct silhouette geometry. The two pairs are effectively different colour interpretations of the same core execution.

BSTN, the 'O.G. With A Twist' series and the Oregon Ultra Tech's archive weight
BSTN is one of Europe's more respected sneaker retailers, headquartered in Munich, with a long history of adidas collaborations that dig into corners of the archive most retailers wouldn't touch. The 'O.G. With A Twist' series was launched in November 2023 as a dedicated framework for revisiting original adidas silhouettes with modern seasonal palettes — no radical redesign, just informed reinterpretation. Chapter One tackled the Samba. Chapter Two reworked the Handball Spezial in luxurious materials. This Chapter Three shifts to the Oregon Ultra Tech, which BSTN describes as looking "beyond the icons and into one of the hidden gems of the adidas archive."
The Oregon Ultra Tech first arrived in 1991 as part of adidas's early 90s trail running push. It reflects the era's expressive technical running design — bold proportions, layered construction and distinctive colour combinations designed to stand out on the trail. While the silhouette never reached the universal recognition of the Samba, the Superstar or the ZX 8000, it remains a proper reminder of just how deep the Three Stripes archive runs. For collectors who follow adidas's lesser-known technical silhouettes, this reissue is a genuinely welcome return.
The campaign is fronted by Marcelo — Real Madrid legend and Brazil national team veteran — whose off-pitch style has always leaned into the same quiet, considered confidence that BSTN is trying to capture with this shoe. He's a well-chosen face for a project that leans into archive credibility over hype-driven marketing.
