BSTN x adidas München Releases September 23
BSTN, the Munich-based retailer, is marking Oktoberfest with a three-shoe adidas München collaboration that pairs heritage design with unexpected pastel execution. The pack arrives September 23 exclusively through BSTN, featuring a returning brown option and two newly conceived colorways in pink suede and smoky grey-blue.

A City Series Collaboration Built on Geographic Alignment
The adidas City Series has long thrived on specificity—pairing models with the cities that birthed them or adopted them early. The München, true to its name, demands a Munich partner, and BSTN delivers exactly that: a retailer operating from the silhouette's native ground, collaborating on a seasonal moment as culturally rooted as it gets. The synergy between brand, city, model, and occasion renders this partnership almost inevitable in retrospect.
This marks the second iteration of the BSTN x adidas München Oktoberfest project, building on last year's foundation while steering the aesthetic in a notably different direction.
Design Details: From Tradition to Pastel
The collection maintains the beer-hall-meets-sneaker vocabulary established previously. Custom branding appears on the tongue and insoles with Oktoberfest-themed messaging—"salute" embroidered alongside the three stripes as a nod to "cheers." Checkered insoles reference traditional Bavarian textile patterns, while custom packaging reinforces BSTN's imprint on the project.
Where the 2025 edition leaned into earthen tones—brown and light khaki capturing classic Alpine sensibility—the 2026 interpretation pivots toward unexpected softness. Two new colorways embrace pastels: one executed in pink suede with brown insoles, the other in a faded grey-blue combination. A third option returns the brown silhouette from the previous year, providing continuity for collectors.
The pastel direction represents a deliberate tonal departure. Rather than reject the Bavarian context, the design reinterprets it through a contemporary lens—acknowledging that tradition and restraint can coexist with modern color sensibility. The materials remain premium throughout: suede construction on select pairs, quality insole execution, and attention to the discrete details that distinguish collaborative work from standard retail offerings.
