Surely a man who needs no introduction, Ilie Nastase was one of the best tennis players of the 1970s and 80s, and one heck of a tennis-shoe muse. Relive the glory days of Nastase's reign in the tennis world with the adidas Nastase leather retro shoes. Who can forget when he came in second at the French Open in 1971, or that famous win at the Avis Challenge Cup in 1976? You certainly won't in your adidas Nastases. Neither will anyone else when they see his name written on your heel tab or on your tongue (The shoe's tongue of course, although any oral tattoos you may have are your own business).Whether you take advantage of the adidas Nastase's classic comfort and on-court traction to actually play tennis, or if you just want their unique stylish look to compliment your casual wardrobe, you can certainly take inspiration from the career of "Nasty" Nastase (his actual nickname) and apply the countless lessons in this glorious Romanian's life to your own, whether you have any idea who he is or not.
