Drawing inspiration from the dawn of the digital era, a time when adidas was crushing the sneaker game, the new adidas Archive_M1 is dripping in old school cool. Billed as “an antidote to today’s gadget-fueled age of information overload,” the Archive_M1 is both simple and nostalgic. Simple because it features an easy-to-read, basic display and just a few buttons. Nostalgic because there’s no way this thing doesn’t conjure up images of an old Casio watch. Available in four different colorways (we’re big fans of the Silver/Black/Blue/Red), the Archive_M1 is available today for $130. An upgraded model, the Archive_CM1, is limited to 200 and will run you fifty bucks more. It’s time for a return to a simpler, more stylish era.
