Despite what the weather might be doing at the moment, it is meant to be sunny, it is meant to be hot, and we are all meant to be permanently living in the beer garden.
Even if you don’t drink, the beer garden is a magical place, there’s something about the buzz of chat, low hum of nearby traffic, and faint ciggy smell that makes all of life’s worries momentarily dissipate. We reckon that one of the best things about the beer garden (besides the beer) is the clobber you select to wear. There absolutely is such a thing as a beer garden outfit, and it’s usually comprised of shorts, a lightweight shirt, and a pair of pristine trainers.
For those trainers, there are few footwear brands as appropriate as adidas, the brand’s minimal three stripe design language perfectly matches the chilled out ambience. So, to celebrate the beer garden weather we definitely should be experiencing right now, here’s a Six of the Best beer garden adidas.

Big beer garden colourway on this pair of Sambas. Nice grass stain-resistant gum sole, and they have the benefit of matching flawlessly with a crisp pint of Red Stripe.
This is a very refined pair of beer garden adidas. Not for the faint-hearted, or those that have a tendency to spill their drinks. Best suited for those blokes who always drink Asahi or Peroni. No chance you’d catch a guy in these drinking Boddingtons Best Bitter.
These Tobaccos are on the opposite end of the spectrum to the above pair, they’re for those blokes who aren’t scared to get stuck in. They’re not bothered what drink you get them, as long as it contains booze. Tennents, Carling, Carlsberg – they’re not arsed. Different story if you come back with a half pint of shandy though.
If you spot a pair of these Gazelles in the beer garden, chances are the fella wearing them is Irish, or one of their distant relatives is. And if you come back with anything less than a Guinness for them, they’re not going to be happy. Truthfully, they can’t wait to get out of the beer garden – rather be inside listening to the sweet sounds of Shane MacGowan through the jukebox.
Handball Spezial GREY/WHITE/WHITE
These Handball Spezials are a bit hard to read. Obviously, they’re a good pair for the beer garden, but we can’t find a stereotype to fit them. We reckon they’re probably worn by those reliable blokes. The ones that are there from the start and don’t leave until the end. Always happy to get a round in – they’re just pleased everyone’s having a good time.
Handball Spezial WHITE/BLUE/SANDSTONE
An undeniably summery pair of Handball Spezials in a quintessential blue and white colourway. These are for the blokes that fancy themselves a bit – the ones who always move onto rum and cokes after a couple of pints, and always seem to bump into someone more important and spend their whole evening with them instead.
