Three Stripes Wide-Leg Track Pant
The adidas Originals Three Stripes Wide-Leg Track Pant is an athletic track pant made from lightweight, breathable 100% recycled polyester Primeblue jersey with a soft brushed underside. It features an elastic waistband with an inner drawstring, zippered hand pockets, and zippered ankles, plus a regular rise of 12 inches and a 31-inch inseam. Based on user reviews, the fit is oversized and runs large, so sizing down is often recommended, and the extra length may drape over shoes or require hemming.

Product Insights
The Three Stripes Wide-Leg Track Pant ($100, in stock) from Adidas Originals offers a clean, draped silhouette from brushed recycled polyester Primeblue jersey that breathes and wicks moisture. Its 31-inch inseam and 12-inch rise create a below-waist fit that reduces bunching but is too long for shorter wearers, though ankle zippers allow on/off over shoes, ventilation, and silhouette adjustment from full flare to tapered cropped, also enabling shorter wearers to clear the ground without hemming. Zippered pockets secure belongings. However, reliability of sizing is poor: buyers must go 1-2 sizes down from usual Adidas, which tightens thighs, size charts are inaccurate, and popular sizes are often out of stock. The pant lasts 4-5 years and is made from 50% Parley Ocean Plastic, combining sustainability with versatility for lounging and light activity, but at the cost of fit challenges due to length and sizing.
- Sizing
Buyers size down 1-2 sizes from usual Adidas size, may tighten thighs; size chart unreliable, popular variants often out of stock.
Why this is supported
Buyers report that the pants run oversized. A typical Adidas size M wearer notes,
They are oversize, meaning size chart won’t help you.
u/lopipingstocking in r/adidasThis leads many to size down 1-2 sizes. However, as a trade-off, sizing down can cause thigh tightness for those with larger legs. Additionally, popular sizes and specific colors are frequently out of stock; one buyer described searching for
i’ve searched for: track pants, hot pink adidas pants, adidas Originals Bellista three stripe wide leg pants in pink,
u/mycolorlesslife in r/HelpMeFindhighlighting availability issues.
- Length
31-inch inseam is too long for shorter wearers and drags even in XS/S; ankle zippers can shorten without hemming.
Why this is supported
The 31-inch inseam poses challenges for shorter and even average heights. A sizing Q&A notes,
For a 5'2" person, the 31" inseam is likely too long
Given the 31-inch inseam and wide leg, does the pant fit well for someone who is 5'2" or 5'9" without alterations?One buyer with size S confirms,
even with S size I slightly drag the pants on the ground
u/lopipingstocking in r/adidasTo mitigate this, the pants feature ankle zippers that, as stated in product descriptions, provide
ankle zippers for easy on and off
footlocker.com, allowing the wearer to taper the leg and effectively shorten the pant without hemming.
- Rise
12-inch rise sits below natural waist, reducing front bunching, but may feel low for longer torsos.
Why this is supported
The pant features a 12-inch mid-rise. Analysis describes:
The 12-inch front rise positions the elastic waist just below the natural waist, so the wide leg volume hangs from the hip without excess fabric bunching at the front
How the wide leg fits and drapes — 12_inch_mid_riseHowever, this rise may feel lower for those with longer torsos, as the waistband sits below the natural waist.
- Drape
Brushed polyester jersey drapes without static, giving a clean silhouette.
Why this is supported
The brushed polyester jersey fabric is designed to drape well. One analysis notes that it
drapes close to the body without static cling
How the wide leg fits and drapes — brushed_jersey_drape, which helps maintain the wide-leg silhouette without ballooning.
- On/off convenience
Ankle zips allow pulling pants on over sneakers or boots without removing shoes.
Why this is supported
The Footlocker listing states the zippers are made for
ankle zippers for easy on and off
footlocker.com, and a practical guide notes they also allow
layering over chunky soles

- Ventilation
Opening the ankle zippers provides active ventilation to prevent overheating.
Why this is supported
Footlocker's description states:
The added zippers at the ankles allow for ventilation and ease of movement
footlocker.com.
- Silhouette adjustability
Zipped ankles taper and shorten the leg; unzipped gives a full, pooling flare.
Why this is supported
Analysis of the product shows that unzipping the ankles provides a full, pooling flare while zipping tapers the leg from the calf and lifts the hem, reducing fabric drag. A buyer confirms the need for this adjustment:
even with S size I slightly drag the pants on the ground
u/lopipingstocking in r/adidas.
- Versatility
Suitable for lounging and light activity, unlike similar track pants without zips.
Why this is supported
Catalog found that the zippered ankles add functional versatility not present on the similar Adicolor line, and the product is marketed as

- Breathability
Breathes like a lightweight tee without mesh panels.
Why this is supported
The single‑layer jersey knit breathes through natural gaps:
The fabric is knit in a single‑layer jersey — the same basic construction as a lightweight tee — so the pant breathes through countless tiny gaps between yarns; warm air and moisture vapor pass through passively, keeping the interior dry without engineered mesh panels or perforations.

- Moisture wicking
Wicks sweat away from skin for fast evaporation.

Why this is supported
ankle zippers for easy on and off
footlocker.comallow for ventilation and ease of movement
footlocker.com, enabling the wearer to switch between a wide-leg and tapered silhouette.
- Inseam fit
31-inch inseam fits a 5 foot 9 wearer well but is about 3 inches too long for a 5 foot 2 wearer.
Why this is supported
The Q&A explains that for a 5 foot 9 person the 31-inch inseam should work well,
For a 5'9" person, the 31" inseam should work well, though the wide-leg cut may still puddle slightly depending on preferred break.
Given the 31-inch inseam and wide leg, does the pant fit well for someone who is 5'2" or 5'9" without alterations?whereas for a 5 foot 2 person it is likely too long without alterations,
For a 5'2" person, the 31" inseam is likely too long without alterations (typically a 28" inseam is preferable for that height).
Given the 31-inch inseam and wide leg, does the pant fit well for someone who is 5'2" or 5'9" without alterations?Real-world experiences confirm that even sizing down does not solve the length issue: one buyer reported,
even with S size I slightly drag the pants on the ground, once I bought an M and it was unwearable as it was huge and long.
u/lopipingstocking in r/adidasThis demonstrates that the fixed 31-inch inseam is problematic for shorter frames.
- Ankle zips
Zippered ankle hems let shorter wearers clear the ground by zipping, reducing drag without hemming.
Why this is supported
The zippered ankle hems directly address the long inseam:
The zippered ankle hems turn the wide-leg silhouette into a two-in-one: worn open, the 31-inch inseam drapes with full volume and may pool over sneakers; zipped, the leg tapers slightly from the calf and the hem clears the ground, reducing fabric drag without changing the rise or waist fit.
How the wide leg fits and drapes — ankle_zipsThis allows shorter wearers to clear the ground without hemming.
- Zippered pockets
Zippered hand pockets prevent phone and keys from slipping out during movement
Why this is supported
The zippered hand pockets provide security for items like a phone and keys, which is especially important for wide-leg pants where open pockets can let items slip out when sitting or bending. A product listing notes
side zip pockets for secure storage

Une grande déception!
J’ai acheté la taille extra Small et comme tous les vêtements Adidas j’aurais dû me douter qu’il serait trop grand. Il n’y avait pas XXS ce qui aurait été becaoup mieux. La taille est haute. Je retourne donc le bord à la taille. Je fais 5 pieds et 31/2 et mon poids est de 110 livres. La couleur est jolie, mais le tissu est mince. Il n’a pas vraiment de tenue. Pour l’été ça va, mais pas pour des températures plus fraîches. J’ai enlevé l’étiquette donc je ne peuxx le retourner. Une déception.
Perfect fit. Super cute and

Sizing advice for Adicolor wide-leg pants indicates oversized fit
They are oversize, meaning size chart won’t help you. I am an M in Adidas and I wear S in oversize fits and they are still oversize on me, sometimes even XS is a little loose, also with this model careful about the length, even with S size I slightly drag the pants on the ground, once I bought an M and it was unwearable as it was huge and long.
