There was a massive hangover from Covid. The backlog at the factory stretched delivery times.
They have recently extended and upgraded the factory, and improved staffing levels to increase production.

I’ve just found the sandals that my Dad used to wear.
He always had all the toys mid 60s to mid 70s. Sunbeam Alpine as lifted from Dr No. Gene Hackman’s diaphanous raincoat from The Conversation. That thing used to creep me out 
Anyway, the Paraboot Pacific
are what he used to wear in the summer.
Just checked a few old photos of him, and the Paraboot website says they’ve been in production since the 1950s, so I couldn’t be more certain that I’ve stumbled on them.
So, too much nostalgia? Cunty boots for a cunt? Or quite sensible for an older bloke in hot weather?
A cruel truth revealed by way of sandals. These can look cool on a young airy stylish arty type. Conversely they can look precisely like you are wearing your Dads old shoes on 50+ men.

Bit more expensive,but well worth it imo
If your shoes haven’t eaten another pair of shoes, well, are you even trying?
A subspecies of jesus-boots, and more than enough to earn you a proper kicking in school 
Perfect old man shoes mind - nice big space for a thick, crusty, flaking, yellow big-toenail to hang out in the breeze…

What in the Actual Fuck?! I thought I was seeing things, but no…
These are gonna go well with people whose parasitic twin is basically just a foot
Anyone else, and it’s £2grand to needily screech “FORFUCKSAKESOMEONELOOKATME!!! GIVEMEATTENTIONPLEASE!!!”…
Ya see, this is why those kids that dish out a good kicking for wearing jesus boots to school are doing us all a service
Rosa Klebb would love those. Think how many people she could kill
It certainly brings something new to the kerbstomping genre

I assumed it was AI struggling with the concept of a pair.

Yes! Quite likely what instilled the ‘thought’ into the substance-raddled ‘mind’ of whoever designed them…
As a huge fan of the Adidas City series, I have long enjoyed the wonderful selection of cities they evoke. I have Hamburgs, Munichs, a Paris, Copenhagen, Bern, Napoli, Trieste; and I hanker after many more. Naturally, it’s always exciting see what comes next…
Damn straight I’ve entered the draw to buy (not win, buy) a pair. How could I not want such an evocative location* as part of the roster?
*It is in fact only the second weirdest named Adidas trainer after the magnificent Adidas Cleethorpes but that wasn’t a City Series and didn’t actually have ‘Cleethorpes’ written on the side of it to my lasting disappointment.

I got out of that game around 2003 after making a good chunk of money, scouring ebay.de etc. and visiting stores/outdoor markets in Berlin.
Indoor series, island series, leisure shoes and some city series (but only the made in Yugoslavia ones). Online stores like Argentina Soccer Mall, Zappos, Harputs brought some great buys.
A lot of Fila Terrinda’s in mad colours too. Cerruti’ 81, Best Company, Façonnable etc.
I don’t wear trainers anymore, but I have one pair of 1976 Montreal '76 that I can’t let go of.
The stories I could tell you about Aspden and the ‘battles’ on the now defunct Terrace Retro forum.
He’s the Pete Waterman of trainers.
