Image not available for Color: adidas Men’s Zeitfrei Training Shoe

adidas is a name that stands for excellence in all sectors of sport around the globe. The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler has become a reality, and his corporate philosophy has been the guiding principle for successor generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant: to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War. Today, the adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel, and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf.

Winter 2010 by Kazuki Kuraishi

Japan-based designer Kazuki Kuraishi has been working with Adidas for almost 5 years and he has contributed a lot especially with Adidas’ Originals by Originals line. His latest collaborations with Adidas include this new Adidas Originals by Originals Gipfel.
Kazuki Kuraishi’s ObyO Gipfel is actually part of Adidas’ Fall/Winter Collection and is especially designed to provide warmth during these icy seasons. The Adidas ObyO Gipfel is basically a Torsion Bank Shot sneaker which they integrated with a boot’s toughness. Its upper is chiefly made up of nubuck leather which they mixed up with mesh and premium leather. The upper of this Adidas ObyO Gipfel is also highlighted in beige and is accentuated with brown tints on the leather paneling. Other accents are found on the cardinal red tongue pull tab and gold Gipfel label on the side panels. Setting the stage for this upper are the tough-looking white midsole and black outsole.
Adidas has not yet announced any exact release date for this Originals by Originals Kazuki Kuraishi Gipfel but let’s expect this to come soon since it’s already fall and winter’s waiting around the corner.

Adidas Consortium Artillery Mid – NBA Celebrity All-Star Game Pack

We have never seen the brand in this form before. Such design may have been non-existent at all, or maybe we were just slackening. The Adidas Consortium Artillery Mid – NBA Celebrity All-Star Game Pack of sneakers come in two colorways that almost look the same at first glance.
The Adidas Consortium Artillery Mid – NBA Celebrity All-Star Game Pack of sneaker was made specifically for the participants of the Celebrity All-Star Game, all of whom will be heading to Cowboy Stadium. Both teams won’t be leaving without getting some new kicks for sure.
The sneaker makes use of a white base but each one comes in a different color to differentiate the teams. The Adidas Consortium Artillery Mid – NBA Celebrity All-Star Game Pack of sneaker for the East comes with blue as the primary color scheme. The sneaker for the West makes use of red as the primary color scheme.
Beyond the colors, the Adidas Consortium Artillery Mid – NBA Celebrity All-Star Game Pack of sneakers comes with the usual Artillery features like the Torsion system. The sneakers are guaranteed to provide support to weak celebrity ankles, thanks to the padded ankle support.

Star Wars x Adidas Originals Micropacer – Best Scene

The Star Wars collectible sneakers are coming out one after another and you only need to choose which of these sneaker designs come with your favorite character design. The Star Wars x  Adidas Shoes Micropacer – Best Scenes sneaker is however a unique take on the movie series since it comes with a different form compared to the previous sneakers.
The Star Wars x Adidas Originals Micropacer – Best Scenes sneaker now looks more like a canvas of one of the many best scenes in the adventure movie. Take a closer look and be reminded of the scene where Princess Leia sits alongside Jabba the Hutt. You will also be able to reminisce about the amazing light-sabre battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader.
The sneaker does not only look great but also provides a pedometer on the tongue to help runners measure their speed. The left toe box shows an image of the young Harrison Ford while the right toe box shows an image of Chewbacca.

DQM x Adidas Consortium – City Series 2 Pack For Wet Streets

This sneaker does not have an advantage over its competitors especially when it comes to its colorway. For one, the DQM x adidas Consortium – City Series 2 Pack sneaker looks pretty dull and unexciting at all compared to the more colorful and loud sneakers around town.
The DQM x Adidas Shoes Consortium – City Series 2 Pack sneaker could not even compete with the previous color schemes of the Dave’s Quality Meat sneakers. This runner comes in an all-black outfit. However, the use of waterproof fabric on the upper makes it attractive and fitting to those who want to be kept dry and comfortable, even when confronted by a wet weather.
If you trek the city streets using your bike all the time, or if you prefer to walk then the DQM x adidas Consortium – City Series 2 Pack sneaker is the perfect footwear for street trekking. The sneaker comes with metal eyelets and the trademark Adidas three-stripes with the DQB branding embossed on it.
New Yorkers will find the DQM x adidas Consortium – City Series 2 Pack sneaker an ideal partner for the city’s rain and snow-filled streets. What keeps the sneaker attractive is the mesh-like design on the white midsole.

Exotic Jeremy Scott x Adidas – JS Africa

Bring exotic Africa wherever you go with the pair of sneakers. The Jeremy Scott x Adidas – JS Africa sneaker comes with that wild which is usually identified with the aborigines and the African wilderness.
This sneaker is actually pretty tame with its predominantly yellow leather upper with the Adidas three stripes in white, lace holders in white and midsole in white. It is accented by blue on the heel tab with the black Adidas Shoes and red on the side panel and the toe box. There are perforations all over the side panel and the toe box to provide comfort to the wearer.
The Jeremy Scott x Adidas – JS Africa sneaker however sports a very exotic logo on the white tongue. The design looks like a witch-doctor but if you look closely there is still the Adidas logo on top of the design. This is really a unique pair not only because of the choice of colors slapped all over the sneaker, but mainly because of the voodoo-like design on the tongue.
