adidas Originals Tischtennis ‘Olympic Pack’

adidas Originals Tischtennis Olympic Pack

You might not know this, what with all their attention paid to the youngest-ever NBA MVP, a stunning MTV video starlet and the most flamboyant guest designer doing it today, but adidas has a sincere interest in the sport of table tennis.  Three Stripes to this day makes among the world’s very best ping-pong sneakers and paddles (or ‘blades’, as they’re more commonly called by those in the know), and this latest drop from the Originals division is a subtle reminder they’ve been at this for decades.  The adidas Originals Tischtennis ‘Olympic Pack’ features Union Jack pennants on the lateral heels, but the more intriguing embroidery might be the brown Stripes that divide the white pair’s side panels.  There’s also a navy pair with leather branding depicted below, so click through to see both and let us know which of these you’ll be more likely to cop when they hit select retailers this June.  via FNG

adidas Consortium x Jim Thompson   Your Story Matchplay | Detailed Look

In addition to the detailed shots of DJ Muro’s Pro Shell we posted today, shots of Jim Thompson’s contribution to the adidas Consortium “Your Story” campaign are also out to amp up the energy ahead of their Saturday release. The designer from Sydney’s Three Over One transforms the classic Matchplay silhouette to give it an uncomplicated, but vintage look inspired by kicks from adidas’ Track & Field archives. Featuring a black waxed leather upper and a matching pigskin suede toe-box, Thompson’s decision to leave out the inner-line gives this shoe a hand-made feel. A distressed white rubber midsole that matches the branding on the ankle enhance the old-school personality of this sneaker. Three Over One branding finishes off the look under the Tri-Foil tag on the tongue. Look for these and other pieces of the adidas Consortium collection at select retailers beginning Saturday, May 19th.

Release Date: May 19th, 2012 (Saturday)

adidas SLVR Footwear Collection – Spring/Summer 2012

adidas SLVR Footwear Collection   Spring/Summer 2012

Under the fashion centric banner of adidas SLVR, the trefoil brand presents a footwear collection for Spring/Summer 2012 that’s inspired by the sport of fencing. Dirk Schoenberger, creative director of the sport style division at adidas, once observed, “When I’m in Berlin and I see how the young guys and girls are dressing, none of them are wearing sneakers anymore. So you think, if these are the target consumers, and we are only selling sneakers, well, what are we going to do?” The answer to that question is essentially the whole of adidas SLVR, which blends fashion with sport — in this case, the rarefied world of fencing, which explains the clean lines and lightly netural color palette. Standouts from the range include the High Top Buckle and High Top Lace in canvas or leather builds, or the Summer Cup canvas sneaker with patent leather heel for added flash. The collection is available now at select retailers and online. via: hayabusa.bz
