Remember these beauties? The adidas Originals Questar just popped up on the Originals website for sale. The shoe retails for $125 which is reasonable for most retro shoes. This is a must have for any sneakerheads shoe collection, even the biggest fan of Nike Shoes.

The video is a photo shoot for the cover of XOXO magazine. It’s a pretty short video of the behind the scenes of the shoot.
The adidas Originals started as a way for younger people to experience the popular shoes of the 70’s and 80’s. It’s also a way to display their history in actual form and not just pictures. People, like myself, crave what we once had and love to cherish past innovations. It’s no surprise that I love vintage shoes but, I really have a thing for vintage running shoes. I think one of the big reasons I have a thing for vintage shoes, is that when these shoes came out I didn’t have the money to buy the shoes. So now I am making up for lost time and I can afford to purchase most of these lost souls. Check out the rest of the story after the break.
I am glad to see adidas joining in the old school running shoe release party. The latest addition is the ZX 380, a sleek, slimmer version of the adidas OG releases. These are available for pre-order at End clothing. What do you think of the OG ZX 380? The rest of the pics after the break.
Can we please have more retro running shoes? adidas Originals is releasing the Zx 500 in a new colorway, iron grey/blue and yellow. adidas Originals is known for releasing bright colored shoes and that’s exactly what we have here. You can stop worrying about buying this shoe until it’s March release. What do you think of the Zx 500? The rest of the pics after the break.
Here’s where sports active wear meets high fashion. adidas Originals is once again collaborating with James Bond and David Beckham for 2011. This collection is all about minimalism and creating a collection for those guys who are transition to wearing high end fashion pieces. What do you think of the James Bond for David Beckham collection? The rest of the pics after the break.
For those of you wondering, “what shoes am I going to wear for Easter?” I have found the shoes for you. Ransom is a frequent adidas collaborator and they have collabed on the Valley Hi many times before this shoe. This shoe however is one of my favorite of all the Ransom collabs. Why is it my favorite? It’s simple yet, the colors they chose work really well with the all white body. They chose pastel orange and pastel green, and only put those colors on the sole of the shoe. Ransom x adidas Originals seem like a winning combination. What do you think of the Ransom collaboration? The rest of the pics after the break.
I recently posted pics of the “Fortitude” sneakerboot in dark onix and Extra Butter has the same shoes in brown; well they call the colorway wood and aerolime. I wouldn’t actually describe the color as wood because it’s a little more dark than most wood. The color is a great color for an outdoor style shoe and the laces look great with the brown and grey base. What do you think of the new color? The rest of the pics after the break.
It’s Friday, time to take out the trash. Jeremy Scott is known in the sneaker world for creating some of the most amazing shoes ever. Some say they might be outlandish and Scott makes shoes you can’t regularly wear. I defend that Jeremy Scott produces art disguised as footwear and that everything he makes is amazing. Well that was until I looked at his 2011 Lookbook and saw the outfit with the “metal holes.” The rest of the story after the break.
If you are like me then you love your shoes, that support your favorite team, without team logos on the shoes. It’s not that I don’t love the team, but my tastes are just more simple. Which why these shoes peaked my interests. Three new shoes has popped up on Crooked Tongues with NBA team colors but no team logos on the shoes. The adidas Originals Decade B-Balls come in three colorways; Magic blue/black/white, Portland Maroon/Grey/Black and Knicks Orange/Blue/White. I love the Magic colorway and the Knick shoe can also be worn if you’re a fan of the Florida Gators. What do you think of the Decade B-Balls? Check out the pic after the break.
This is a surprising collaboration. Only surprising because Diesel makes shoes. They don’t make great shoes, so it kind of makes sense. No matter what the reason, this is one awesome collab. Diesel chose to collab on 5 different shoe; 2 mid Forums, 2 Stan Smiths and a zx700. The shoes are being offered at Diesel Flagship stores worldwide. Diesel has added their signature rivets and is using some pretty bold color choices. My favorite so far is the zx700 in black and green and the Forum with the red strap. I am kind of surprised there was no denim covered sneakers; considering Diesel is known for denim. What do you think of the Diesel x adidas collaboration? More detailed pics after the break.
More and more adidas originals are popping up these days. I think they are trying to show Nike that adidas is still a major player. When they drop shoes like the adi-Rise, I can definitely put my support behind them now. The colorway is Navy/Gold in a mid rise shoe, with some patent leather. These are available right now for around $80 @ Nick Kicks. What do you think of the new adi-Rise? More detailed pics after the break.
