KO Classic : adidas Kobe Two

Okay, so it might not be fully twice as good as its predecessor, but the adidas KOBETWO somehow manages to improve upon an already excellent shoe.by Professor K, posted October 23, 2001A little over a year ago we posted our review of the then soon-to-be-released adidas The KOBE and in the review I noted my surprise at the overall excellence of the shoe. It was like nothing that adidas had previously produced, combining a forward looking elegance with the company’s historical focus on high-function. This turned out to be a winning combination as the adidas The KOBE sold extremely well, quickly selling out at most retailers. Of course, it didn’t hurt that Kobe Bryant and the L.A. Lakers made a second successful championship run, but I think that a lot of the credit for the shoe’s brisk sales have to go to its unique design and excellent performance.So, having set the bar so high, the team behind the KOBETWO had a very difficult job. How do you improve upon excellence? The answer for adidas; don’t start over from scratch, instead take an evolutionary approach and focus on the little things that, in aggregate, will result in an even better shoe. At least tha close

KO Classic : adidas Masterpiece

adidas delivers a Masterpiece that is accessible to the masses, but is it too “fashion forward� for the everyday Joe?by Professor K, posted September 29, 2001This is actually the second shoe named “Masterpiece� that we’ve reviewed this year. The other, the Jumpman Team Masterpiece, was also somewhat “unconventional� in its design, but unlike that shoe, the adidas Masterpiece does not allow its design to get in the way of its performance.The adidas Masterpiece is a very well made shoe. Just based on the quality of its materials and construction I probably would have guessed that the Masterpiece cost somewhere in the range of $95 – $100, so I was very impressed when I learned that it actually costs a very reasonable $85. And after putting the Masterpiece through its paces on the court, I was even more impressed. Read on to find out why…figure 1. Visible here is the X-flex design of the adidas Masterpiece’s outsole, which provides excellent traction. Also visible at the midfoot area of the shoe is the TORSION system, which contributes to the lateral stability of the shoe.The first thing I noticed about the adidas Mas close

KO Classic : adidas a3 Superstar Ul

The correct pronunciation of the adidas a3 Superstar Ultra’s name may not be immediately apparent, but its quality is.by Professor K, posted March 14, 2004I have to admit, I was pretty hard on adidas in my review of the T-MAC 3. With the number of shoes I test over the course of a year it’s fair to say that I can get jaded pretty quickly. I guess it just seemed to me that everything coming out of adidas was a minor variation on the same theme; an overlasted synthetic upper, some sort of homage to adidas’ trademark shell-toe design up front, a CMEVA midsole, and maybe adiPRENE + at the forefoot. The net result of this combination has almost always been good, but after a couple years of the same old, same old, it was getting as tiresome as Omarosa’s run on The Apprentice.But like a scene out of an “inspired by true events� sports movie, just when my perception of adidas was at its lowest ebb, they came out of nowhere and dropped one of the hottest looking shoes to hit the market in good long while: the adidas a3 (pronounced a-cubed, not a-three) Superstar Ultra. The shoe simply oozes luxury and elegance out of every pore. Befitting the name, th close
