adidas Drop Top In Navy & Medium Le

words & images_Nick DePaulaYesterday we brought you the new adidas Drop Top in white/black & black/black, and today we have a look at two more versions of the off-court hoops shoe that will begin releasing this August. In Medium Lead/Royal and Navy/Grey, these versions of the Drop Top take on more color and textures than yesterday’s more basic renditions. Made up of a semi-gloss synthetic rand, nubuck and faux croc skin, the Medium Lead version is set off by its white outsole and hits of royal blue. Along the Navy based version, you’ll find navy patent leather atop the two customizable midfoot straps, as well as a rich reptilian synthetic along the rand that encircles the entire shoe. Look for both colorways to hit this summer for $90.adidas Drop Top - Medium Lead/Royaladidas Drop Top - Navy/Grey close

adidas Drop Top in White & Black

words & images_Nick DePaulaThis summer, adidas plans to release their latest hoops shoe aimed at both lightweight performance as well as off-court style with the Drop Top. The Drop Top, seen here in white/black and black/black colorways, features two prominent straps along the midfoot that can be worn down, up or however you may please. The collar can be adjusted to your liking as well in the versatile Drop Top, as it continues the design direction that adidas Basketball has taken recently with less emphasis placed on striping up the midfoot.With a full herringbone outsole and EVA midsole, the Drop Top sits low with its double-lasted construction. Along the white based version you’ll find a combination of patent leather, synthetic leather and perforated leather with hits of black accenting, while the all black colorway features a mix of nubuck, semi-gloss leather and faux croc skin along the midfoot straps. Look for the Drop Top to begin hitting stores at the end of this summer for $90.Be sure to also check out Sole Collector’s Issue 29, dropping in August, for a full break-down and designer interview detailing the adidas Drop Top.adidas Drop Top - White/Black close

adidas ‘Yin & Yang’ TS Lightnin

words_Nick DePaulaHaving steered clear of widespread collaborations with their latest hoops sneaker aimed at the game’s most speedy players, after a multi-season partnership with UNDR CRWN beforehand, adidas Basketball recently gave in and worked with artist Rahn Johnson on a Yin & Yang concept executed atop the TS Lightning Creator. Available this summer exclusively in Asia, Johnsonwas inspired by the principles of Yin & Yang found in traditional Chinese culture.Beginning with the dualities of season in mind, graphic illustrations of Rain (Yin) and Sun (Yang) can be found along the medial sides of the shoes, wrapping over from the lateral collar. Other touches along the shoe include the use of the grey snakeskin patent leather, which pays tribute to the the Chinese Zodiac, as well as the translucent green outsole, which is inspired by the Chinese “Imperial Gem” Jade.Thanks to Rahn’s Personal Blog for the images! close

The Supra x Palms Hotel Skytops is such a relaxing pair of shoes that it can make a difference in the way you start your day.You can attribute that relaxing effect to the colorway or the word Palms on the side of the shoe. This high-top sneaker is the product of teamwork between Supra and Palms, one of the premier hotels in Las Vegas. But this is not actually the only sneaker that came out as a result of that partnership because 23 sources have reportedly been crafted for Palms special operations manager John Gray. Our question is: where are the others?The Supra x Palms Hotel Skytops sneaker comes in a white leather upper accented by lime green and purple on the heel and sole. The midsole is lined twice with lime green creating a refreshing feeling overall.And to remind you of that Las Vegas hotel a stitched Palms logo is found on the outer heel corner of the sneaker.And if you’re still wondering where the other sneakers are, sources said those are exclusively for family and friends—and maybe clients of the hotel? close
