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

Flashback Friday : adidas EQT Top T

words & images_Nick DePaulaLife was quite different for Kobe Bryant over a decade ago. As a rookie, the young prodigy was still trying to figure out how to fit in with his older teammates, how to balance the shift from Prom to the Pros, and oh yeah, he was kicking off his budding career with another brand, having signed a deal straight out of High School with adidas Basketball, masterminded by prep guru Sonny Vacarro. With Antoine Walker, Tracy McGrady and Bryant the three stars of the future that Vacarro hand selected for the Three Stripes (two out of three ain’t bad…), each wore the adidas EQT Top Ten 2010, a futuristic look at the brand’s new Feet You Wear concept, debuted a season earlier in the EQT Top Ten 2000.It appeared to be a goofy concept at the time, as Feet You Wear didn’t quite connect with people looking for giant air-bags and other visible cushioning contraptions, but as we’ve now seen today with Nike’s heralded â€Å"Freeâ€Â� campaign, adidas was certainly onto something when they introduced barefoot-inspired athletic footwear in 1995.

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
