ADIDAS Materials of the World Indonesia Series

Finally, some news from Adidas.. and it's good! Here's what Adidas say about it:

Inspired by the very act of creating a Batik-Made fabric which has a strong symbolic meaning for the Javanese. It is said that each time the Batik craftsman executes a particular intricate pattern the design is not only fixed to the cloth, but the meaning of the design is engraved ever more deeply in the soul of the Artisan. This highly skilled process, involving complicated dyeing and dye-resist processes, is regarded highly by many Indonesians as one of the six Priyayi or “High Arts”.

These pieces are definitely something to get excited about. It seems they're the first of a series of Adidas "Materials of the World" packs and this first one's a doozie. The Indonesia series includes two Metro Attitude Hi’s, a tracksuit and a cap and they're limited to 500 stock worldwide. As expected, they're goin for a pretty penny with the kicks at 200 EUR a pair at Overkill.
