BKRW introduces the second series in the line-up for
Adidas' spring/summer '07 Originals Catalogue. Their objective is to bring out some of their strongest items from the Adidas archive to re-interpret some pieces and re-design others. I reckon Adidas have got something really cool going on here, and especially lovin' the sleek and sexy Micropacer.
Strider Lea - Launched in 1985, it's been re-created with a leather upper in authentic colours.
Decade Hi Lea - Made its first appearance on basketball courts in 1984. This is a hi-cut reproduction made with a leather upper in the familiar and much-loved colours.
Micropacer - Released in 1984, the Micropacer redefined 'running shoe technology' by incorporating a microcomputer. Now it's been reissued in a full patent leather upper with a matching Micropacer Music Case.
ADI Camo Jacket - The ADI Camo pattern was adopted from an original 80's ski-jacket found in Japan. Adidas chose a M65 military jacket to apply its old school pattern.
Pro Model Vintage - The Pro Model accompanied the iconic Superstar in 1969 and quickly became famous with its unmistakable shell toe. This version comes in a unique crocodile emboss--a classic model for all sneaker lovers.
I admit, these are HOT, and a salute to
Adidas for this 'cos I seriously had thought they were losing their touch. It seems that they're taking a different approach from the likes of Nike, New Balance and Vans (among others) and are continuing to release their shoes and apparel in meticulously and independently produced and marketed sales-lines rather than a creative free-for-all, which often, unfortunately, results in a lot of superflity and needless hype.

Looks pretty cool huh? First it was Nike ID sneakers, and Burton and their custom snowboards, now, it's Oakley's sunglasses. You can now customise practically all of their models. You can choose to change the colour of the frame and of the lenses, and even choose the kind of branding that you get on them! With this, now, you can even match your sunnies with your outfit :P
Follow this link for a closer look, and if you have the dosh, you can even enquire about purchasing ;)
Futura has created this G-shock watch for his upcoming exhibition at Silly Thing in HK Apparently, it's not known whether this is just a one-of-one custom by Futura or a collaberation, so we'll have to wait and see what happens with this watch. It definitely looks really street with the concrete grey and splatter pattern.
Northpole.com is a family-oriented site which debuted in 1996. It's a cool little site that, I think, encapsulates the spirit of Christmas: it's commercial banner-free, child-safe, friendly and colourful. Their mission:
Yes, me. I control the Information Age. Welcome to my world.
