Adidas aZX Collection

mfjoe — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:39:46 +0000

This past year Adidas released 24 re-made versions of the classic ZX line in collaboration with 24 of the top Consortium stores. I loved watching this project unfold, and though I don’t own a single damned pair on the list, this type of co-branding and customization has definitely elevated Adidas in a game largely run by Nike.

Collaborators include: ACU, Bodega, Colette, D-Mop, LimitEDitions, Foot Patrol, GoodFoot, Huf, Adidas Icon Stores, Just Be, Kendo, Livestock, Major DC, Neighborhood, Adidas Originals, Patta, Dave’s Quality Meats, Alife Rivington Club, SNS, Crooked Tongues, Undefeated, VA, Wood Wood, and You. Since they just recently wrapped up with the ridiculous Thaler X Chassaing shoe representing X and Z, I felt like putting all the pics up in a row, even if that means slow ass page loads on this post. Crazy nice.

Still Love Shoes

It’s been a little while since I posted shoes, I think, and I was getting a little itchy. Adidas is dropping the ZX 800 this fall in black and pretty blue, which is my favorite color. That is a color, right, pretty blue? And, why do I want to write colour…damned brits.

Adidas Consortium Casual Series

How ’bout some shoes…my friend was making fun of my shoe-blogging today…I try to keep some things in my life simple (e.g., 40-Year Old Virgin) and pretty (e.g., shoes), because I tend to take the rest of all this too seriously, this life, I mean…My head would implode if I didn’t embrace triviality when I’m at home, if you know what I mean (Peace Mr. Wilde)…What a weird ass post regarding these Consortium Casuals, eh…so fucking self-indulgent…sorry all. Here’s some pretties, and they are only 360 of each so…hurry.

Adidas has more than a handful of designs dating back decades that continue to kick ass. The Rod Laver (…in all quad flavors…) is no exception. Check out these Vintage Lux joints:
