adidas Originals MEGA Softcell RL - stepping up their running offering

The new adidas Originals MEGA Softcell RL is another entry by adidas into their subpar running offering. Everyone knows of their dominance in Soccer, and their recent success in basketball, thanks for local boy D Rose of the CHI-Town Bulls. But as far as running shoes, adidas is finally making a huge push by combining their trademark styles with functionality, something that I believe will be very beneficial to the brand. This colorway of the adidas Originals MEGA Softcell RL is definitely going to catch more than a few eyes. Available at select adidas Originals retailers.

SLAM DUNK X Nike Zoom Brave IV - Hanamichi Style

Probably the MOST popular Japanese MANGA in Japan, “Slam Dunk” or Suramu Danku, follows a hot headed trouble maker Sakuragi Hanamichi in his quest to win over the girl of his dream, which happened to love basketball. Thus Sakuragi and his raw talent made the high school basketball team and the rest is history (read it or watch the Anime). For this collaboration, Nike teamed up with Takehiko Inoue, the strip’s creator, to come up with this  "Slam Dunk x Nike Air Zoom Brave IV" in a University blue and white colorway. Flywire upper and Zoom Air through the midsole. May 14 is the scheduled release date, in Japan. No words on US release.

Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals Midtop Sneaker

Leave it to Jeremy Scott X Adidas Originals to come out with something even more ludicrous than their previous collaborations. J Scott has done a transparent shoes with wings, kicks with bear heads and not to mentioned all the outrageously fashionable apparels. Can this be the icing on that cake? I hope not, cause a creative mind is a terrible thing to waste.
