New Originals

Here’s a couple more limited releases from adidas seen last weekend at their Originals Concept Store. I’ve got tons of blue 3-striped boxes but getting extra pairs will never hurt, right? Thought so.

This Samba, a classic and fashion staple back in the day has been making the rounds again ever since the World Cup. Aside from the Americana West Pack and the World Cup Pack, this denim number right here is part of the Traffic pack or City Survival Pack. Like the previous ones featured, the tongue has a special traffic post graphic on the tongue, with the adidas logo on the heel done in similar traffic sign fashion. Denim is making a comeback on a lot of pairs lately from almost all the brands. Dubbed as the World Edition, this Samba also has a mini compass as a lace lock to help you get to where you have to be.

I can never end to preach about the beauty of runners/trainers. adidas has a couple already on my cross hairs, I’m just waiting for a pair for the right time before I pull the trigger. If you’re where I’m at, you can cop these City Park-inspired Rising Stars. I’m not so sure which pack they belong to, but you can see in the detail that the shoe has branches and velcroed tongue labels. The Rising Star is a cousin of the ZX pack but definitely a shoe that has attitude. I actually like the sole on these kicks.

Also in the same pack are these Top Ten Lows (please correct me if I’m wrong). I’m not too sure as I wasn’t paying attention that much. I like the color blocking as the blue pops, but didn’t really feel the kicks all that much. Clearly, they do fall under the same pack as the Rising Stars. I’m sure you hoop heads would dig these more than my runners. Check them out up close over at the adidas Originals Concept Store when you have the time. Though if you wait too long, they might be gone. Check ‘em out now!
