Cool Hunting
Lystring skandinav!
Vice Scandinavia is hosting a juried design contest for adicolor Adidas sneakers. You have to be a scandalous Scandinavian (från Sverige, Norge eller Danmark—ibland även Finland) to enter by using an entry form in the current Food issue of Vice or downloaded from the website. At a party 21 April 2006 at a secret location in Stockholm, attendees can vote on the top 10 finalists that will be displayed along with a soundtrack by Detroit's DJ Godfather, Bruce Leenus, and a live set by Sway. Though the event's not public, we hear there'll be 100 tickets available at the Adidas Originals Store in Bruno Gallerian around noon the day of the party. Winners will get 10,000 Swedish Kronor ($1200) worth of schwag from the Adidas Originals Store and their design will be promoted on Vice's site.

Our friends at Crooked Tongues have tweaked their annual shindig this year to tie-in with their adicolor collaboration. As they have designed a shoe and jacket for the Black series, they've decided to call the bash at Black Monday. Can you see a theme developing? Invites are free, they want people to wear those sombre garments from their moody teenage years. In return, they're...
The much anticipated adicolor series began its decent on New York City this weekend with the launch of the White Series. Over at the Originals store in SoHo the adicolor box set sold out instantly, as did the pairs customized by KR (Craig Costello)—who was in the shop tagging shoes people purchased. Down in Chinatown Vinnie started his 2 week post as the beacon...
On Saturday 18 March from 2 - 6pm at the adidas Original Store in SoHo, adidas will host an adicolor studio event to celebrate launching the White Series.

KR will be at the store to tag the purchased...
Reminding us that shoe customization has been around for decades, adidas is re-releasing the adicolor LO (originally from 1983) in a kit that includes the original plain white shoes, paints, brushes and a wooden palette. The box will also include sealant to keep your painted shoes looking great, though the fact of the matter is people who are able to get their hands on...
