(18 May 2009) - Later this month, Adidas will introduce Zeitfrei, its new line of cycling-inspired shoes. For the first offerings, they opted for a pair of collaborations, one with the preeminent sneaker site Hypebeast and the other with the Berlin-based boutique Solebox.

Y-3 "Nice to Meet You" Sneaker
(05 February 2008) - We love New York, everybody loves New York, but the latest to proclaim it is Yohji Yamamoto with this limited-edition Y-3 shoe that inaugurates the new Y-3 store opening in Manhattan today. Made using Japanese denim from Yamamoto's fabric atelier, we're digging the futuristic look and who can resist the charm of the title, "Nice to Meet You," printed on the insole? Only 50...

Adicolor Spring 07
(23 January 2007) - Adidas was mainly successful with it's Adicolor series last year (I say mainly successful as some of the shoes have been knocked down in the January sales) and it's looking for more of the same this year. Pictured are three new colorways hitting the usual outlets over the next few weeks. From left to right, they are the Adicolor Hi Archive Royal College, the...

adidas Superstar Skull T-shirt
(24 August 2006) - I don't know if this one will ever come to market, but let's hope so. I caught this shot of a three-striper out and about wearing a t-shirt with a skull made from 11 collaged Superstars. It reads really well from a distance and as you get closer the individual shoes start to pop in to place. UPDATE: Jeff just sent us this tip:...

adidas Materials of the World
(22 August 2006) - Celebrating unique cultures of the world, adidas' Fall/Winter 2006 collection features a line of sneakers and clothing made out of fabrics sourced from Japan, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Turkey and Mexico. Often at least partially handmade, the traditional fabrics bring an old world feel to classic adidas looks, like this China bomber jacket and Japan sneaker (which is pair number one of 200). The...

Adidas vs Nike vs Puma
(09 June 2006) - Easily the biggest grudge match in Germany this month will not be between two of the countries competing, but between homegrown Adidas and, of course, American arch-rivals Nike. The business media is already hot on the Stripes versus the Swoosh, with the German brand reportedly splashing out double Nike's estimated £60m World Cup marketing spend. But what about the shirts themselves? Which ones would...

adicolor Black
(09 May 2006) - The final video in the adicolor podcast series is just now out, but be warned: Black is sick and twisted.

The stop motion animation is appropriately shown in black and white and features a beautiful array of patterns, textures and...

adicolor Yellow
(02 May 2006) - Neill Blomkamp's yellow for adicolor has just arrived as the second to last piece in the series. While his neo-urbanism action drama short may seem like the biggest budget of all the adicolor podcast videos to date, all the directors apparently had the same budget. This stunning and provocative live action and computer graphic short is not to be missed. ...

adicolor Red
(01 May 2006) - I was in San Francisco last week for a conference and slacked off on my now regular Wednesday adicolor podcast coverage. In case you haven't already found it, Red is here.

Crooked Tongues Black
(19 April 2006) - 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...

adicolor Podcast: Blue
(18 April 2006) - Our friends over at Psyop are on the adicolor Podcast roster and their turn is now up. Blue is a digital flip book and a refreshing change from the abstract (though very pleasing) White, Green and Pink. Set on the streets of New York's Lower East Side the sequence is all black and white except for the things that are blue. A catchy original...

adicolor Podcast: Pink
(11 April 2006) - Another Wednesday, another adicolor podcast. Don't you want to be exhausted with all this adicolor stuff? I know I do.
