The adidas x Pusha T EQT Running Guidance 93 'Black Market' will release Saturday 30th January 2016.

adidas have once again teamed up with infamous Hip Hop artist Pusha T for a second instalment of their footwear collaboration.

Continuing from the well received initial partnership between King Push and adidas we see a welcome return of the EQT Running Guidance silhouette - this time in a sleek blacked-out colourway.

Taking visible inspiration from the streets and underground trade that shaped the artist he is today, the tonal shoe features a fish scale upper which is a nod to his cocaine-dealing past and 3 stripe 3M detailing resulting in a concisely executed silhouette - our favourite adidas x Pusha T collaboration so far.

The adidas x Pusha T EQT Running Guidance 93 'Black Market' will release online at 00:00:01 hours on 30/01/16.

Nike Air Presto 'Triple Black' will release Monday 11th January 2016.
Originally conceived in the year 2000 the Nike Air Presto was a silhouette crafted under the "Alpha Project" umbrella.

The Nike Air Presto

 

Distinguished by its five dot branded insignia, the Alpha Project's aim was to create avant-guard silhouettes with new materials and technologies - the Nike Air Presto was one of five resulting styles of the project.

The Air Presto was marketed as a "T-shirt for your feet" due to its superior fit - the result of a flexible and Dynamic stretch mesh upper providing a comfortable, sock-like fit that kept the shoe snug on your foot combined with additional side cage lacing to perfect the fit of the shoe for yourself.

The Nike Air Presto

 

In-keeping with the clothing like direction Nike decided to bypass the usual route of numerical sizes and instead opt for an unconventional S-XL size run.

The Air Presto had several successful marketing video campaigns ranging from animated colourway-signifying characters to the then emerging Parkour scene, and had many special edition colourways including Hello Kitty, 9/11 Rememberence and believe it or not an Eric Clapton pair too.

Comfort and sizing is where the T-shirt-like comparison ends however, as the Air Presto is packed with innovative Nike technology such as moulded midfoot overlays for enhanced support, a phylon midsole with an encapsulated Air-Sole unit in the heel for soft cushioning and a duralon outsole with flex grooves for durability.

The Nike Air Presto will be available in the slick "Triple Black" colourway online at 00:00:01 hours on 11/01/16.

adidas Originals NMD Runner PK releases Saturday 12th December 2015.

Jolting the iconography surrounding adidas' most celebrated products and merging them with unparalleled 2016 engineering, the adidas Originals NMD Runner PK is history in the making.

Implementing the NMD ethos of "PAST EMPOWERS FUTURE" adidas have drawn from the most progressive archival silhouettes that comprise their innovative and influential back-catalog.

The first point of reference that comprises the icon-laden NMD DNA is the infamous Micro Pacer - a game-changing running shoe that was the first to feature a computer which electronically measured the runner's distance, average speed, calorie consumption and saved the total route covered.

Diving deeper into the composition of the NMD we find another of adidas' most archetypal styles in the form of the Boston Super which was first concieved as a running shoe for the Boston marathon - it has since paved the way for many modern adidas silhouettes.

The final piece of historic interjection that the NMD has built upon and taken into the future is the Rising Star - an all-round training shoe designed for running on the road and other hard surfaces.

The midsole of the Rising Star included one of the more prominent elements that are visible in the NMD in the form of two removable cushions, one in the heel and one on the outsole.

the NMD Runner PK is filled with adidas' now signature approach to technical footwear featuring an adidas Boost midsole; Primeknit sock upper; Fused adidas signature three stripes and Woven nylon heel loop.

Giving archival styles a modern context, the NMD is driven by a desire to experience, inspired by the past but always looking to the future - when constantly on the move, objects bring meaning to a high-paced life.

This original approach to conceptual sneaker design further solidifies adidas' notoriety as one of the most forward thinking brands in the world.

The adidas Originals NMD Runner PK will be available online at 00:00:01 hours on 12/12/15.

adidas Originals X SPEZIAL New York SPZL release tomorrow - Wednesday 3rd December 2015.

In 2014 Gary Aspden (the man behind the excellent SPEZIAL line) took a group of die hard adidas enthusiasts to Argentina in search of a fabled 34 year old store that was rumoured to have floor to ceiling vintage/deadstock adidas products.

The trip was documented in 'Sole Searching in South America', a now renowned documentary that introduced the world to store owner Carlos Ruiz.

Aspden and his band of loyal adidas supporters spent 2 days looking through every box to uncover long forgotten adidas silhouettes and managed to convince Carlos to part ways with some of the vast collection - which Aspden used as references for silhouettes in his SPEZIAL line.

The adidas Originals X SPEZIAL New York SPZL will release in it's OG and Carlos-inspired colourways online at 00:00:01 hours.

The adidas Jeans MkII get their appeased re-issue tomorrow 1st of December 2015.

adidas continue to celebrate iconic archive silhouettes that founder Adi Dassler crafted decades ago.

Observing that trainers were not only being worn for playing sports but as a part of casual wear, adidas launched the Jeans (named after the day to day staple they were designed to be paired with) in 1976.

1980 saw an update on the silhouette with new features such as a toe protector and sported a different sole from its predecessor. Dubbed the "adidas Jeans MkII", this was the easy to wear silhouette which captivated the consumer that was looking for an understated trainer you could wear day in day out - it solidified the Jeans' place as an iconic adidas style.

The Jeans were not only perfect to pair with your casual's but had all the comfort you needed from a regular wear trainer such as an ankle collar, heel padding, built-in heel counter and soft midsole wedge.

The adidas Jeans MKII Re-issue will be available for pre-order tonight at 00:00:01.

adidas Originals craft a bold vision for the future that is informed by the past with the adidas Originals EQT #/3F15 OG Pack.

After the successful re-induction of the EQT in 2014, adidas further celebrates the line with new constructions, new details, and new silhouettes-pushing the limits of innovation and continuing the journey of the historic adidas styles.

It's safe to say that adidas have achieved the aim of "celebrating their iconic history with both feet planted firmly in the future" with the adidas Originals EQT #/3F15 OG Pack.

Cutting-edge, breathable and flexible adidas Primeknit fabrics feature alongside energy-returning BOOST™ technologies, as well as a two-layer tongue and an upper woven with glow-in-the-dark thread.

All three silhouettes from the adidas Originals EQT #/3F15 OG Pack will be available online at 00:00:01 and 00:09:00 in our Bournemouth store on the 28th November 2015.

Adidas Originals ZX Flux XENO sneakers will release on Saturday 21st November 2015.

Building on current trends and drawing from their long history of incorporating snake skin patterns into design and materials,
Adidas Originals have developed XENO technology-a never seen before reflective sneaker material.

The game changing technology was inspired by the Xenopeltis snake found in Southeast Asia which is known for it's highly iridescent scales.

The psychadelic Adidas ZX Flux XENO produces a deep shimmer of iridescent colours in natural light but under a direct flash of artificial light the sneaker explodes with bright colours, spanning the entire rainbow spectrum-the colours you see depend on the angle of which you're looking from, and will change as you move.

The Adidas ZX Flux XENO (Super Colour/Core Black/Core Black) will be available online at 00:01 hours tonight and our Bournemouth store at 09:00 hours on 21st November 2015.

The third instalment of the HUF X Thrasher 'Stoops Tour' is here, this time deciding to keep things closer to home with a 3 week trip of the USA.

HUF proves once again that it is and always will be a core skateboarding brand with a solid 8 minute clip featuring Keith Hufnagel, Dylan Rieder, Dick Rizzo, Tyler Bledsoe, Brad Cromer and Austyn Gilette amongst others who unsurprisingly destroy all spots they hit to a soundtrack of Future's 'I thought there was a drought'.

To celebrate the tour, HUF and Thrasher have produced another killer collection of soft goods consisting of long and short sleeve T-Shirts, a hoody, socks, hats and the classic coaches jacket, all of which feature a mix of HUF's 'H' logo, 'Thrasher x HUF Worldwide' and Thrasher's 'Skategoat' emblem.

Alongside the soft goods is a Thrasher take on the ever popular HUF Classic Lo silhouette, which is offered in a black canvas upper and black sidewall with a contrast white sidewall stripe and Thrasher 'Skategoat' heel quarter logo. Browse the collection in full here
