ÿþLast night, we were witness to the end of adidas old school an era. Like all great things in sports, whether it be Cal Ripken Jr. s streak of 2,632 consecutive games or the Undertaker s undefeated run at Wrestlemania or the number of times Kobe Bryant has given a coach the death stare, there comes a time when we all have to move on and begin a new chapter. And for one Nick Young also known to the world as Swaggy P it was time. Time to wear adidas. Wait, what?!
The following year, adidas released an entire JMJ package consisting of a Polo, Jacket and pair of Superstars. The all black upper is patent leather along with translucent stripes depicting adidas slippers for mens the outline of Jay along with the acronym JAM (JUSTICE-ARTS-MUSIC). The midsole has the repeating JAM branding as well. The tongue depicts a similar silhouette of Jay.For the 25th anniversary of RUN DMC s Raising Hell LP and adidas slippers womens My Adidas single.
Adidas released another commemorative Superstar, using the Superstar 80s silhouette again in the iconic white and black colorway, however now with rear lateral branding of the year 1986 along with Jay s DJ initials JMJ on the heel collar. Gold chain dubre (deubré or dubret, whichever spelling you prefer) and My Adidas tongue branding round out this perfectly executed Superstar. In my opinion, this is one of adidas best looking RUN adidas forum DMC/JMJ offerings.
ÿþJBF Customs has graduated to doing Packs of sneakers and for his first set he chose to do a bit of brand spanning . For his Cool Grey Pack he decides to lace a Nike SB Blazer and an adidas Superstar with a color that is universally dope. Both shoes are beautifully reconstructed of Cool Grey tumbled leather with the signature JBF branded tongue and heel. White contrast colored stitching also shines in the mix along with the White outsoles on each pair.
Legend has it that Iman Shumpert s brother contacted JBF customs letting him know about Shumpert s idea and asking if he could make it come to life. As you can see in the pictures above, JBF Customs made it happen. What you see above is a high-top sneaker that sits on top of a adidas Real Deal sole. The upper is adidas 2017 constructed out of a red leather and suede, while hits of python are placed on the upper to give it a premium look and feel.
JS really let lose this time around, allowing an array of colors explode throughout the (once) monotone upper. It s hard to pinpoint exactly what the print is, but if you ve got any good descriptors for this green-blue-orange-pink design, let me know. (I think of an aerial view meets cross-section of a tree& nerdy, but that s all I got). If you re interested, these have touched down once again at select adidas retailers.
