Anti Social Social Club and BAPE's Second Collaboration Gets Funky With All-Over Camo

Anti Social Social Club and BAPE have announced a third collaborative collection in celebration of Los Angeles and Tokyo. Following the Los Angeles-exclusive capsule that released in April 2018 and a New York-only drop from May 2017, the two’s third offering is rife with ASSC’s signature text graphics and BAPE’s iconic FIRST CAMO pattern, making for a striking slate of camouflaged emotions.

Lookbook images show three different types of camo: a classic woodland style mix of tan, brown and green, a bright cotton candy-esque pink and a cool mixture of blue hues. All three of these palettes spread across the vast majority of the collection’s hooded sweatshirts and tees. ASSC’s sad boy style is provided on both the front and rear of most items: the chest serves up small unaltered text logos and askew katakana, while the back overlays a full-size text hit with more Katakana characters. Hooded sweatshirts dole out an extra punch of flair with more Japanese text on the hood itself. For those who’d prefer something a touch more toned down, there’s also camo-covered ABC “box logo” t-shirts as well.

The Anti Social Social Club x BAPE Fall 2020 collection will release on September 4 at 11 A.M. ET via the Anti Social Social Club webstore in the US. In Japan, it’ll release on September 5 at BAPE Harajuku and the BAPE webstore.

Adidas Yeezy Quantum Set For A Return On September 5th

After being released during this year’s NBA All-Star Weekend through a unique, and somewhat questionable marketing activation, the adidas Yeezy Quantum is in preparation to make a more widespread delivery next month. For clarification, this restock will be of the lifestyle variation, so you can expect this forthcoming batch to feature the zig-zag reflective hits and non-pixelated side wall graphics.

Since its debut this past February, the Kanye-designed colorway hasn’t climbed too high up on the secondary market as prices currently sit between the $400-$750 range depending on size, but after this release, those price points certainly have a potential of dipping. For those interested in picking up a pair of these Yeezys, they’ll be arriving on September 5th for $250 likely via adidas.com and Yeezy Supply, so don’t worry about chasing down any sherpa trucks this time around.

League Of Legends Enlists Jordan Brand For A 2020 World Championship Inspired Air Jordan 1 Zoom

Thanks in part to its rapidly growing fan base and large pool of professional level players, League of Legends has quickly become one of the largest games in the e-sports scene, garnering over 100 million viewers during 2019’s worlds alone. And now with the 2020 championship soon underway, Riot has enlisted a little help from Jordan Brand to craft an Air Jordan 1 Zoom inspired by the first place trophy.

Ornate like that of the #1 prize, the offering embellishes with a number of luxurious and colorful accents. Its base, though deceptively neutral, seems to bear a slight texture that contrasts the iridescent overlays adjacent; these, which dresses in a brighter purple hue, wrap the heel counter, ankle flaps, toe cap, and all the usual fixtures in complement to the swoosh whose gradient bears the same cool tones. Laces finish with a saturated hit of royal, looping atop what looks to be a navy tongue.

Grab a first look at these here and expect further imagery to arrive once the 2020 worlds start at the end of the month.

Nike AIR YEEZY VS Adidas YEEZY BOOST

2020-09-04T17:00:19.835Z

COMPARISON

Nike AIR YEEZY and Adidas YEEZY BOOST

Nike AIR YEEZY

What’s The Difference Between The Cult-Status Kicks?
Some sneaker fans are all about the Nike Yeezy, while for others the Adidas Yeezy boost line wins, hands down. Both Kanye’s sneaker collaborations have produced cult-status shoes. And you can see Kanye’s art all over these shoes. The Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 was 2015’s ‘Shoe of the Year’ at the New York Footwear News Achievement Awards. And Nike Air Yeezy II ‘Red October’ is one of the most sought after sneakers in history. In this post, we explore the aesthetic differences between Nike Air Yeezy and Adidas Yeezy Boost and the costs associated with the iconic kicks.

Kanye first revealed the Nike Air Yeezys in all black suede at the 2008 Grammy Awards. After a long sampling process involving several features and colorways. Finally, a trio of colors – Zen Grey, Blink and Net – released in April, May, and June of 2009. Each colorway of the high-top basketball-inspired shoe had the same structure. Perforated uppers and mid-strap with different detailing such as glow-in-the-dark soles and printing on the strap. The first generation Nike Air Yeezy retailed at $215 USD and flew off the shelves instantly.

Adidas YEEZY BOOST 350

After leaving Nike due to a dispute over royalties, Kanye’s next collaboration delivered the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 in February 2015. A limited number were released in flagship stores and a week later the 750 was made available through a wider range of retailers. The shoe was a departure from the Nike Air Yeezy, with the high-top featuring a zipper and mid-foot strap on top of an off-white Boost sole. Colors included black, brown and lavender; the upper a luxurious suede. Though adidas won’t release production figures, according to solecollector.com rumours put the number of black adidas Yeezy 750 Boosts at around 5,000. The shoe, retailing at $350, sold out within 10 minutes.

Adidas YEEZY BOOST 350

Adidas YEEZY BOOST 750

First released in Turtledove in June 2015, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 was very different again – far more traditional and minimalistic. A low-rise lightweight everyday sneaker, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 was similar to Nike Roshe Run. The uppers were, in fact, a one-piece primeknit. The shoe featured one visible line of stitching on the front, canvas detailing on the heel, black YZY detailing on the isoles and Adidas boost technology in the rubber sole. The retail price of 350s was $200 and Adidas Yeezy sneakers had a bit of a higher stock. So the $200 sneakers released at a range of stores including Finishline, footlocker, Jimmy Jazz, City Gear, and End Clothing. The Pirate Black colorway followed Turtle Dove in August 2015, with Moonrock released three months later.

Nike Air Yeezy VS. Adidas Yeezys– The Story So Far

As with all Kanye’s Nike and Adidas Yeezy releases, runs have been minimal with far more disappointed sneakerheads than happy ones. Though Kanye tweeted that Adidas would make a million Yeezy’s in 2015, Sneakerheads are always desperate to get their hands on a pair. (It’s clear the only surefire way to cop a pair is using a sneaker bot that does the hard work for you). So what do you think about Nike Air Yeezy vs Adidas Yeezy? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

History - Adidas

2020-09-04T16:57:57.318Z

We started in a wash room and conquered the world. And in-between, we have scored big and also, sometimes, struggled to reach our goals. We have done our best for the best. We have improved and grown. Looking ahead to the future, always remembering where we came from. This is our story.

THE EARLY YEARS 1900 - 1942

Every great story has a beginning. This one started in a small town in Bavaria, Germany. After first steps in his mother’s wash kitchen, Adi Dassler registered the “Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik” in 1924 and embarked on his mission to provide athletes with the best possible equipment. Gold medals in Amsterdam (1928, Lina Radke) and Berlin were first rewards and milestones – and only the start of our story.

The young Adi Dassler in his shoe factory

FOUNDING FATHER 1949

On August 18, 1949, Adi Dassler started over again at the age of 49, registered the “Adi Dassler adidas Sportschuhfabrik” and set to work with 47 employees in the small town of Herzogenaurach. In the same year, he registered a shoe that included the registration of the soon-to-become-famous adidas 3-Stripes. From humble beginnings to a global success story – which was accelerated by a miracle …

A MIRACLE IN BERN 1954

Who would have thought that screw-in-studs on lightweight football boots would help write history? When the German national football team faced the unbeatable Hungarians in the 1954 World Cup final, they won so much more than just a trophy. Their unbelievable victory would be heard around the world for decades to come. And it made adidas and its founder a household name on football pitches everywhere.

REEBOK: A BROTHER-TO-BE, STILL MILES AWAY

Two brothers working together for the best of the athlete. Sounds familiar? Well this story started across the channel, miles away from Herzogenaurach. While adidas continued to grow after its own 1954 miracle, two British men by the names of Joe and Jeff Foster gave their grandfather’s company “J.W. Foster and Sons” (founded in 1895) a new name: Reebok. Keep it in mind for now, we will get back to this later.

THE ATHLETES’ TRUST 1968 - 1970

How do you consistently earn the trust of world-class athletes through the decades? Produce innovative products that make them better for once. Adi Dassler’s secret to success had an additional personal ingredient: he met with athletes (some of them even as visitors in Herzogenaurach), listened carefully to what they said and constantly observed what can be improved or even invented to support their needs. The best of the best trusted adidas and its founder from the beginning. And that would not change throughout the decades to come.

BECOMING A TRUE MULTI-SPORTS SPECIALIST 1972 - 1978

From Herzogenaurach to the world: the 3-Stripes kept expanding to more and more sports throughout the years. This is reflected in the broad range of athletes who trust adidas to make them better: besides the usual suspects such as the world’s best football players, like the Argentinean national team, outdoor icon Reinhold Messner climbed mountains in adidas shoes and gymnast Nadia Comaneci scored a perfect 10, repeatedly.

Outdoor-icon Reinhold Messner was a close adidas-partner, too

A BROTHER-TO-BE FINDING ITS WAY – REEBOK ON THE MOVE 1982 - 1989

30 years after Joe and Jeff Foster renamed their grandfather’s company, Reebok was fit to lead. Literally. Following the booming fitness trend, women around the world work out in the Reebok Freestyle while fitness professional Gin Miller became the face of Step Reebok. And that’s not all: THE PUMP innovation hits markets in 1989, making Reebok a household name in other categories as well.

INNOVATION NEVER SLEEPS 1989 - 1994

While the company was still dealing with financial challenges, a new marketing team refocused adidas on what it has been known for years: making athletes better. Some of the most famous adidas innovations, such as Torsion (1989), the Equipment concept (1991), the Streetball campaign (1992) and the Predator football boot (1994), were born in this era.

NEW CENTURY, NEW DIVISIONS 2000s

As the new century started, adidas reinvented the game again. In addition to its sport performance offering, adidas is the first in the industry to introduce a new lifestyle segment, focusing on sports-inspired streetwear. In the years to come, new partnerships with Yohji Yamamoto (2002) and Stella McCartney (2004) were born along with exciting labels such as Y-3 (2003) and Porsche Design Sport (2007).

The first collection adidas Y-3 (spring/summer 2003)

FINDING NEW TEAMMATES 2009 - 2012

When you are already great, how do you become even better? You keep on training. Or join forces with someone who complements you and your strengths.

In 2011, adidas acquired the outdoor specialist Five Ten, and TaylorMade first the golf company Ashworth in 2009 and then, three years later, the golf equipment company Adams Golf – making the company even stronger for the road ahead.

CREATING THE NEW 2015

In March 2015, the next five-year strategic business plan for the company was presented. 'Creating the New' is the strategy and attitude that leads adidas into the future. The company is working every day to inspire and enable people to harness the power of sport in their lives. The strategy translates that competence in sports into streetwear and fashion because sport is an attitude and a lifestyle. Everything the company does is rooted in sports. As the brown shoe category was not core to this strategy, 2015 saw the divestiture of the Rockport brand. This allowed the company to reduce complexity and focus on the adidas and Reebok brands. These brands connect with consumers; therefore, their success defines the success of the business. With Creating the New, brands are closer to consumers than ever before. To achieve this, the plan is focused on three strategic choices:

Speed: Become the first true fast sports company – fast in satisfying consumer needs, fast in internal decision-making.
Cities: Six key cities in which to grow share of mind, share of market and share of trend are identified: New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Tokyo, London and Paris.
Open Source: Be the first sports company that invites athletes, consumers and partners to be part of the brands.

FOCUS ON KEY COMPETENCIES 2017

With the divestiture of its hockey brand CCM and its golf brands TaylorMade, Adams Golf and Ashworth the company further contributed to its strategy “Creating the New” and focused on its core competencies in footwear and apparel and its major brands adidas and Reebok.

Louis Vuitton x Kanye West Don Patchwork

OREVIEW

Louis Vuitton x Kanye West Don Patchwork

Before starting the current successful project with Adidas, rap musician, producer and businessman Kanye West released sneakers with other brands-in particular, with Louis Vuitton. For example, this model Don - with a top made of premium leather and suede and lace details covered with real gold. For 2009, this was a rather radical experiment, especially since the model looks very sporty, although at that time luxury brands of this level, if they made sports shoes, often preferred a more familiar retro style for their audience.

Nike Air Max 1 Betsy Ross

How did they become a legend?

The official name of this release is Independence Day, it was released in honor of America's Independence Day in 2019. These sneakers became known as "Betsy Ross" — the name of the American flag of the 18th century, which was depicted as one of the symbols of the war of independence. This was quite an ordinary thematic release, which turned into a rarity for collectors after the controversial decision of Nike not to release a ready-made batch for sale.

Football player, public figure and one of the ambassadors of Nike Colin Copernicus expressed the opinion that the chosen historical reference is unfortunate, since the "Betsy Ross" flag is a symbol of the time when slavery officially existed in the country. In the United States, there was a heated discussion about this, and Nike decided to recall the model. In a sense, the gesture was meaningless. Part of the circulation still went to the market: some Internet sites supported the brand and removed ads for the sale of these shoes, but not all did so.

Can I buy it? Now sneakers are on open sale, for example on "eBay" and Grailed. At the time of writing, prices on "eBay" ranged from $1,100 to $17,000. The price depends on the popularity of the size: collectors usually buy a pair of their own size, even if it is not planned to wear, so popular sizes are usually more expensive.

Limited edition Adidas Deadly Focus Pack vs Nike Tiempo Legend VII SE by Sergio Ramos

COMPARISON

Adidas Deadly Focus Pack and Nike Tiempo Legend VII SE by Sergio Ramos

Let's first look at one of the recent innovations in the X 15.1 family, which has an exclusive design, a very technological basis and is intended for those players who like to change the rules of the game. Today we will evaluate Adidas boots from the limited collection Deadly Focus Pack, which was created in collaboration with the famous designer brand Italia Independent. What can the new product boast against the background of the Nike Tiempo Legend VII SE model?

These cleats are different:

Extremely light weight due to the use of the top with 3D Control technology, which also provides players with natural mobility of the foot. Excellent contact with the ball thanks to the unique NON STOP GRIP system, which improves ball control! The stability of the shoes on the field at any speed due to the use of the X-CAGE frame, the updated configuration of the x-CLAW spikes, which allows you to make sharp maneuvers and lightning-fast acceleration that Nike Tiempo does not have.

Black knight

High technology of boots is, of course, good, but the whole point of this collaboration is its unique design. Dark snake print looks very impressive, which is a direct merit of the brand Italia Independent. Have you noticed that the latest Adidas boots almost all have a poisonous bright color? This model from the Deadly Focus Pack stands out for its austerity and refined design, which in 2016 looks even strange and old-fashioned in contrast to Nike.

Sergio Ramos decided not to stay on the sidelines and released a long-awaited update to his personal cleats. As a base model, as always, he chose his favorite Nike Tiempo, which after modification became more technological and, of course, with a personalized design from a famous football player. Today we will take a closer look at the new Nike Tiempo Legend VII SE and find out what it is capable of and how it differs from the black knight.

Now about the most interesting things-technologies and materials. The base of the Nike Tiempo Legend VII SE design is made of light and elastic Flyknit material, but the nose is covered with soft and thin kangaroo skin. Traditionally, the last Tiempo has retained a ribbed structure for better touch and control of the ball, as well as to maintain the rigidity of the structure. The main seamless material provides an adaptive fit and good air exchange, and the elastic kangaroo skin strengthens the toe area, when a special fitmesh lining will not allow it to lose its original shape even after prolonged use of the boots.

As for the sole,everything is at the highest level. This model uses a Hyperstability sole, which is made from pressed nylon. There is also an ultra-light pebax pad, the main task of which is not only to reduce weight, but also to provide high-quality stabilization. Of course, there is also a well-thought-out configuration of spikes that demonstrate excellent grip and allow you to make jerks and any other sharp movements without fear of injury.

Compared to the Adidas Deadly Focus Pack, the new Nike Tiempo Legend VII SE is definitely a bid for success. It is stylish, technological, and very comfortable. A decent job that should be appreciated by both professionals and football fans.
