After recently presenting you the first release of the adidas Originals Rod Laver Series, which included collaborations with DQM, Undefeated, Limiteditions and VA, we give you a look today at the next drop of the series, this time featuring collaborative sneakers with Solebox, D-Mop, Wood Wood and Goodfoot.

Once again each partner created an interesting new look for this 40 year old classic, bringing it back to live today. D-Mop used silver leather all over the upper, Goodfoot gave the sneaker a varsity jacket styling, Solebox took influences from hiking, and Wood Wood concentrates on premium details and an overall subtle look. Finally CLOT gave the sneaker an all pony skin upper.

Detailed images of all new adidas Originals Rod Laver Drop 2 sneakers follow after the jump.

With the choice of working on the 5 models together in whatever manner they chose Acu, Crooked Tongues (London based but with strong ties to Thailand), D-Mop and VA decided to pair up on two shoes each and all collaborate together on the fifth. The 5 retailers worked on the Samba, Forum Mid, Nizza, Stan Smith and the Superstar, all together covering the most prominent sneakers in the adidas Originals catalogue. The sneakers will go on sale at adidas Consortium retailers on July 18th.

ACU, the sneaker store in Shanghai by the CLOT crew, will soon be closing its doors. But do not worry, not for long. They are planning on re-opening some time later this year with a new concept. The idea is to bring a concept to Shanghai, that mixes the ACU and the Juice concepts, thus bringing sneakers but also much more select clothing brands to the Chinese market. Hopefully we know more soon. You can expect a re-opening towards the end of the summer, beginning of fall.

ACU and CLOT got together to make some polo shirts. They come in two colorways – white and green. There is an embroidery on the chest and the logos of both ACU and CLOT are embroidered on the back. Other than the slightly longer sleeves than on a regular polo there is nothing really special about these, which makes them probably the most simple and subtle piece to ever come out of the CLOT crew.
The ACU x CLOT polo shirts will be released at ACU Shanghai on the 22nd of September. Check out more pics after the jump.
