The year was 1994 and Airwalk had an instant hit with the “Jim” trio. In true irreverent skate fashion, the “Jim” styles poked fun at more traditional sports, with a hi-top made from goosepimpled basketball rubber, a fuzzy low style fashioned from tennis-ball fabric, and a golf-inspired style (not pictured) with a dimpled toe. Though these styles have been relegated to the archives, there are still some pairs in existence, that Airwalk has released now. Look out for them and worst case scenario, you will have to look on eBay.

Adidas teamed up with jewelry designer Gabriel Urist to design a shoe to be worn by all players at the Celebrity All Star Game. They worked on the TS Pro Model, where the designer added his signature and lots of other small details both on the upper and on the inner sole.
The shoes are now available at Sneaker Politics. After the jump detailed images of the collaboration.

The year is almost over and we have seen once again tons of new sneakers, collaborations and more. We have seen good, interesting and strange sneakers from the big players this year, but it sure looks like one of the most interesting is yet to come, by none other than Undefeated and Adidas.
Undefeated and Adidas got together to celebrate the “1979″ Top Ten sneaker. The outcome is an amazing box set. The sneaker looks subtle, but has lots of nice small details, such as the “basketball” like upper, golden plated lace jewels and eyelets, and the transparent sole finishing. The sneaker comes in a black box, with real wood flooring, and a book, featuring photographs by long time documenter Estevan Oriol.

The sneakers will be released in February at Adidas Consortium stores, such as Solebox and Foot Patrol. Limited to 650 pairs worldwide, the set will go for 450 USD. It’s expensive, but it has been a while since we have seen something this special and well executed. Probably the most interesting pack fro Adidas all year. Via Crooked Tongues.
