As most of you should know by now the last drop of the adidas aZX collection is dropping October 18th. The letter “T” was taken by Crooked Tongues and they worked on the top of the line adidas ZX 9000. For their shoe they made a commcerical. Check it out here above!

Today we present you the last series of sneakers out of the adidas aZX range. We have already seen lots of high profile collaborations in the series, and in this last drop it does also not slow down. You will find collaborations on the adidas aZX series with DQM, A.R.C, Sneakers N Stuff, Crooked Tongues, Undefeated, VA and Wood Wood. The stores worked on a series of models and the turn-out is once again impressive.

The last drop of the adidas aZX series, letters Q to W, will be released worldwide on October 18th.

Have a detailed look at the entire adidas aZX Q To W line-up after the jump, including a nice video supporting the collection..

When adidas gave the go-ahead to proceed with a themed Oktoberfest collaboration, Crooked Tongue’s collective minds instinctively headed to the Cities Series for the München – a late ’70’s indoor training shoe design, that originally carried the vast PU cup sole akin to the mighty Trimm Trab. And while photographic evidence indicates the München may have had a brief career as a volleyball shoe of choice, like many of its contemporaries, cult status in the UK beckoned as a oft-envied piece of terrace, pub and casual wear in the early ’80s.

Given the Munich location of the famed booze-based festival it was a no-brainer, amplifying the undisputed connoisseur pub shoe status on UK shores back to its namesake and the granddaddy of all beer events. Seeing as it’s a shoe they’ve loved in dual-tone texture mixes before, they wanted to give it some similar elements, and in the knowledge that some conceptual pieces get lost in heavy-handed storytelling, in a nutshell; they saw images of some lederhosen, noted the unexpected mixes of colour amid the well-known traditional elements, decided it looked unexpectedly fresh and set about working it into the shoe.

Trying to make their mark without sullying the basic appeal, the soft tan leather and suede upper is complimented by red suede stripes, a forest green canvas heel tab, solitary gold eyelet, and darker brown suede lining. Beyond the colourway, materials are integral without making it too busy – conscious of its relevance to a particularly discerning consumer they were keen not to diminish the original appeal while making their mark. The gold Crooked lettering and trefoil on the heel, and embroidered tongue and footbed branding completes a collaborative classic for the Winter months. One also has got to love the “Crööked” branding on the side panels of the sneaker. Solid all the way!

Released on the 26th of September, exclusively through Crooked Tongues, and retailing at 60gbp, the adidas x Crooked Tongues ‘Oktoberfest’ München is limited to just 300 pairs. The sneakers are available now!

Crooked Tongues has relaunched their online store. One of the few spots on the web to carry the real treasures of the sneaker game, they will also be introducing more heavily limited edition new models.
With the relaunch of their online store, they are also already offering pre-orders of the much anticipated upcoming Adidas aZX collection, that will be officially released on the 8th of August.

When it comes to sneaker customes there are several routes to take. In our opinion there are only two that make sense – either its a real piece of art, so you do not really count on wearing them, or they look as if they just came out of the sneaker factory, and can thus be worn. Crooked Tongues teamed up with sneaker customizer Rob L to work on the Puma XR Runner. The designer created a nice and sublt green pattern on the sneaker, making it look as if it came from Puma directly. Overal 10 pairs were made and are right now being exclusively sold over at the Crooked Tongues store.
Also make sure to read the interview in the news section on their site with the customizer!

Kiks TYO, the Japanese sneaker inspired brand, has just released two new t-shirts. This time they once again worked with AKI HOSHINO, the most well known gravure idol in Japan. It does not stop here. For this limited release, which will only be available at selected stores around the globe, the brand also worked with Crooked Tongues and PlayStation 3. They made a t-shirt with each one of the brands.
Check out the PS3 t-shirt after the jump.

Rumors have been floating around for while, these last couple of days lots of teaser images circulated as well, but one could never really see what the Nike SB “What The Dunk?” shoe looked like and incorporated. Crooked Tongues now got their hands on a pair and took some nice detailed shots.
If this was a regular Nike SB release with no story to it, we would have to go on about how horrible the sneaker looks, because what you see here above is actually one pair of sneakers, not four. The Nike SB “What The Dunk?” is being released to commemorate the release of the first Nike SB movie, Nothing But The Truth. To celebrate this movie, which was 3 years in the making, they created the “What The Dunk?” shoe, which mixes patterns, colors, symbols and logos of the most popular Nike SB sneakers made to date. Looking at it from that perspective, it actually makes it a nice collectors item, just please don’t wear them!
After the jump lots of detailed pictures. Try to guess which sneakers went into this one.

We have reported a little about the Crooked Tongues x New Era caps a while ago and now we can give you some more info on them. They will be bringing out a trio of caps all featuring the “CT” logo as a 3D embroidery on the front – black/orange, green/green and beige/yellow. Under the brim there are some pattern prints that pay homage to some classic UK albums from the 89-91 period.
The caps are limited to 50 pieces per colorway and are on sale now in the Crooked Tongues store. They go for 28 GBP per hat or 75 GBP for the set. After the jump some more pics.

Because of the amazing reception to the Crooked Tongues BBK BBQ adidas Superskate, they held back a small quantity of the shoes and the accompanying t-shirt for sale exclusively through their website. Priced at 95 GBP, they’re going live at 2pm (London time!) this afternoon.
The first 15 orders get a set of the ridiculously limited commemorative BBQ lace jewels…

Crooked Tongues previewed their upcoming New Era caps. They present a set of three caps – khaki, black, green. All three feature the “CT” letters as a 3D embroidery on the front with a sprinkled frame going around. The caps resemble earlier Crooked Tongues sneaker collaborations and are apparently dropping at the New Era flagship store in London very soon. We’ll keep you posted.
