An interesting new Adidas Top Ten Hi is about to be released. Inspired by the Japanese festival known as Tanabata, the adidas Top Ten Hi carries the two different comics of Mikeran and Tanabata on the right and left tongue. To top it off, it’s emblazed with an all-over print that relates to the tradition of writing wishes on small pieces of coloured paper. Via Sneaker Freaker.
A clean looking shoe. The one blue lace hole is also a nice detail. Expect these to be released soon.

Beinghunted.gallery and Firmament present: 1979 – A Capsule Photo Exhibition by Estevan Oriol. After the Wood Wood x Arkitip exhibition, yet another highlight in Berlin!

Undefeated, adidas Originals and Estevan Oriol celebrate adidas Basketball History with 1979. Join us for the opening of the capsule photo exhibition – 1979 – by Estevan Oriol at Firmament this coming Friday, February 1st.

As part of the 1979 project, the photographs on display are from the book by the same title. Utilizing the skills and credibility of photographer Estevan Oriol, it displays basketball as an urban and maverick game, providing a rich, broad range of images. This abstract, artistic depiction of the game is experienced by those who play it as a true metaphor of battle. Without violence, it focuses on skill, finesse and style as the tools for victory.

This show will be live at Beinghunted.gallery shortly. The signed and framed photographs – from an edition of 20 – will be for sale in-store from February 1st and online in the following week.
Make sure to pass by the event if you can make it!

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.
Check out more images after the jump.
