adidas Originals Nizza Hi "Zip"

Adidas is coming correct with this recreation of the classic Nizza. I'm really feeling the solid colors, and the accents are a nice touch on the beige and black pairs. I think the red looks good with the black, but the navy pair could have used some red or burgundy on the tongue and interior. If you don't like dealing with laces, these are for you, as a zipper is used on the heel from the sole to the collar. And for you vegetarians and vegans who avoid leather and suede, I believe these are made entirely of synthetic materials.

Adidas Does the NBA Right

After a pathetic attempt at creating NBA team Superstars (the Heat colorway was quite possibly the worst of the bunch), Adidas has redeemed themselves with this new collection of Eastern Conference themed Centennial Mids. All five designs are on point, although I think my favorites are the Heat and Knicks, mainly just because of how they're logos look on the tongue. I'm really feeling the overall color of the Cavs and Magic joints, though. I'm not sure when these are supposed to drop, but I've got to get me a pair of the Heat colorway.
