Adidas x Def Jam: Redman Superstar & Forum Mid


I came across another two shoes from the Adidas x Def Jam collection today, the new Superstar and the new Forum Mid from Redman.

"The Superstar comes with a red suede upper and black details, as well as a speckled sole. The Forum Mid comes in white/blue/red with gold accents."

Adidas Conductor Olympic


The Conductor Olympic is - in my opinion - the best remake of the Adidas Conductor. The mostly black shoe with a hint of the Olympic colors on the side looks slick. There is also a gold Olympic Torch on the tongue of the shoe that forms the usual Adidas trefoil symbol.

I saw this shoe for the first time today while looking for photos of the green and orange version I bought in February. There are actually many different remakes of the Adidas Conductor, including another (newer) Olympic version.

"Back in ‘86 these shoes were the signature shoe for the young Patrick Ewing. In fact, the official name for these shoes were the Adidas Ewing Conductor, a beefed up version of the Adidas Ewing Rivalry."
