Adidas x Def Jam: Young Jeezy Forum Mid RS

The Forum Mid RS Def Jam - a new arrival priced at $100 - is definitely going on my wishlist. I love the simple color combo and the subtle gold signature on the side. Supposedly they come with gold tipped laces too!

"Soul Survivor to Sole Survivor, Young Jeezy steps out with his very own signature Forum Mid RS Def Jam kicks. These shoes feature a classic execution of the basketball icon, highlighted with a vivid color combo, gold-tipped laces, and Jeezy’s initials."

Adidas Conductor Hi Green/Black/Yellow/White Remake

The Conductor Hi remake in green, black, yellow, and white is one of my favorite versions of this shoe. I definitely made sure to grab a pair at the Adidas Originals Berkeley store in California. These shoes were made for basketball but they work great for freestyle dancing; tons of ankle support, the shoe-box allows easy toe stands and tips, and the high top is made to allow the tongue to ride on the outside adding to the retro style of the shoe.

"I’m sure back in 79 when Adidas launched the Conductor Hi they had no idea that retros would be all the rage... Also of interest is the textured patent material used for the heel of the shoe."

Einzigartig Adidas

Einzigartig Adidas? You're probably wondering 'what does this mean'?

In the German language, einzigartig is a word that describes the inimitable, singular, unique, unrivaled, or one-of-a-kind. In every language, Adidas is the name of the second biggest sportswear manufacturer in the world.

At some point in my life I became deeply, and lovingly obsessed with this brand. I can't recall exactly when it happened, nor can I explain precisely why I developed such loyalty for Adidas. Regardless, I can't live without my Campus 80's or my Stan Smith's, my Super Skate's or my Superstar's, my Top Ten's or my Bucktown's, my Forum's, my Conductor's, or even my Adidas socks.

This blog will be a tribute to the Adidas brand, a place for me to post my findings and feelings about their past, present, and future product releases.

Einzigartig Adidas!
