Adidas Consortium : Your Story

admin — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:31:32 +0000

When adidas Originals brought Consortium back for FW11, the slate was wiped clean giving a fresh start
to the premium range. It also paved the way for the next collection as they invited creative partners
to fill in the canvas.

“Your Story” starts with the following four on the 19th of May at Solebox :

ZX 500 × Quote

Berlin native and sneaker
collector Quote is passionate
about the ZX 500 running
silhouette and brings his
enthusiasm to the table to design
his own version for Consortium
2012. This version remains loyal
to the ‘80s original using a mix of
nylon and mesh throughout.
Quote’s muted colour-way is
directly influenced by the blue and
white track of the Berlin Olympic
Stadium, where his favourite
football team are based and a
place he spends a lot of his time
in, with the pertinent Olympic
colours thrown in on the outsole.
On the inside of the tongue’s fabric
loop tag sits a fist tattooed with
Quote’s namesake.

Decade Hi × Aloe Blacc

Representing the LA contingent
is soul singer / songwriter
Aloe Blacc, who has risen
to considerable fame over the
past couple of years. Now, for
Consortium SS 12, he’s partnered
with adidas Originals to bring his
own Olympic memories to the
Decade Hi.
The ox blood premium leather
is suggestive of African soil
while the translucent gum outsole
represents the bare foot of Blacc’s
inspiration, Ethiopian gold
medalist and marathon runner
Abebe Bikila, who competed in
the 1960 Olympics held in Rome.
A debossed logo of Blacc’s
sunglasses and bow tie sits
on the medial while a debossed
Trefoil on the profile.
Thick stitching on the midsole
give it a street heavy appeal,
whilst adding a touch of premium.

Pro Shell × Muro

Muro has partnered up
with adidas Originals to create
a bold and, as he describes it,
‘aggressive’ version of the Pro
Shell with its strong and deep
colour choices of dark green,
black and pops of red.
Overall, Muro’s Pro Shell
is understated, but bursts of
detail are found throughout,
like the jersey material covering
the ankle padding that features
engineered stripes reminiscent
of a track top’s cuff. Additionally,
Muro’s modus operandi can be
found on the laces, snakeskineffect
is used on the 3-stripes and
unfastening of the velcro reveals
bright colours underneath.
A Muro skull and crossbones logo
sits on the heel for a tough looking
street shoe that represents Tokyo
for Consortium SS 12.

Matchplay × J. Thompson

Such an understated sneaker like
the Matchplay needs to be treated
with finesse and Jim Thompson
of Sydney label Three Over One
has done just that, sticking to his
uncomplicated design aesthetic.
Thompson’s own style is
heavily influenced by the past;
from the worn-in workmanship
right down to the attitude and
it’s all evident in his interpretation
of the Matchplay for Consortium
SS 12. Thompson looked back
to the adidas archives of track
and field shoes from the ‘30s
as inspiration, and has used
very subtle waxed leather on
most of the upper which gives
it a vintage look. A matching
pigskin suede toebox shows
impeccable attention to detail
while the lack of lining gives
it a handcrafted feel.

BC × Kate Moross

Kate Moross is the London based
creative whose love of all things
geometric has earned her a solid
reputation in the design industry.
Her distinctive style has her
partnering up adidas Originals
to interpret the BC, paying
homage to the Olympics in her
own graphic way.
The predominately grey
suede upper features reflective
triangles all over, some of them
referencing the Olympic colourway,
which pop when the light
hits the surface. The grey midsole
anchors the look, as do the grey
laces, although this version of
the BC also comes with a bonus
pack containing a selection of
bright laces with alternating aglet
colours. A bright green fabric
loop tag on the heel tab and red
one on the tongue featuring Kate
Moross’s logo complete this
quirky shoe.

And we love Puma too : )
