The drop date for the Olympics-themed “Your Story” collection from adidas Consortium is less than 48 hours away. We’ve already profiled the Pro Shell by Muro, BC by Kate Moross, Matchplay by Jim Thompson and Decade Hi by Aloe Blacc. Rounding out the quintet of limited edition kicks is the ZX 500 as designed by renowned sneaker collector and Berlin native Quote. The nylon and suede construction of the shoe is in line with the runner’s 1980s origins, and the nicely understated blue and grey colorway is inspired by the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Olympic colors on the rubber outsole, plus “Quote” fist graphic on the inside of the tongue tag, complete the details. Look for the “Your Story” collection to land at select retailers May 19th.

Release Date: May 19th, 2012 (Saturday)

The adidas Consortium “Your Story” collection continues its way to select retailers and it is bringing along with it Aloe Blacc‘s take on the Decade Hi. We already previewed J. Thompson, Kate Moross, and DJ Muro‘s contributions, but the rapper/trendsetter from LA chose to go with the 1984 basketball classic drapped a premium ox blood-collored leather, which is reminicent of the African soil while the icy sole represents the barefeet of Ethiopian gold medalist and marathoner Abebe Bikila. The personal branding on the inside of the tan leather tongue and footbed finish off the look. These kicks are slated to land at select retailers on May 19th.

In addition to the detailed shots of DJ Muro’s Pro Shell we posted today, shots of Jim Thompson’s contribution to the adidas Consortium “Your Story” campaign are also out to amp up the energy ahead of their Saturday release. The designer from Sydney’s Three Over One transforms the classic Matchplay silhouette to give it an uncomplicated, but vintage look inspired by kicks from adidas’ Track & Field archives. Featuring a black waxed leather upper and a matching pigskin suede toe-box, Thompson’s decision to leave out the inner-line gives this shoe a hand-made feel. A distressed white rubber midsole that matches the branding on the ankle enhance the old-school personality of this sneaker. Three Over One branding finishes off the look under the Tri-Foil tag on the tongue. Look for these and other pieces of the adidas Consortium collection at select retailers beginning Saturday, May 19th.

Here’s a detailed look at one of the sneaker styles from the quintet of kicks that make up the upcoming “Your Story” collection from the Consortium imprint of adidas Originals. These BCs come courtesy of Kate Moross, a filmmaker, designer and illustrator from London, whose choice to go the minimalist route works well with the simple lines of the shoe. This BC (formerly known as the Baltic Cup and originally intended for used on handball courts) carries a tonal suede upper adorned  with a subtle geometric pattern and flecks of color throughout, providing a welcome contrast to the neutral background. The kicks are slated to land at select retailers on May 19th.

The adidas Originals’ “Your Story” Collection that we have been previewing over the last couple of weeks is teeing up for their May 19 releases. We begin our a series of detailed looks with what DJ Muro’s describes as an “aggressive” version of the Pro Shell silhouette, with strong, deep colors, including dark green and black with pops of red accents on the tongue and heel. DJ Muro used a mix of suede and jersey material with engineered stripes reminiscent of the partial cut-off track top and a his skull and crossbones logo fitting of this shoe’s tough look. The look is topped off with a velcro strap and “Keep on Diggin’” laces. For those who wants to view the design in person, Muro’s kick will be available at select retailers beginning Saturday, May 19th.

Final release information for the three-way power collab between WHIZ Limited, mita sneakers, and New Balance we previewed earlier in the month on a CM 1700 has come in and, based on these new shots, NB fans won’t soon be forgetting their brothers from across the pond. Set for a April 28 release at select retailers throughout Asia, these red, white, and blue kicks feature a glow-in-the-dark underlay beneath WHIZ’s signature star pattern on the toe and ankle as well as on the NB tag on the tongue (you can also check out our preview for more looks at the unique triple-branding on the insole). However, we get the feeling that sneakerheads from around the world will be clamoring to get their hands on their own pair so stay tuned to Freshness for any news on a potential release near you.
