Shoe Date #3.

Shoe date number three with Bob Daktari, and unlike shoe date number 2, we actually came away with shoes this time.  We both got a pair Stan Smith editions, and I also picked up some Darth Vader hi-tops.  Bob collected the X-Wing Sambas.  Photo’s below. (more…)

Augmented Reality Shoes.

Adidas have released the Originals Game Pack line of sneakers.  The tongues feature AR markers which allow you to use the shoes as controllers in a virtual version of the adidas Originals neighborhood, and there will be a new game or virtual neighborhood each month starting in February.  More details here or here.

The Stormtrooper Shelltoe Date.

Bob Daktari and I head out on a shoe date to hunt down the first in a series of the Adidas Originals Star Wars collection – Stormtrooper Shelltoes!  All the geeky details are here: Star Wars tips on the laces, stormtrooper mask imprint, the Star Wars logo engraved into the back, not to mention clear soles that reveal a stormtrooper design.
