MATCHPLAY × J. THOMPSON

Sydney-based designer J. Thompson’s shoe is heavily influenced by heritage design; with its worn-in finish and authentic detailing defining his interpratition of the classic Matchplay sneaker. Inspired by Adidas archive shoes from the ’30s, Thompson has used very subtle waxed leather to give 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

London based graphic artist Kate Moross has chosen a predominately grey suede upper that features reflective triangles that reference the Olympic colour scheme. A grey midsole and laces underpin the shoe, although in true Moross style, this updated version of the BC also comes with an extra pack of bright laces with alternating aglet colours to contrast the tonal base palette. A bright green fabric loop on the heel tab and red loop on the tongue featuring Kate’s logo, completing this innovative and unique reworking.

DECADE HI × ALOE BLACC

Although Aloe Blacc is representing LA, his reworking of the Decade Hi is inspired by African athletes. The shoe is made from from oxblood leather chosen to represent African soil, whilst the translucent gum outsole represents the bare foot of Blacc’s inspiration, Ethiopian gold medalist and marathon runner Abebe Bikila. The detailing is subtle and premium, with Blacc’s sunglasses and bow-tie motif embossed into the leather.

ZX 500 × QUOTE

The first drop is completed by Berlin native and sneaker collector Quote’s reworking of the ZX 500 running silhouette. This version remains loyal to the ‘80s original using a mix of nylon and mesh throughout whilst 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. The detailing is novel, yet subtle, with the Olympic colours appearing only as a flash of colour on the outsole and the inside of the tongue fabric loop featuring a tattooed fist motif.

Last year, Avenue as only store in Belgium, was awarded an Consortium account by Adidas. Consortium (the term actually refers to a select group of retailers who are close to the Trefoil, such as WoodWood, DQM, Alife, Footpatrol and Bodega) being the highest most exclusive line of Adidas Originals footwear. Today we’re very proud to present a preview of the first Adidas Consortium release in 2012 – ‘Your Story’, releasing in store May 19th. Based on the upcoming Olympics, this highly limited pack sees Adidas team up with 9 new collaborators, all of whom come from Olympic cities across the globe. Each shoe is a representation of the designer’s own, very personal Olympic memories, visualized through a number of Adidas archive silhouettes. Consortium’s new instalment promises to bring a diverse offering to its followers, whilst maintaining the impeccable quality and attention to detail that it’s known for. More news coming soon, so check back for further information and a closer look.

When something with the history and pedigree like the Jack Purcell by CONVERSE comes along for a touch-up, it doesn’t need much tweaking to make it a hit. First introduced back in the ’30′s, these redone classics, the Johnny Hi and the Johnny Ox received a fine pinstripe makeover with opaque rip stop overlays, tortoise shell eyelets, greystone accents, and a blue ‘smile’ on the toe cap, which make this shoe was relevant today as it was over 80 years ago. Both the low and high-top silhouettes received CONVERSE’s removable cushioned innersole and a pair of white laces, which match the Jack Purcell signature on the tongue. Now available in store.
