Adidas Consortium New Arrivals

The Adidas Consortium and Originals lines have been nothing short of on point as of late. From the Star Wars collaboration to the general releases, the brand with three stripes has hit us with some great colourways. And continuing that trend are these color-ups of the ZX8000 and Torsion SP, which both just landed at Proper.

The “Runners Pack” ZX8000, which features a mix of grey suede and black mesh for its base. Teal accents appear throughout to brighten things up. The Torsion SP uses shades of tan and grey to provide a natural look, despite its multiple yellow, blue and fuschia attributes.

Kalavinka x Adidas Samba



Adidas has put in a lot of effort into representing cities all over the world with their Consortium “City Series” Collection, with Tokyo retailers and artists playing a large part. Kalavinka is the next in line with this Samba, having taken a classic soccer shoe and transformed it into a cycling sneaker.

White leather comprises the upper on these, with a hit of grey nubuck on the toe cap. Royal blue stripes appear on the mid-panel, and a strip of multiple colors is used on the heel. The design element you probably notice first is the large lace cover flap, which is part of the cycle-readiness conversion of these. These have hit select retailers.

Adidas Consortium “Your City” Series, part 3





In the third installment of the Adidas Consortium “Your City” Series, Europe, Canada and Japan are all paid tribute and given their own collaborations, as the sneaker giant has paired with a shop in each city.

The Adidas Tokio is done here by VA, a shop out of Tokyo. This sneaker uses an all black upper, mixing ripstop nylon and leather on the toes. Yellow accents are used for the lace loops and a white midsole finishes them off. Toronto’s Livestock went to town on this runner with a load of grey in suede and other choice materials. Blue is used for accents, and an orange heel patch pops off the darker colour-up. The London is done here by Crooked Tongues in a dark grey, while red stripes and gold are used throughout, including the top eyelet. Finally, the adidas Paris is done by Colette, who chose a clean white base for their project. The stripes are done with multiple colours on the stripes, which use a polka dot pattern. All four shoes also feature special tags, representing for each shop and their hometown.
