ADIDAS GRUN COLLECTION !

Adidas Originals has gone all eco on us and presents the Grün collection that aims to better the environment by efficiently utilizing the natural resources of this world. With three guiding elements of “Made From”, “Recycled” and “Reground”, adidas Grün offers a range of products, including classic silhouettes like the Forum basketball sneaker and the ZX 500 runner, all made from recycled and natural materials. If it can work for Nike with the Considered line then this could be big news for adidas and the more eco conscious sneaker head..

Snookers

Adidas is presenting us with new models for 2010 as they introduce this new collection called as the Adidas SLVR. This collection includes various models designed with subtle branding and detailing that you can compare to fashion shoes seen on runways. These sneakers in this SLVR collection include high and low tops which you can use depending on your demand. These sneakers include a monotone upper which are available in either black and white. The only designs that you can find on this pair are the seams and patches of leather. These sneakers also don’t include the usual three stripes on the side panels instead; they have used three horizontal stripes found on the collar or on the midsole of the sneaker. All of these models are available with matching shoelaces and midsole while the outsole varies depending on the model. These sneakers are now available for grabs at Adidas SLVR outlets in New York and Miami U.S.A. These will also be available at selected Adidas Accounts soon worldwide.

World 2010 Football Cup

Just like the World Cup happens every four years, so does the coming of a new official adidas match ball. Named, “JABULANI” which means “to celebrate” in isiZulu, the new adidas ball will be the only ball used during the month-long tournament that starts in June. 11 is a big number that relates to the “JABULANI” ball as it sports an impressive 11 different colors. This was chosen for the 11 players who take the field for every team during the tournament, the 11 official languages of South Africa, (isiZulu is spoken by 25% of the people), and the 11 South African tribes that make the country extremely diverse. The ball’s design was created to, “lend the ball a unique appearance in African spirit. Like the outer facade of Johannesburg’s Soccer City Stadium, individual design elements capture the colorfulness of South Africa.”

“For me, contact with the ball is all-important,” says Real Madrid’s Brazilian superstar Kaka. “That’s just great with this ball.” Using revolutionary ‘Grip’n’Groove’ technology, the ball is covered in small aero grooves that provide, “unmatched flight characteristics, making this the most stable and most accurate adidas ball ever.” In addition, the “goose bumps” effect that was first seen in the 2008 European Championships has been upgraded in the “JABULANI” ball giving it a, “more futuristic texture and extensive grip.” Facing the prospect of stopping the ball, Chelsea’s Czech goalkeeper, Petr Cech really can feel the power of the ball, “You can feel the energy coming towards you,” said Cech. “Like a shot.” Tested for use at Loughborough University in England and at the adidas football laboratory in Germany, the “JABULANI” ball was put into action through adidas’ partnership with the world-class athletes at AC Milan, FC Bayern Munchen, the Orlando Pirates and Ajax Cape Town.
