Solebox stands alone as the most prolific collaborator in 2009. Their adidas cf racertr women boots clearance started things early with its February release, only to be totally overshadowed by the Billie Jean-evoking adidas cm8298 sneakers for women shoes. They brought us a adidas trefoil tee navy and pink dress outfit in late spring that threw a houndstooth twist on Vans’ cherished checkerboard pattern and a month later got up with Hypebeast and adidas on the Zeitfrei ‘Complete Ride’ collection. Hikmet must really like the three stripes, cos after the Zeitfrei and a Consortium release of adidas dance floor.socks girls shoes free, we see another co-branded effort from Germany’s top sneaker boutique and the Trifoil brand.
The Solebox x adidas Berlin takes a shoe perfectly named for its designer and cranks the dial up on ‘crispness’. They go with a dark navy blue upper that combines leather and woven nylon. It’s a natural match with the baby blue that comes in on the tongues and sockliner, so laces in either colour look great. Both pairs of laces have gold tips, a shine replicated on the foil-printed outer side panels. The left reads ‘solebox’, the right ‘Berlin’, and that’s where you can cop these gumsoled beatuies come October 17th.
