Pas de repos pour Adidas qui malgré sa position dominante dans le secteur des équipementiers et sa riche histoire , a toujours du mal à faire le poids dans le "sneaker game" , face à un Nike omniprésent et des challengers ambitieux .
Pour la 3éme année consécutive , la marque nous propose donc la collection Consortium avec 6 modéles prévus pour ce mois de Janvier .
A premiére vue , ils ont décidé de nous faire oublier une année 2007 assez terne avec des coloris bien flashy ... voir carrément fluo , apparemment dans la tendance 2008 selon les insiders .
Résultats des courses :
. deux coloris de Gazelle vraiment affreux .
. une Campus qui reprend judicieusement le traitement vintage des Campus Foot Patrol .
. une belle utilisation du suede sur les 3 autres paires avec notamment un joli dégradé sur la Super Skate .
Pas de révélations malheureusemnt ... même si la Campus et la Super Skate me plaisent assez .

"In 1985, the entire world stood on its ear with the release of the AIR JORDAN-a white, red and black fashion statement that revolutionized the athletic footwear industry. Much like Michael Jordan in his rookie season, the original AIR JORDAN was the beginning of something legendary. From Rucker Park to Park Avenue, from Hollywood to Wall Street, the AIR JORDAN sneaker has consistently been the most sought after athletic luxury basketball shoe. Sneaker enthusiasts have credited the shoe as the impetus behind "sneakerhead" collectible market. Twenty-three shoes later, the Jordan Brand introduces a product truly worthy of being called the "Greatest Basketball Shoe Ever," the AIR JORDAN XX3, is poised to tilt the world once again.
For each iteration of AIR JORDANs created, inspiration is everything. The F-22 stealth fighter jet served as inspiration for the XX2. The muse behind the design of the XIII was the Black Panther and the XIV paid homage to the Ferrari 550 M. The AIR JORDAN XX3 simply embodies the belief held by Michael Jordan and Tinker Hatfield, Vice President, Innovation Design & Special Projects, that the AIR JORDAN XX3 must be the best ever. To accomplish this, new technological advances were built into the shoe to create the first Nike Considered, high-performance basketball shoe in NIKE, Inc. history in a beautiful handcrafted silhouette the world has ever seen.
In the spirit of sustainability, the AIR JORDAN XX3 is the first basketball shoe for Nike to embrace the Nike Considered design ethos, where details in the development and design of the shoe seek to reduce waste and allow for the use of environmentally preferred materials wherever possible-all without compromising athletic performance. The Nike Considered design ethos is one of several company-wide corporate responsibility targets that NIKE, Inc. has implemented to sustain long-term growth and innovation. "
