Check out these new Adidas Consortium ZX500 kicks. Their jazzy look makes these shoes perfect if you want to turn a few heads. Using black premium leather, luxurious suede and reflective silver polka dots, these sneakers really stand out.

The four main colors on these shoes are black, red, white and grey. The main part of the shoes has reflective dots on top of a black background. The result is a polka dot feel that you don’t see on many kicks. But it doesn’t stop there on these shoes. There’s also a shiny red featured on the shoe that has the Adidas logos imprinted on them. The side of the shoe has the three Adidas stripes in white. These are available now at Major, where you can check out other cool choices in the Adidas Consortium series.

A designer with the online handle of desp1 posted these custom Adidas to Fresh and Fly recently. The theme of these custom sneakers is summertime and the designer has succeeded in depicting the cool waters of a swimming pool. The division between the dark blue stripes and the lighter blue back panel shows some sophistication on the part of the designer.

The tri-stripe design as well as the background of the front panel are painted with a dark blue paint that looks like a large island in the middle of the light blue water. Desp1 uses white lines and light blue ovals to make the back panel look like the bottom of a crystal clear swimming pool. These shoes made me think about the warm weather in the months ahead so desp1 has done his job.

As they have done previously, Adidas has made another shoe using an event or festival from a specific country. This time, China’s Qing Ming Festival is the central theme in this shoe. These kicks are another in the line of Adidas’ Flavor of the Month.

Qing Ming means “clear and bright”. In April, they enjoy springtime and tend to the graves of departed ones. As it is very windy, kite flying is a very popular tradition as well.

While these are surely not athletic shoes, the detail and color scheme make a very nice looking shoe. Most of the colors used are in the red family (fire engine red, maroon, pink). The shoes are also produced with a vintage look - intentionally aged by using an off white as a base color. If you are of Chinese heritage or you want to celebrate the Qing Ming Festival, considering copping a pair of these kicks.

These are limited, but you can get them at Overkill and other shops for about $170 USD.

We told you about these shoes a few months back and now they are set to release on April 15th at select retailers such as Flight Club, Bodega, and MAJOR.

This is the next model in the Adidas REMIX collection - their line that centers around the basketball lifestyle. For these shoes, Adidas collaborated with New York-based street wear label, Lemar and Dauley. Two very different colorways are available - teal and black. On the black edition, a pink/red checkerboard design exists in several places throughout the shoe but it is most notable on the back. Besides pink, this colorway uses many other colors, including red, yellow and green.

The other shoe combines teal, white and grey on the front of the shoe. And in a dramatic twist, the back half of the shoe uses black and a checkboard design.

These shoes will hit the stores in very limited quantities on Tuesday, April 15th. Via Freshness.

Adidas has produced a new pair of Gazelles in honor of skateboarder Mark Gonzales. Gonzales became a pioneer in skateboarding by performing tricks in the San Francisco-era during the 1980s. His work as a street skater helped break the sport out of its niche into the general public.

The Adidas Mark Gonzales Gazelle has brown suede with white leather stripes. The Adidas symbol on the heel tag is an electric blue to match the skateboarder’s signature on the edge of the third stripe. Adidas also placed the signature and the skateboarder’s name in print on the tongue tag to show the importance of his accomplishments. The major distinction between regular Gazelles and the Mark Gonzales Gazelles is a ridged black edge running along the front part of the outsole.

I love the original Adidas Gazelles and I think that it is great that the company is honoring a legend in the sport. The colorway and blue accents work well together to spruce up one of the company’s signature shoes. These shoes will be spreading like wildfire in the month of April so a trip to your local skate shop now wouldn’t be a bad idea.
