Shame you can't have 12 letters, DJ.

I know - I guess I'll just have to settle for 'wild thing'

Berlin was done before NYC apparently

I guess I'll have to snoop around for a nice cheap weekend trip to Berlin then... asap!!!

That's the performance side of things.
They've been doing that for a while.

gutted , bloody performance shoes , i did email em and ask if they are going to ever get superstars in for the mi range and im still waiting back for an email

i'm going to get running shoes made with 'slow as' on the heel.

This is good to hear! Can't wait for it to be available on the internet and it can only improve within that time

Also some useful info Scuderia....be sure to post pics as soon as you get 'em!

Much thanks for the reporting scrud!
Can you pick the color of each of the three stripes?
What about the trefoil on the back?

"Then you can pick the materials and colors for the stripes and back end where the adidas logo is at the top
-You have options of faux leather, comfort leather, suede, patent, or snake like printed leather"

no info about the trefoil... right?

hey, sorry for the late response again, class has been keeping me super busy. the shoes take 3 weeks to arrive to the adidas originals store in soho, and they will contact you once they receive it, and you would normally have to go pick them up. once they receive my shoes though, they will be shipping them out to me via 2 day express shipping. i'll definitely take plenty of pics when they arrive. and to color options, from what I can remember, they offered:

Orange
Brown
Black
Indigo
Blue
Green (Forest Green)
White
Red
Yellow

These colors were available for all the materials, and as stated before for the back portion when choosing faux leather you could choose a polka dot pattern, an adidas trefoil monogram, or diagonal stripes in black over the color you pick. Or you could opt for a set camo print.

The sole color options were:
Black, Chalk, Gum, and White

The stitching color option was only for the sole portion of the shoe, and no you cannot choose the individual color of each strip, it's the same material and color for the stripes and trefoil at the back.

On another note I made it to the store on Saturday with a friend since he wanted to buy the new Haiti track jacket, and the whole Mi Adidas system was down, and had been acting up the whole day according to the store salesman. I also went to DQM, but the whole store is nothing but Nike's! They only had like 3 pairs of Adidas in the whole store, which was very disappointing. And I also made it to the BBC/ Ice Cream store, which by far has to be the coolest store I've ever been to! BAPE comes in second. What was really night was they made it smell like ice cream and waffles on the ground floor where the Ice Cream brand of clothing is sold, in a Ice Parlor like setting. And as you walk up the stairs in a black painted hallway, with blue LED lighting you make it into a space/ galaxy type setting where the BBC line is sold. I couldn't get any pics of the store as they didnt' allow me to, and at DQM there was nothing worth taking a pic of, lol.

Anyways I hope this answers the questions, and if I missed any i'm sorry but it's been another long and busy day.

Cheers scud for another gr8 report and thanks for taking the time to do it as well!!seems like your busy living the life m8 and enjoying it to the max.
Looking forward to the pics thanks again
