Hey, you guys! I’m yuli bai. Currently, I’m studying in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (the Institute of Textile & Clothing) as a Ph.D student. My research project is a survey of the collaboration between artists and fashion brands (including sportswear brand). This is why I concern about Adidas which continually launched several artistic projects with artists in recent years.

Can I ask you guys do me a favor- fill in a questionnaire about adidas? (Please see the attachement) The purpose of this questionnaire is to find out how consumers perceive the collaborative projects between sportswear brand and visual artists.

Your help is really appreciated！

           

I really like these!

But im a fan of both orange and black..

I wear my halloweens all the time

OK, so a few of you may of got this questionnaire off some guy via pm..

Dont think its dodgy, and some of the questions are interesting..

So if we all answer one each or something we could answer it all and then give him anyway.. dont disclose personal details of course jsut answer the questions

OHHH MY BABYYY





and here's my Lovely GOLDIE

I´ve bought some red crk´s 3 days ago. They should be here tomorrow. Like my dmc´s btw.

My question is: what kind of laces i should put in? 20 mm or 30 mm? and which color should be used? white, light grey like the stripes or red? i have no idea...

[/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=medium][color=#800080]Hello ssdb'ers,
As some of you may know I live in New Orleans.Today the NBA all star stuff kicked off!I went to the convention center to the NBA jam session it is a huge hall filled with basketball courts,games,and all kind of Adidas promotions.

The only shoes that they had there was theose UGLEEE gilbert arenas ts whatevers and you could not buy any of them but you could try them on???They also told me that you could order some stuff at a computer.They told me to go to the "champs" store for all the shoes and stuff it is on Canal St..

I then ran over 8-9 blocks to the sheraton hotel.I got to that store and they had jerseys,jackets,hats,etc. galore-but all the Performance triangle s____!I went over to the shoes and met 2 nice sales people and rapped with them about what they had.

They had a wall of all the limited sneeks of the gilbert arenas with sold out on a few models-I saw the equipment robot's,a bunch of colorful gilberts...so then i went to another wall where they had the few originals that they had about 7 of the NBA americana's the boston celtics and the miami heat look tight the lakers too.The superstar 2g or whatever that I did not like either.

Now while I was standing there a group of 3 guys walk up and we are all looking at the shoes.I noticed one looked really familiar but I could not figure out why.I then went and held the East/West pro models which are cool but do not like the hi-tops the colors are really metalic and cool though.Finally I saw the Gabriel U TS limiteds.They are nice and all I just do not dig the sneaker.The same 3 guys then walk up and one of em' says ,"there is your shoe Gabe"I then go bam!I knew you looked familiar and the workers and adidas rep did not realize that it was actually him!He was really cool and friendly he also showed all of us how Adidas spelled his name wrong on the shoe too!!!!!

I asked him to pose for a picture holding the shoe and he did it.He asked about some N'Awlins stuff and we all laughed-He did not seem to happy about the finished shoe and the Adidas rep pointed out that he was wearing New Balance and Gabe gave him a look like,"bitch puh-leez'(a cold stare,a blank stare of..and your point is?)

I talked with the rep awhile he explained to me that they are really happy that the gilbert arenas ts whatever's are taking off and they are pleased with it.ahe also showed me a new line of equipment's that are like the robot one's but they are in crazy colorways and the are foe NBA teams,(i.e. chicago,la,etc.)not that great looking.

The rep asked me if we have any sneaker boutiques here?He said they do hope to move a lot of this stuff this weekend and I was like good luck.I left really bummed no originals except the pro model!?!

Vegas had the stan smith's,soop's for tim duncan,gilbert,etc.croc skin and we get the east,west promodel.Not even the Kevin Garnett Pro model!

So I then went to footlocker,sheesh man SWOOSH mania man the swoosh rep's had taken over the store there was limited AF1's all over the place even a New Orleans Colorway they ranged in price from 90 bucks to 225.oo USD.They had no new soop's but N.O is a swoosh city yah' know.

I will go back tommorow and take pictures of all the shoes for yall to see.I am really bummed that they did not have at least 1 pair of superstars to celebrate the all star game here but oh well Adida spays a lot of money to people who made that call so what do I know.

At least I did get me a pair of Superskates lavander's yesterday.I could not believe I could not find anything to buy!

listen Anybody, how can I get a pair of the consortium's blue/red superskates I really need that shoe sooooo badddd!!!!!

Got some Scotchlite tape off the bay last week so I decided to make some new stripes for my BK5's. Turned out pretty sweet I reckon.
