ÿþletter  J' take on the adidas ZX 500 is Adidas beckenbauer a deceptively simple design with functional and subtle additions that build on the simple upper perfectly alongside some more eyecatching touches. The hexagonal detail goes beyond the low-key detailing on the upper, with a honeycombed rip stop style material, red ghilly lacestays, a heel pattern that carries a thorn print to reflect the Compound Gallery's focus on art. Reflective material sits alongside black denim, with the decision to add Dellinger Web technology to the midsole. Completed with patterned laces and an aerial view on the footbed, performance meets creativity, head-on.

The blue heeltab is accompanied by the recognisable wordless Colette logo on the rear, and more conventional gold lettering reveals both collaborator and shoe name. Red and blue top metal eyelets reinforce the colour picks, while the innocuous looking white mid and outsole conceals the final surprise  a transparent section Adidas boston of hexagons, that reveals a matching pattern beneath. More Gallic flair that rewards close inspection without alienating those adverse to excess fuss.City Series pieces like the adidas London have a place in the Brit shoe-psyche, and with such a bare-bones, slender and simple design  unlined red suede with Adidas bounce leather 3-Stripes, blank heel and lacestays, there's a sense that the shoe's purpose is lost if it gets too fussy or bolstered.

Red, white and black was the original palette, and all three are present here, with the addition of yellow on the outsole, ghilly top lacing and tongue branding. Black ripstop makes up the majority of the upper, while premium leather forefoot and heel panels offer extra resilience. A grey padded lining means everyday comfort, and the choice to twin a white midsole with a predominantly white outsole alters the aesthetic of the shoe entirely, allowing a far chunkier feel. A Adidas basketball choice of rounded laces match the yellow, red and black, with a plastic fastening system that caps the hardwearing no-nonsense look and feel perfectly.

We're a bit surprised that a performance basketball model like the adidas Crazy Explosive Low is included in this coming "Day One" Pack, but we're definitely feeling the overall overhaul thanks to the ever-comfortable Boost midsole unit paired with sand-colored suede, smoky TPU heel overlays, and an asymmetrical forefoot for a clean look. Each adidas Consortium Crazy Explosive Low will be available on Wednesday, April 12th from select shops like Packer Shoes and on .

adidas Consortium aims to bring luxurious vibes to the hardwood with the coming "Day One" Collection featuring the adidas Crazy Explosive Low and the adidas Crazy Team, each featuring unique arrays of suedes in tonal beige, olive, and black that makes each offering as easy to wear off-the-court as it is to wear on it. Today we get another look at the adidas Consortium Day One Pack featuring the Crazy Team 2017 model, one of the entry level hoops silhouettes from the three stripes featuring a mid-top construction, an exaggerated heel counter and an Adiprene lining for extra comfort.
