Adidas Adimatic

 
The Adidas ADIMATIC, the sneaker originally developed specifically for skateboarding, launched in 1996, is back in various colourways online. And after partnering with Jamal Smith in May 2022, the model has a special appeal to Human Made, one of the longest running members of the Three Stripes family. 

Created by none other than NIGO, the legendary originator of A BATHING APE, Human Made has collaborated with Adidas on several occasions in the past, introducing their fresh, playful slogans and strong colour appeal to traditional releases such as the Superstar, Rivalry, Campus, and many others.

Much of the vigour expressed above for rather bright colours is somewhat lessened for these three ADIMATIC iterations, whose colour schemes are mainly composed of muted colours.

However, there is an orange accent on one specific pair, which is applied to the suede mudguard. A creation plastered with "Off White" and "Core Black" panels. While others prefer a militaristic wrapping crossed with "Dust Green".

And, despite their stylistic discrepancies, each of the three embrace similar branding: indeed, imposing stripes wrap the two sides of heart-shaped inserts, while the Japanese streetwear brand's mythical signature logo is affixed to the embroidered and screen-printed heel and insole area, respectively.

As mentioned above, Adidas did not deviate from this and in 1996, the Bavarian company developed a version specifically designed for skateboarding. This model, designed by Mark Gonzales aka Gonz, an American skater and artist, was named Adimatic. Despite the infatuation of the skateboarding world for the model, it was nevertheless withdrawn from the shop windows for many years.

 
However, the renowned brand Adidas is preparing to give a new lease of life to the famous Adimatic, which has been on the market for over 30 years. It has been announced that the sneaker, which was worn by Thierry Gormit in the GZONZE World, will be back with a vengeance in various colours, including an OG "Green" and a "Core Black".
 
For this much more fashionable version, the Adidas Adimatic is made from recycled materials, all of which have been collected from production waste.
 
The Adimatic trainer features a suede upper with a three stripe logo on both sides. The latter is set against an imposing white outsole that creates a nice contrast.
 
The adidas Adimatic will be released in the coming weeks. Vans is continuing to revive the theme by unveiling the Half Cab 92′ to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this iconic model.
 

 
The renowned Japanese boutique Atmos has an extraordinary history of collaborations. Whether it is to present some of the most coveted sneakers of all time or to give a modern twist to various classic models, the global retailer keeps putting its signature on shoes every year. This has resulted in collaborative designs with Reebok, HOKA, ASICS and of course Adidas. Among others, Atmos and Adidas Originals have decided to reopen ATAD, their collaborative sales space.

Atmos and Adidas Originals continue their partnership by developing an innovative design on the Adidas ADIMATIC. Making its comeback in 2022, the ADIMATIC will be offered in an OG style collection. And to top it all off, Atmos and Adidas Originals are bringing back the vintage brown Adidas shoeboxes with the ADIMATIC's OG Shoebox shade.
 
While the Adimatic shoeboxes are reproductions, the trainer's co-branded insole offers illustrations found on the original boxes. The shoe's iconic three super-thick stripes are applied in black, while a golden brown suede insert wraps around the rest of the upper.
 

 
Renowned Japanese designer Nigo is back in the spotlight with a brand new Human Made x adidas Adimatic "Dust Green". Dressed in an autumnal design, this adidas Adimatic comes in a suede upper in a warm olive green colour. There are also cleverly layered inserts in brown hues and various touches of off-white suede on the three side stripes. Human Made branding is applied to the insoles and the back of the heels, and the lacing is adorned with thick laces. The entire sneaker sits comfortably on a vintage-style sole. Good to know: This adidas Adimatic is also available in Grey Three and Off White.

Following on from the Dust Green and Grey Three colourways, the successful young Japanese designer continues to innovate with the new Off White version. This time, the skateshoe is wrapped in an off-white suede upper, which is enhanced by a contrasting orange suede mudguard.
The various black accents are specifically placed on the three side stripes and on the TPU heel reinforcement at the back. The Human Made brandings on the insoles and heels, fat laces, nicely intertwine the Adimatic sneaker, which sits comfortably on a white sole. A sober and elegant "Off White" sneaker that reflects the creativity of the Japanese designer Nigo.
