So Jamie O'Shea from (former) Juxtapose Magazine / (current) Supertouch fame invited me up to the Nike Campus in Portland Oregon to be exposed to Nike culture and other things I can't discuss in detail. Jamie and I then met with Nike President Mark Parker... chatted for about 45 minutes and showed him my work/process. We talked about an array of things... including the co-lab between Nike and Marc Newson... the Nike Zvezdochka, an edition of 140 pairs of shoes, inspired by looking at pictures of astronauts who jumped with special socks on the walls of their space ships for exercise. The name Zvezdochka was inspired by the fifth Russian dog in space. Anyway... Fedex buzzed by the studio today with a package from Mark Parker. He sent me a pair of the shoes (black shells), and 8 pairs of colored replacement socks. Hooked up ! See you in outer space !

Bounce technology turns every last bit of energy into momentum to enable longer workouts with more fun and less effort. The Ambition PB features new two-stage Bounce structures combining stability frames with elastic center bars in a second colorway. This energized cushioning system is built full length into the shoe plate as requested by Jeremy Wariner, a true fan of this unique footwear technology.
The Ambition PB colorway features a black lycra upper with Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) detailing strips to complement the Techfit apparel worn by Jeremy Wariner both in competition and training. The metallic three stripes reflect the Texan’s signature accessory, his sunglasses. A vibrant red line runs through the centre bars of the Ambition PB and on to the outsole which is made from adiWEAR®, a durable and non marking rubber designed to resist against wear and tear.
Jeremy Wariner says, “I’ve been using Bounce technology for over 2 years now and find it provides me with the best possible energy return and cushioning during my training sessions. Ambition PB takes Bounce to a new level. The black, red and metallic colorway is really exciting and audacious. I’m looking forward to wearing these both on and off the track this Fall.”
Ambition PB is currently available from adidas Sport Performance stores and select retailers worldwide at a recommended retail price of $130. It is also available online at www.autobotshop.com Special thanks to Lyn Famiglietti, adidas communications. ![]() DUNK SB "stands for DUNK LOW (HI) PRO SB.

Air force series-forever myth
Retro is a big project and is inseparable with trends. The trend is ever-changing. Today's stuff may be obsolete tomorrow, and things of the past may be popular again today. History is such a tortuous back and forth forward.
NIKE AIR FORCE 1, is neither the most acclaimed paid of shoes in the history, nor is today's most popular sneaker, but as an essential retro model, to understand the NIKE AIR FORCE 1 is one of the most basic course.
AIR FORCE 1, produced in 1983, is the first NIKE basketball shoes which have air sole technology. And it was the year's flagship product at that year..
Porsche Design and Adidas gear up for the WinterWritten by Administrator Monday, 01 February 2010 18:22Porsche is known to have some of the best engineers in the business, constantly churning out new technologies for their vehicles. But, as we've often said – irking Porschephile commenters in the process – their designers always seem to be focusing on something else, which could go a long way towards explaining why every successive 911 iteration looks largely the same as the one it replaces. So, what is Porsche Design so busy with? Why, apparel, of course! Now we know that Porsche Design is not the same group of designers responsible for the cars, but it sure gets you thinking when the merchandising division comes up with new designs faster than the car folks. Case in point: the latest Adidas collection from Porsche Design, marking four years of collaboration with Adidas. With the fashion industry already gearing up for the Fall/Winter seasons, Adidas and Porsche have come out with their latest cold-weather gear. Among the items in the new collection are the Primaloft stuffed vest, messenger bag, Tennis shoes, driving shoes and jump rope shown above – perfect for the dash from your Cayenne into the gym. Press release after the jump.

However, with the recent release of Adidas latest basketball sneaker, the TS Bounce Commander, expect to see the three towers switch it up for once. The major difference between the original Commander and the Bounce Commander is found in the performance of the shoe.

As far as the outer design of the sneaker, each players sneaker features the colorway of his respective team. Click the jump to view detailed photos of each sneaker.
