Last month, we brought you a look at the adidas Consortium City Series, and now we turn our attention to part 2 of the collection, featuring collaborations with four more world-class shops from around the globe. Participating in this round of the City Series will be New York City’s DQM, Milano shop Slam Jam, Kopenhagen’s Norse Projects and as we previewed earlier today, Stockholm retailer SneakersNStuff. Each has put their own unique spin on their respective adidas Consortium model, with their store’s logo found either on the tongue label or the heel to really put their stamp on the project.
