Happy Socks creative director Viktor Tell’s adidas Originals Matchplay utilizes a simple white canvas upper so its bright accents and detailed backstory can shine through, but will you still pick them after you’ve seen the other four collabo designs? Shaniqua Jarvis’ ZX 500, Stefan Glerum’s Decade Hi, Kara Messina’s Pro Shell and Three Stripes’ own Baltic Cup will arrive at noon EST on Saturday, June 16th at SNS and you can see shots of each pair after the jump below.

‘Consortium’ is part of an exclusive set of sneaker lifestyle verbage that sparks an immediate heightening of the senses. Expectations from such an honored label are always high, and the ‘Tabula Rasa’ Collection of late 2011 was a prime example of how the adidas Consortium series can present even the most basic of colorways as a newly minted work of art. To celebrate the 2012 London Olympics, adidas Originals presents the adidas Consortium ‘Your Story’, which features the five adidas Originals models painted in unique storytelling combinations inspired by the Olympic memories of nine hand-selected partners. Below is a complete gallery of the Collection depicting the ‘before’ and ‘after’ concept, arranged in one of the most impressive layouts we’ve ever seen – period.
