With the traditional forms nearing saturation, sneaker companies have turned to new animal print interpretations to keep the vibrant trend fresh. We just saw French fashion house Kenzo offer a novel approach in their latest Vans collab, a release that in retrospect, might be more closely related to this Three Stripes trio than was immediately evident. A similar bleeding look comes through on the adidas Consortium Watercolor Animal Print Pack, a wild theme that brings together the adidas Originals Tech Super, Matchplay and Strider for a set that released over the weekend at adidas boutiques in London and Berlin, and is now available at select additional retailers including SNS.

adidas proves there’s still plenty of new ways to interpret nature’s most flattering patterns with a new trio releasing in mid-March. The adidas Watercolor Animal Print (WCAP) pack is exactly what it sounds like, as the adidas Originals Matchplay, Strider and Tech Super are treated to bleed-y spots somewhere between a cheetah and an elementary school art project. Have a closer look at this novel interpretation after the jump so you can let us know which model looks best, and find them available at No.s 6 and 74 as well as Consortium stockists on Saturday, March 16th.

Following a series of Consortium drops in 2012, will the adidas Originals Matchplay return to the regular rotation this year? We would have suspected the answer was yes when a crisp new in-house colorup dropped last August, but having not seen another release since, it’s too close to call. Working in favor of a full-on resurrection is this dope Slub Blue and Running White pattern that puts it in line with plenty of other trendy prints for SP13. Let us know what you think after checking out more images below, then grab yours from select Three Stripes stockists like End.

Before adidas Consortium could really get back to its roots, Three Stripes focused on the essence of five key models that came together in pristine form to create the ‘Tabula Rasa’ collection. Three Stripes brings back these same five for another go-round, and this time they live up to the division’s implied collaboration, further multiplying in the process. adidas Consortium’s ‘Your Story’ Collection now includes at least eight pairs, as Kara Messina’s leopard Pro Shell contrasts DJ Muro’s Gucci-lean, Viktor Tell’s Matchplay raises the bar Jim Thompson set and Shaniqua Jarvis shows Quote how to make not just the stripes on a ZX 500 all blue. Check out the second drop’s first three pairs as well as new shots of a couple pairs we previewed yesterday, let us know which is your favorite and stick with Sneaker News for updates on this pack we expect in stores within the next few weeks. via Sneaker Freaker

adidas Consortium returned last year with the ‘Tabula Rasa’ collection of in-house designs, but let’s not forget that the very meaning of the word that gives this Three Stripes division its name, implies collaboration. 2012 brings the ‘Your Story’ collection to market with five new takes on classic designs slated to hit retailers in mid-May. Included in this set are the adidas Matchplay by Jim Thompson, ZX 500 by Quote, Pro-Shell by DJ Muro, Decade Hi by Aloe Blacc and Baltic Cup one up by Kate Moross (the same models from the Tabula Rasa pack). Check out all five pairs after the jump, let us know which ones you’re most likely to buy and stick with Sneaker News to find out which stores these will hit on May 19th. via FNG

It was just about a week ago that Sneaker News scooped you with word of the impending return of adidas Consortium, and now we have more details on the five-shoe comeback run. The adidas Originals ’Tabula Rasa’ collection takes its aesthetic from the Latin for ‘blank slate’, a look that translates perfectly to the modern language of style with a quintet of tonal White Vapour classics. In addition to their pristine appearance, these silhouettes are some of the lesser seen Three Stripes heritage models, the adidas Originals ZX 500 far and away the most familiar in a group that also includes the BC, Decade, Pro Shell and Matchplay. Have a closer look at each pair of these luxurious suede, nubuck and pigskin designs and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release.
