To date, the adidas Consortium collection’s best work is hands down the utterly breathtaking aZX Project. Considering the lofty heights reached on the wings of collaborating with the world’s best-known sneaker boutiques, it’s unlikely that these releases will usurp the aZX-held throne, but these are certainly worthy additions. The Spring/Summer 2009 adidas Consortium collection incluedes several models we’ve come to know and love, all of which heavily rely upon patterns for texture. From the seizure-inducing zig-zag striped Stan Smiths to the Conductor His that use colourful stripes and midsole for a little pop, this set is certainly interesting to look at. The Micropacers feature a unique overlay comprised of bits of company documents and drawings, while the Metro Attitudes remind us of Nike’s Winter Pack. Though the amazing ZX800s might overshadow the rest of the collection in some minds, these are all ready now at retailers like VA.
