adidas Artillery – Black – Rainbow – May 2011

The adidas Artillery got quite a bit of play early last year with a trio of NBA All-Star 2010 colorways and a collaboration with Slick drawing more attention to this classic basketball shoe than it’d seen since the late-2008 Jeremy Scott designs.  And after another conspicuous absence, the Artillery is back with Three Stripes’ prominent high-contrast color leanings taking hold on the overlay of this otherwise black pair.  This blacklit rainbow motif has the look of a wax etching, their kaleidoscopic effect carrying over to an outsole that looks like you stepped in a checkout aisle’s worth of chewing gum.  Click through to get a better look and pre-order this May 2011 release now from CrookedTongues.
