If you were to look at the name of this latest Three Stripes drop and compare it to recent output from adidas Originals, a well-intentioned guess would have you imagining something entirely different. In a sort of ‘What the Land’ move, adidas surprises us with a new design that despite its glancing connection to the vulc-soled Hardland, opts for a different kind of classic basketball bottom. And that’s not all that makes the adidas Blue Hikelander Snow stand out from the pack, this bubble-quilted, nylon and suede design secured with a wildly inventive elastic cord system. This new silo hits the scene in one of the cleanest yet most attention-grabbing red, white and blue sneakers we’ve seen during this Olympic summer offering more of that palette than any other style. adidas once again proves it’s at its best when breaking new ground, and you can see more of the unique Hikelander Snow when you click the jump below. via Sneaker Freaker
