Adidas, wanting to distance themselves from the extremely busy (over)design of athletic shoes these days, modelled Kobe Bryant’s new shoe after the Audi TT…with help from the folks at Audi. I don’t like the look of the result, but after walking around in Niketown for 45 minutes last week and not finding a single shoe that appealed to me, I applaud their effort to move away from the conventional approach.
