adidas Consortium Your City Drop 2

The idea behind the adidas Consortium "Your City" collection is connecting city branded sneakers with sneaker shops. During the 1970's and 80's adidas created a number of athletic sneakers named after cities from around the globe. Adidas has brought back some of these sneakers with help from a collection of select sneaker shops.

The first drop of the adidas Consortium "Your City" collection included the adidas Trainer L.A. x UNDFTD, the adidas Oslo x Sole Service, the adidas Berlin x Solebox and the adidas Boston Super x Bodega.

Tomorrow, the second drop of the collection is set to release at shops that carry adidas Originals footwear. The second collection includes the adidas Milano x Slam Jam, adidas Stockholm x Sneakers N' Stuff, adidas Kopenhagen x Norse Projects, and adidas New York x Dave's Quality Meats.
