The first drop of Adidas Consortium for 2010 sees the introduction of two series. The first is brand new for SS10 and is based on classic running silhouettes in the colourways that made other Adidas styles so famous. Part one of the Runners pack features an outdoors inspired Torsion Special, with some of the best finishing we have seen in ages, and a hotly anticipated ZX8000, reworked in the OG EQT B-Ball colourway of white, grey and green. Both – as you would expect from Consortium – use the best materials and are packed with neat detail.

The second pack is a continuation from AW09, with the Rod Laver once again reworked by Consortium partners. Representing the US, Undefeated have another go at redesigning the shoe, once again to great effect.

The three styles launch on Friday 22nd January…
