Sneakers of Mine : Adidas Jabbar Hi

HISTORY:Before there was Michael Jordan there was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the 7'2", six-time MVP winner from New York City. The Adidas Jabbar was first released in 1971 as a signature baskeball shoe and was inspired by Kareem Abdul Jabbar and his trademark "sky-hook" shot. The Jabbar shoe was a signature shoe in the days before signature shoe lines and for a time was the shoe to have. The Adidas Jabbar, however, has never really become a mainstream fashion item, however, for collectors an original Adidas Jabbar in deadstock condition will cost approximately $1,000 and a later model or reissue often runs as much as $200 a pair. The Adidas Jabbar basketball shoes with the classic, simple design feature a graphic of Kareem on the tongue, full leather upper, and suede toe bumper.
Really comfy and light,'70s original old school appeal with suede round toe and yellowish rubber sole.
I got this pair in April 2005 .I paid only £70 for them..a bargain!!!!!!!!

Sneakers of Mine : Adidas Stan Smith


HISTORY:The Adidas Stan Smith was introduced in 1965 as the first all leather tennis shoe. The earliest version was produced in cooperation with and endorsed by French tennis player, Robert Haillet. This first version had a thick outsole and lacked the Adidas trefoil logo on the heel. In the mid-1960's, an up and coming tennis phenomenon came to the attention of Adidas, and the shoes were renamed in 1971 after Stan Smith, a tennis marvel legend from Pasadena who won seven Davis Cup victories, 39 singles titles and 61 doubles crowns in his career. His shoes, the Adidas Stan Smiths, are one of Adidas best-selling shoes of all time with over 30 million pairs sold. Because the shoe has remained a top seller, Adidas added an updated “Stan Smith Millennium” to its label. This updated legend is a soft, full-grain leather shoe with non-slip collar lining and non-marking, rubber outsole.
This nice pair of all white Stan Smith were my last birthday gift from my dad wich was not sure between a pair of sneaks or a lollypop..just kidding.
They are all white with english green trefoil logo and a really summer appeal lining with parrots and passion fruits.
TIPS: no many tips,confy round toe quite fresh during the boiling summer

Sneakers of Mine : Adidas Superstar

HISTORY: The Adidas Superstar was introduced in 1969 as the first low-top basketball shoe to feature an all-leather upper and the now famous rubber shell toe.
NBA players were wearing the shell toe shoes by the mid 70's and Adidas Superstar hasn't lost its popularity since then.
The Superstar is a retro basketball style shoe perfect for a fashion statement and everyday casual wear with its all leather upper and seasonal colors.
I was looking for a pair of white and yellow sneakers and I found them in a small shop near my place, it was a bargain 20£!
Are quite funky,great for the city.
TIPS: Consider a half size larger than your normal shoe size
