adidas ‘Your Story’ – Consortium SS12
For all the creative art loving sneaker fans, we’ve go a treat for you.
Creative Director of Happy Socks,
Viktor Tell, teams up with adidas
Originals to create his own fun
version of the Matchplay. From the
outside the silhouette looks low
key with its mostly white canvas
upper, but it’s the small glimpses
of detail on the heel tab, ankle
padding and inside the shoe that
tell both the Olympic and Happy
Socks stories.
The Stockholm native took
inspiration from a Swedish air
pistol champion, and this
is achieved along the 3-stripes
with bullet hole inspired dots.
On one of the sockliners is a
Trefoil target marked LUFTPISTOL
(air pistol) and the other features
a lid for bullets. The ankle
padding and underside of the
tongue feature more brightly
coloured dots that make it
characteristically Happy Socks.
Perhaps one of boldest
interpretations for Consortium
SS 12 and one with some
serious attitude is the Pro Shell
by Kara Messina, London designer
and creative director of men’s
streetwear label Y’OH. There’s
a strong synergy with Messina
and the Pro Shell model; each
has carved their own place
in streetwear history.
Most of the upper is made
of engineered fabric with
a traditional African print in
leopard colours, and for Messina
this conjures thoughts of
competitiveness and the multi
cultural presence in both
Olympics and everyday London
life. The print continues through
to the laces and velcro strap, while
the rubber toebox and supersoft
leather heel patch and side panel
tone it down slightly in black.

adidas ‘Your Story’ – Consortium SS12
When adidas Originals brought Consortium back for FW11, the slate was wiped clean giving a fresh start
to the premium range. It also paved the way for the next collection as they invited nine creative partners
to fill in the canvas.
Kate Moross is a London based creative whose love of all things geometric has earned her a solid reputation in the design industry. Her distinctive style has her partnering up adidas Originals to interpret the BC, paying homage to the Olympics in her own graphic way. The predominately grey suede upper features reflective triangles all over, some of them referencing the Olympic colorway, which pop when the light hits the surface. The grey mid sole anchors the look, as do the grey laces, although this version of the BC also comes with a bonus pack containing a selection of bright laces with alternating aglet colors. A bright green fabric loop tag on the heel tab and red one on the tongue featuring Kate Moross’s logo complete this
quirky shoe.
DJ Muro has partnered up with adidas Originals to create a bold and, as he describes it, ‘aggressive’ version of the Pro Shell with its strong and deep color choices of dark green, black and pops of red. Overall, Muro’s Pro Shell is understated, but bursts of detail are found throughout, like the jersey material covering the ankle padding that features engineered stripes reminiscent of a track top’s cuff. Additionally, Muro’s modus operandi, or M.O., can be found on the laces and a snakeskin effect is used on the 3-stripes and unfastening of the Velcro reveals bright colors underneath.
The BC retails for $110 USD, and the Pro Shell for $130 USD. Both styles will be available in-store at our Moreland Avenue shop starting May 19th. Phone orders will be welcome on all styles after 5:00PM EST on the day of the release by calling 404.880.0402 ext #2.
