Unfortunetly at the time the only solid intel present was that the shoe would NOT see a stateside release. That info isn’t going anywhere. There were a few inquiries about colorways & styles, and with that, the specifics are after the jump.

Firstly this collaboration is a pack consisting of the Clarks Desert Boot (below) and the crowd fave, The Wallabee. What sets things off is the combination of  Clarks Suede upper and Loopwheeler’s signature gray fleece. This equals a two tone colorway, with the fleece combined with Black, Brown, or Blue.

The Desert Boot is a little more modest and the bright white threading might throw some off. Otherwise for the Desert Boot Lifers, this might be the one to beat. Pre-order are now taking place through LW for a mid-September 2011 delivery.

The Adidas Campus, Samoa, and Samba still rock as hard as they did upon original release. But the smooth talker in the family would have to be The Gazelle. adidas-spring-2011-gazelle-vintage01 adidas-spring-2011-gazelle-vintage02 adidas-spring-2011-gazelle-vintage03 adidas-spring-2011-gazelle-vintage04 adidas-spring-2011-gazelle-vintage06Introduced in 1968, the multi purpose trainer has always been a favorite of UK soccer… or football fans. Most likely due to the large selection of colorways. The Gazelle may not be the first round draft pick of the moment, and that’s cool it doesn’t need to be. Providing the option to be worn with a crisp pair of jeans or a sharp suit, this Adidas style is like the Gucci Loafer in any sneaker collection.“And even though Adidas may not be the current major player in world trainer marketplace, you need to bear the old saying ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ firmly in mind.” ~ Neil HarveyLook out for the original Gazelle colorways at select retailers early spring.]]> http://www.freshlyserious.com/2011/01/19/vintage-gazelle-adidas-spring-2011/feed/ 0 No roads to Kingston.
