Redman, born as Reginald “Reggie” Noble, is an iconic figure in the American rap scene, and adidas has decided to honor the rap legend with his own colorway of the Superstar II. This colorway hosts a red suede upper accented by an orange midsole stripe, three black stripes, a white toebox, black inner lining, and a white midsole. A couple other key aspects of this Superstar II include the image of Redman on the tongue, Redman inscribed into the heel, as well as “Funk Doc” on the rear. The “Redman” adidas Superstar II is now available at select retailers.

Earlier this summer we showed you some shots of the adidas Originals OT Tech Tokyo Low in a “bred” colorway. We now have pictures of a blue colorway applied to the same sneaker model. Like the first pair, this pair also has Gore-Tex lining to help your feet stay as dry as possible. A mix of different blue tones cover the upper, which sits on a grey sole that also sports two different tones of blue. A part of the adidas Originals Fall/Winter 2009 lineup, expect these OT Tech Tokyo Low’s to pop up in select adidas retailers rather soon.

DJ Denis Iderman and Skateboarder Ray Mate have worked on reflecting the New York urban scene through its Mighty Healthy clothing line since 2004. Last year, a collaboration between them and both DVS and Huf resulted in a Huf 5 Runner. Now, Mighty Healthy is back at it- this time teaming up with the ever-busy adidas brand. The adidas Performance line meets Mighty Healthy’s street savvy to come up with two shoes. The first is the Street Jam in an olive green and orange colorway with lace covers/straps. The second shoe is the Lux in an off white and maroon colorway. Both shoes sport a Mighty Healthy knife-through-apple logo on the tongue and are expected to drop in the spring of 2010, at which point you can check in with your local adidas and Mighty Healthy retailers to see if they’ll be able to have you covered with this drop.

Starting Tuesday, September 15th of this year, the 55DSL brand will hijack a Diesel store in a different city every day for fifteen days and make this XV/55 shoe available along with other products from its next collection. Cities include San Fracisco, L.A., Beantown, Chitown, ATL, Miami, Vegas, and- of course- NY.
