Saville designs Adidas trainer

As part of the Adicolor project Pictures here

Levis, Adidas, what will Saville come up with next? With the new Adidas merchandise, Barney will surely get a kick out of them.

God, they look horrible...

no you don't. trust me.

I thought I was gonna find trainer nirvana then.

minging

The potential for using the PC&L colour codes on the stripes has been sadly ignored... That could've looked cool... What is is with Saville and white at the moment - the Levis were horrible as well...

pure white trainees. very bad idea. just get dirty, unless you only wear them once.

they look shite too.

they ain't no disco. high- top white trainers with a greeny looking sole. wish they'd been Bernard's boat shoes.

Saville has obviously lost the plot. Or just rubbish at designing designer clothing.

And those 12" covers!! A lot of thought went into those!

Anyone smell a "well boys you sold fuck all albums so we're gonna release 12 12's so that we can make some money back, your loyal fanbase will snap them up!"

I'm sure most new order fans collect every 12", I do and have shelled out £50 for these pointless discs. I wouldn't mind so much but the covers are rubbish and some of the mixes are dreadful.

If any other band/label took the piss this much I would have to question my loyalty.

well nobody is forcing you to buy them

Of course I'm not being forced to buy them! That would be ridiculous. I HAVE to buy them because I have the rest! Like I really need another copy of DubVulture!

Absolutely - I won't be because I am pretty apathetic towards remixes - if they rereleased some early stuff on 12" that I only have on MP3 or CD then I'd buy them... If they released more live stuff I wouldn't, as I'm not a great fan of listening to gigs at home... I don't own a NO coaster, fridge magnet, or even T-Shirt... I wouldn't buy a pair of NO trainers, designed by Saville, stitched with Hooky's hair, and with their own FAC number but if the label released a limited edition run of such things, it wouldn't bother me...

I think you made a good move there snorri. I wish i had stopped collecting them ages ago then I wouldn't feel so obliged to have EVERYTHING! Should have stopped when the artwork went downhill!

This is why I stick with Puma.

If you want some real retro s**t, go to Puma.com and pick out something for $65. The chicks always notice Pumas and they'll get you in the sack faster, I swear to God.

Girls love Pumas and so do I.

Bollocks they look like some shitty 80's basketball yankee efforts. You would only ever wear those if you wanted to look like a cock 0 simple

I love that jacket-y thing. The shoes I don't think are so great. Too seafoam green for me. I think it would look like my shoes got some weird mildew attack going on.

The nice thing about the shoes is that it would be the rubber sole that would get dirty, and it's already an off-white/green grass color, so it wouldn't be so noticeable. I've had white adidas shell-toes and in a couple weeks they look scummy.

But that '#1 Shoe' and 'lifestyle - relevance - consumer' writen on it? Too precious. And they are pretty dorky looking.

The top isn't bad though, would look nice on a girl.

I dont think these will be mass production, probably just a limited collector's item available for fifteen minutes in major cities only.

They look Fecking gash..

Maybe he's going for the "Marty Hopkirk" lookhttp://img327.imageshack.us/img327/4000/martyjean7tk.jpg" class="max-w-full" alt="" loading="lazy" />

There's nothing anywhere on the covers that says he had anything at all to do with them. So my guess is that he didn't. The quality of the reproduction and the weight of card used would support this theory. Face it - Saville would have jumped at the chance to do 12 x 12" covers after so long in the cd format wilderness.

White jeans though

I'm waiting for the Adidas Barrymores myself, apparently they've got a red bottom and they're ALWHITE at the back...
