World Cup and Kicks, kicks, kicks

Good day to you and yours!

Another fresh week has kick-started and life’s good. Thanks to the “fresh” (as in cold) weather out there my allergy’s almost gone and I can enjoy my life again. So to all you frowning about the weather I wouldn’t mind if the month ahead was like this. Choy! Touch wood! Well we’ll see.

I’ve been actively watching the World Cup and find this event different to those in the past since this one’s the first World Cup in social media. I mean Twitter, Facebook and everything else only started flourishing after 2006. Well the world cup fever has reached every corner of the world and the sneaker world has reacted. Remember my World Cup edition about fashion brands reacting to the world cup, Martin Ksohoh’s RMC brand is no exception. An interesting collaboration between RMC and apparently FIFA World Cup.

Not a bad design, not at all. Very limited edition too as per my understanding. Another example from the sneaker world is the the soccer inspired AdiCup collection.

The second pick of the week comes from the same brand. Remember the Star Wars Cantina clip I posted some time back? Well some might have noticed an interesting pair of Adidas Originals x Star Wars kicks in the video that kind of looked like a guy wearing two different sneakers.

Well more pictures and details have surfaced about these kicks and what we see in the video is the new Adidas x Star Wars C-3PO + R2-D2 kicks.

The shoes feature the droids on the tongues with mixture of the droids’ colors gold, white, silver and blue colors on the shoes. Rather conspicuous but definitely not a bad looking design. A sure pick for a Star Wars fan.

Plenty of nice Air Jordans have surfaced recently but I want to keep this as an Adidas edition, next one can focus on Jordas.

We’ll be back with more news, updates and random writings later but now I am off to watch a game between Japan and Cameron. You can follow the progress from our Tweets. Gampateh Japan!
