The Star Wars collection was not well received. In my visits to stores I’ve found both the Princess Leia and Yoda on sale at over 50% off SRP. While adidas has corrected their momentum with some of their newer releases like the Toy Story, the brand should definitely consider their collaborative efforts a bit more…
In the turbulent times of 2020, everyone seems to be looking for a way to protest or speak out; whether it be for equality, representation or justice.

Source: https://www.adidas.com/us/donovan_mitchell One of the best things about how sneaker stores used to look, used to be the visual merchandising. Before I even understood the power of the visuals placed around merchandise in a store, before I understood the power of print magazine ads featuring Chauncey, Tim Duncan, and T-Mac, as a head coach, I…
The Pharrell adidas line has more traction on the international market than on the North American market. At one point, a Pharrell HU meant an immediate sell out for adidas. Starting with the Tennis HU, Pharrell’s releases have sat on shelves and become discount models. The Tennis HU was a 100 dollar shoe that dropped…
