When Porter Meets Adidas












Adidas originals have released a series of exclusive kicks under the title "the five-two-3 pack", Adidas have collaborated with five different brands, each brand will design an Adidas original. One of the collaborators is the Japanese brand called Porter.


Porter are well known in Asia for making different types of luggage but for me their core-competence is their production of bags. They have taken the idea of their tanker-series bags which has been around since 1983 and applied this to the Adidas Nizza Hi's.
Parallel to the tanker-series bags Porter have applied flight satin, otherwise known as nylon to the kicks with an orange lining to fully replicate the image of the tanker-series. To further emphasise this collaboration Porter have included a fully functioning zip at the rear of the shoe. Both brands logo's can be found on the tounge as a sign of generosity, Porter have also included a free tote bag to accommodate these one aways!




They will cost you just under £100.
