Adidas matching kicks and 80’s video game

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Adidas recently released the adiGames ZX 500 where the upper portion of the shoe is primarily black patent leather with the exception of the signature Adidas stripes and the midsole. The midsole is made up of a vintage bright blue, green, and red to give it that old school video game feel. To partner the release of the adiGames ZX 500, Adidas has also created the video game “ZX Runner” which included in the packaging of the sneakers. The game is, of course 80’s style where you play the role of DJ Zed and he tries to tries to get to his midnight set on time. We love how Adidas has allowed us to travel back to the 80’s virtually and with our fashion all in one purchase!

HUPBOX or shoe box?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

HUPBOX has announced its new, clear shoebox to store your favorite sneakers. The clear design is meant to provide quick and easy access to your sneakers and can be purchased at http://www.HUPBOX.com/ At Addicted Culture, we understand the convenience that the HUPBOX is trying to offer, but at $40 a box we wonder if sneaker fans will be willing to ditch their original packaging for the sake of organization?

Later this year, Converse will release a new version of their Chuck Taylor shoe. The images released so far of the new “Chuck Taylor Cup”, show the bold new look to the classic style, including an updated sole. The shoe will be released in both the low and high top versions. The new, contemporary look could possibly draw new fans to the iconic shoe.

New Burton board for sale (well not really a sale)

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Burton released a new snowboard for the 2010 season with a graphic based on a collaborative Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat piece. The board boasts NASA quality enhancements and “brings the best out of anyone who gets on it” (burton.com). And though we LOVE the design and assume its technology makes it a smooth ride, the hefty price tag of $1,200 makes us want to either hang it on the wall or just leave it for the pros.

Board decor

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

The guys at Skate Study House have been able to create fun and innovative furniture with the use of recycled skateboard materials. They have designed lounge chairs, tables and hanging hooks with boards, wheels, and bearings. Based out of Newport Beach, all pieces are made in California and are second hand objects combined with custom parts. We love that the Skate Study House will allow us to bring skateboarding into the home decor…and not just in a college dorm room look sort of way, all while being environmentally friendly! Check out some of our favorite pieces:
