A guiding principle during Bjorn Gulden’s time as CEO of adidas has been to refocus the company’s initiatives around sports.

As we look towards 2024, the interpretation of this concept has become increasingly comprehensive, making the collaboration between the Three Stripes and the e-sports team 100 Thieves a perfect embodiment of this commitment. Following an apparel collection launched earlier this year, the two have come together once again to unveil a new footwear style.

Named after the hometown of founder Nadeshot, the Palos Hills arrives in striking red-on-black and black-on-red color variations that pay homage to the brand’s iconic aesthetics. While adidas describes the model as a fresh take on a classic silhouette from its archives, further details remain scarce, leaving enthusiasts to analyze it solely from the visuals released.

With both brands utilizing a gum sole, the shoe’s underfoot design brings to mind the adidas Samba, characterized by the triangular foxing that connects it to the upper. However, the absence of a mudguard or T-toe at the front gives this model a unique position within the Three Stripes lifestyle range, further highlighted by the diagonal heel counter at the back.

Despite this, the collaborative nature of each version contributes to its distinct appeal, complemented by details such as the brand’s logo stitched into the tongue, alongside the Trefoil on the heel, and accentuated by contrasting metallic dubraes.

The 100 Thieves x adidas Palos Hills will be available in two colorways for $130 each, initially launching on 100Thieves.com on November 2nd, followed by a broader release from adidas on November 6th. Preview the official images below to prepare for the release.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
