END. and adidas Originals continue their successful partnership by diving into the world of fly fishing with their latest collection. Embracing the sport’s rich heritage and the rising trend among Millennials and Gen-Z, the END. x adidas Originals “Fly Fishing” collection invites a new generation to unplug from the social media world and reconnect with nature.

Drawing inspiration from the ancient fishing technique, the British retailer and sportswear giant present a head-to-toe ensemble that marries functionality with contemporary casual style. The collection, highlighted by UK rapper Big Zuu, pays homage to the joy and tradition of fly fishing, blending classic angling attire with modern aesthetics.

At the heart of this collection are two footwear silhouettes that seamlessly blend functionality with contemporary style as the Three Stripes and the retailer bring the adidas Tobacco and the adidas Mocaturf into the fold.

The adidas Tobacco ($125), a classic from the early ’70s, is reimagined in Wild Pine and Ecru Tint, inspired by the UK’s native trout. These sneakers offer a nostalgic nod to adidas’ heritage while introducing earthy tones perfect for any casual outfit.

Additionally, the adidas Mocaturf ($160) features a moccasin-inspired upper stitched with the Three Stripes mimicking fishing lures. Available in Wild Tint and Sand, the Mocaturf captures the essence of nature, geology, and traditional craftsmanship. The bespoke graphics on the tongues further enhance the fly fishing aesthetic.

In addition to the footwear, the collection also includes a range of apparel engineered for fishing with the versatility to be worn on a casual day out. Key pieces include cargo pants, fishing vests, and bucket hats, all crafted in earthy tones reminiscent of riverside scenery and popular catches like trout and bass. The collection features unique graphics, with cartoon-style fish nestled between the adidas and END. logos, evoking vintage tackle packaging.

The END. x adidas Originals “Fly Fishing” releases on May 31, 2024, via END. Launches.

    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!
