OBSESSIONS: XVIBE JUICE SNEAKER!

Last month I arrived face-to-face with many pairs of Adidas limited edition inventive delights. VIBE Magazine fêted the sneaker release at Adidas Originals in Soho, New York. To commemorate VIBE’s 15^th year, the authoritative voice for urban content, in conjunction with VIBE ex-staffer, Will Perkins, juiced up Adidas’ Forum Hi XVIBE sneaker. Boasting ostentatious snakeskin and ostrich materials, the show-stoppers are heaven-sent for sneaker collectors.

I was a fan due to: The intricate Greek design motifs traveling across both sneaker sides—onto its fat shoelaces. Another involved element: The inside soles showoff the editor in chief letter copy text from the debut issue. Speaking of one-of-a-kind, only 1,500 styles hit stores on September 25^th! I think encasing or artful displaying works best for the sneaker. The sneaker is too ferocious for walking ground.
