Three Unexpected Facts About The Adidas OZWEEGO

Of course, as a sneakerhead, you're familiar with the Adidas OZWEEGO and its design. (If you don't already know, you will after reading this post.) But do you also know its background, distinguishing characteristics, and significance?

Here are 3 surprising facts about the Adidas OZWEEGO: 

Fact 1: The Adidas Ozweego was launched in 1996 and disappeared again in 2000

The Ozweego, which was introduced in 1996 as a lightweight running shoe and already had the 'adiPRENE cushioning' incorporated into the forefoot, is seen here.

This will be used in the Ozweego 2, 3, and 4 versions. The top of the Ozweego 2 from 1997 was changed.

The most significant alteration, however, occurred with the Ozweego 3 in 1998, when the renowned torsion in the midsole was first noticed.

Fact 2: Today's adidas Ozweego is based on the 1998 Ozweego 3

The 1998 Ozweego 3 in the photo is clearly the direct descendant of today's model (today's models? see below).

The nearly disorganized sole, the 'adiPrene technology,' and the still-used mesh and suede materials have all made way into the current iteration.

Of course, the 2020 model is even more sophisticated, combining traditional components with current advancements in ergonomics and wearing comfort.

Fact 3: Raf Simons is considered the inventor of the 'chunky sneaker' or 'ugly sneaker' with his Ozweego 3 version

Raf Simons sparked the flame that will burn brightly in 2018. Raf Simons is credited with inventing the 'chunky' or 'ugly' shoe with the adidas Ozweego 3.

As a result, it's frequently linked to the Balenciaga Triple S and Yeezy 700, both of which were launched later yet are far more popular.

Since 2013, Raf Simons has been releasing new colorways and variants.

This Nike Waffle One Is Inspired By The Air Max 1 "Curry"

Image
The Waffle One is without a doubt one of Nike's most innovative new designs, bridging the gap between vintage and current style. The shoe's second appearance will feature a color scheme inspired by the popular Air Max 1 "Curry." The colorway bears a lot of parallels to the aforementioned, albeit it isn't quite uncanny in its likeness. To begin with, the color combination of "Cider" and "Twine" closely matches the food-inspired hue; they're even balanced out in a similar way, with white and its creamier offshoots adorning the Swoosh and sole adjacent. Furthermore, there is a hint of blue on the upper, though it is much more subdued here. This Curry-inspired Nike Waffle One gets an official look right here. Within the next few months, sizes should be available on Nike.com and at select stores. Nike Waffle One "Curry" Release Date: 2022 Color: Cider/Twine-Lemon Drop-Light Bone-Game Royal-Pollen Mens: $120 Style Code: DO2380-200

Bootleg Bapestas Are Back From Bape And Reebok

Image
Isn't there such a thing as too much of a good thing? The two are back in action with a new set of collaborative Reebok designs, picking up where last year's collaboration left off. They are two well-worn BAPE models, so there's not much new ground being broken here, but these are among of the cleanest colours the pair has done to date. BAPE and Reebok's latest low-top, like the previous Club C, has the iconic star on the medial side and "BAPESTA" branding on the heel, making it a good alternative to the chunkier OG original. It's a little amusing to see a shoe inspired by the AF1 given new life atop one of Reebok's court shapes, but it's a better appearance for the all-white design, shaping up to be a little cleaner than a traditional pair. A new Instapump Fury has arrived. It's no surprise that BAPE is bringing back the bulky runner, which has been a perennial best-seller in Japan. It's also no surprise that the sneaker comes in three dif...

It Doesn't Get Any Sweeter Than This For The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate"

Image
Since its comeback in the shoe business, the Nike Dunk has had a plethora of colorways. Sneakerheads all over the world have enjoyed a variety of colorways with themed features over the last two years, some in commemorative designs and others that are just plain simple and lovely. And while we're on the subject of sweets, the Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" just dropped, and a closer look at the shoe reveals that it can't be any sweeter than it already is! The iteration has a high-top profile, which gives the heels and ankles more support. Unlike its "Light Chocolate Sail" counterpart from last year, which had milky hues, this premium leather rendition has darker brown tones. The shoelaces, Nike Swoosh emblems on the lateral and medial sides, and the full-length midsole underfoot, all of which are in a pure white gradient, are the only pieces that add a flash of contrast to this delicious configuration. The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" is an absolute must...
