In July 2011, Adidas Originals will release a new colorway of one of their classic high-top concepts. The Hardland 'White & Multi' model has multicolored sole pops on a white canvas. It will be sure to turn heads. Using multiple fabrics for the uppers and subtle perforation, the shoe offers an up-to-the-minute aesthetic while still appealing to the retro crowd.
Other top-notch features of the Hardland basketball sneaker include a cut-away lacing system, tongue padding and black heel details. However, it's really the contrast between the all-white uppers and the triangulated, Afro-inspired side pattern which make these Hardlands a must-have.
Perfect for summer, you will not want to get these guys scuffed! The shoes will be available at finer Adidas Originals retailers such as End Clothing.
