If you can't decide between the sporty look of [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-y3) and the rocker look of [Diesel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dieseloveslee), you're in luck. Combining both sport and edge, 'The Colliding Worlds Part II' has launched from adidas Originals and Diesel (Part I was launched earlier this year).

The Colliding Worlds Part II line features a colleciton of six new limited edition sneakers, including Forum Mid Leather Jacket, Centennial Mid, ZX 700 Pojak, ZX 700 Wheat, Stan Smith Mid Thread and Stan Smith Treated. Each shoe represents the adidas and Diesel brands in spirit, personality and attitude. For example, the models combine workwear and sporty elements with military looks, hiking details and punk infusions, such as checks, studs zips, making for cool combos that definitely merge the identities of both brands (you really can get the best of both worlds!).
