Assignment: Kobe

2000 | 10 | 01

There is a new website up that is sort of a spy themed commercial for Kobe Bryant and his new shoe. There are different episodes that will be released over time. The first one is up. Go check it out at www.assignmentkobe.com.

Time to interact

2000 | 09 | 29

I've wanted to do this for a long time and that time is here. Sadida.com now has a message board. Finally you can post messages about products you are looking for and questions you may have for school projects. That way, if I don't know the answer, maybe someone else will. But the board isn't just for questions. Feel free to talk about anything adidas related you want to.

There still may be some bugs to work out so please mail me if you find a problem. Also, the look of the board may change over time, so don't be surprised when that happens.

Go to the message board.

Review of "The Kobe"

2000 | 09 | 25

I know that some of you are probably tired of me posting information about Kobe Bryant's new shoe, but I happen to like it, so here is some more info :)

Kicksology.net wrote me to tell me about their review of "The Kobe". It seems that they review basketball shoes and this is the first non-Nike shoe they have reviewed. There are a bunch of new pictures and the review is very complete. They seem to like it, so go check out the review.

My favorite part of the article goes like this...

Call me a heretic, call me blasphemous, call me crazy, call me Ishmael, but I'm calling The Kobe a better hoops shoe than anything available from Jordan Brand today.

More info on "The Kobe"

Larry wrote in to tell me about the new area on the German adidas site detailing Kobe Bryant's new shoe, "The Kobe". Unfortunately, for those who don't speak it, the site is all in German. There is lots of cool stuff there. It shows how the shoe was designed with a car in mind and even some concept pics. Also, here is a link to a site that has a nifty 3d presentation of the new shoe and the capability to BUY IT. Larry brings up a good point:
I still haven't figured out why Germany is getting his shoe before we do.
The "we" here being the US. The US is where Kobe plays. It would make sense that the shoe would get sold here first or at least at the same time. I can't figure it out either. Anyone have an answer?
Update:
An english translation of the kobe site can be found at Larry's website.

Martial Arts Shoes

2000 | 09 | 12

Sports Illustrated recently issued their guide to the Sydney Olympics. It had all sorts of articles on the upcoming Olympic games. In it was a two page spread on the US Martial Arts team. I happened to notice that they were all wearing adidas gear. I did some looking and found a site that sells adidas martial arts equipment. You can find them here.

And speaking of the US Olympic team. Adidas is the official outfitter for 5 US Olympic sports.

  • Boxing
  • Fencing
  • Gymnastics
  • Volleyball
  • Weight Lifting
Does adidas sponsor any teams in the country you live in? Please let me know if they do so I can share that information with everyone else.

Rarely Seen Shoes for Sale

2000 | 09 | 06

Hpk wrote me to tell me about a site that sells lots of hard to find adidas shoes. They even have the Tahiti and the Tobacco. Sorry, I don't read Japanese, so I can't help you with translating the site. You can find the site here.

Music Section Updated

2000 | 09 | 04



The adidas and music section has been updated. It now includes pics of Jennifer Lopez, The Beastie Boys, Bob Marley, Underworld, and Shirley Manson. Do you have any pics of your favorite music artist wearing adidas products? If so, mail it in and I'll post it.

New Wallpaper

2000 | 08 | 28

September wallpaper is up. This month is a tribute to Korn when they were into adidas. Korn used to sport adidas quite extensively. Their lead singer was known to wear a sequined adidas jumpsuit [ pic 1 ] [ pic 2 ] on many an occasion. Korn even released a single entitled A.D.I.D.A.S. which, in the song, stands for "All Day I Dream About Sex". Many people believe that this is what adidas secretly stands for, but this is not true. For the story behind the name, check the FAQ page.

It seems that Korn has moved on to puma now. They supposedly received a large sponsorship contract from puma and left adidas in the dust.
Check the music page for another Korn pic.
