Adidas x Atmos TJ Edition Gets Snakeskin
Till Jagla aka TJ, until recently was the king of adidas sneaker collaborations. He spent a long time as the Three Stripes’ energy manager at the brand’s headquarters, where he dug it out of the archives and pushed for its public release.
The sneakers, which launched on May 14, feature a light grey, cyan blue, pink and black construction. Silver pleated toes are highlighted with gray leather on the sides. Besides the toes, the tongue tags are also made using a similar shiny pleated material.
On the side, the basic Adidas three stripes are added in blue and pink which are like icing on the cake. Next to the stripes are the gray laces. Lace liners, which come with a bright yellow bottom, emphasize Torsion cushioning.
The glossy tabs are also adorned with the pink and blue Adidas Originals monogram. Continuing, the medial sides are covered in blue. The snakeskin textured medial and heel are topped with shiny blue leather. To complete the aesthetic of the sneakers, pink hits are also placed on the heel overlays.
Overall, the cyan secondary color is used to enhance the internal linings, tongue branding, midsoles, and heels.
Black detailing is used to accentuate the dubrae and lace sides, as well as the toe. Finally, comfortable blue midsoles and black outsoles complete the shoe.
