At the beginning of last year, adidas and its adidas Originals division decided to turn back time — revisiting the ’90s with the return of the ADIMATIC. Teaming up with atmos to celebrate its return, the bulky skate sneaker has been well-received, especially in Japan. Collaborations on the sneaker thus far have included touches from NEIGHBORHOOD, Melting Sadness, HUMAN MADE and more.Now, for its SS23 selection of looks, an “Auburn” colorway has been prepared for launch. Its upper begins with a reddish-brown base in suede that offers a fall-esque finish that is complemented by a lighter brown shade at the laces. Its sizable Three Stripes and mudguard similarly don a soft suede while favoring a straight black hue that matches its heel branding and detailed midsole. Lastly, a gum sole puts the final fall touch on the pair.Having hit shelves via select international retailers previously, the adidas ADIMATIC “Auburn” has been spotlighted by atmos Tokyo ahead of its March 4 release. Priced at ¥13,200 JPY (approx. $97 USD), pairs are up for lottery now.

Release Info for the Reebok Question Mid “Orange Toe”
Following up on its collaborative hiking-focused Club C Cleated collaboration with Danielle Guizio, Reebok is focusing its efforts back to its signature hoops line to unveil a new Allen Iverson signature colorway. The Question Mid — which was recently spotted returning in its Lakers-friendly “Yellow Toe” palette — is returning to the spotlight this month to release in a brand new “Orange Toe” color scheme.When cooking up this limited edition offering, Reebok designers were inspired by the boldness of ’90s footwear catalogs and zeroed in on a bright and playful orange hue to be the focal point. Citrus-y pops are distributed in a variety of areas on the mid-cut silhouette such as the suede toe overlays, lace loops that spell out Reebok, vector logos that are embroidered into the quarters and tongues as well as the Question insignias on the heels. The rest of the kicks are formed with all-white leather base layers and tonal midsole pieces which allows its titular shade to do the heavy lifting.For those that are interested in copping a pair, you can find Reebok dropping this Spring-friendly installment on March 16 for $170 USD.Elsewhere in footwear news, London-based vintage seller 194 Local just announced its new Reebok Beatnik collaboration.
