adidas Team Signature ProModel x Gabriel Urist
12 02 08 - 23:20 Yoooo sneakerheads! NYC jewelry designer Gabriel Urist (who has a license with the NBA) has done a sick collab with adidas to create the official footwear of the Celebrity All-Star Game that's happening February 14-17 in New Orleans. There are only 200 pairs of these limited-edition kicks and they will only be sold exclusively at the the NBA store in The Big Easy during All-Star Weekend.
From the color schemes of tans and golds, to the unique combo of Asian-inspired floral print with a wood panel aesthetic, it's apparent that Urist designed the adidas TS ProModel with his sporty jeweler's sensibilities -- that embodying the spirit of athletic beauty...
