Adidas Originals and Lifelounge collaborate to create art inspired by the brand’s avid creeds of ‘Impossible Is Nothing’ and ‘Celebrate Originality’.

“The project showcases the story and kicks created by the world’s original sneaker freak, Herr Fritz Träumer – a mythical and enigmatic sneaker designer who dedicated his lifetime to constructing the most original range of sneakers ever seen.”

Sneaker aficionado, Herr Fritz Träumer has taken personal journal entries with designs for sneakers that far beyond of the realm of traditional design, and turned them into a reality. This limited edition book features these designs as they have come to life. Gallery images and PDF download link from “All Day I Dream About Sneakers” after the jump.

Joining the hype in the anticipation of the Beijing Olympics is Adidas, and they have created the AZX project in due fashion. Utilizing the ZX as the sneaker of choice, 26 different collaborations have been penned with a few of the world’s most acknowledged sneakerphiles, stores and designers alike. Collaborators include Huf, ACU, Neighborhood, Bodega, Foot Patrol, Livestock, Goodfoot, UNDFTD, Major and Rivington Club. What we have here are the Limiteditons ZX450’s composed of dark backgrounds contrasted with neon highlights, and they are pretty snazzy if I do say so myself. I’ve always had a penchant for addidas, and these are a perfect reason why. Nab the full gallery after the jump.

For those of you without a strong affinity for culture, Lang Lang might as well by a synonym for naïveté. This 25 year old piano protégé’ has shared stage’s with every significant orchestra and composer and will be the highlight of the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony. He states:

“As an international pianist I combine both artistry and enthusiasm for sports – especially football. This was the beginning of a concept to make a special adidas artist shoe model. Adidas as a brand is more than only sports. Adidas is strongly showcased in the music scene. Therefore the linking of sports and culture is a very natural combination.”
