Right at the start of summer, adidas originals nmd men adidas Originals released a Basket Profi lowtop in Collegiate Silver suede. This new adidas Originals Basket Profi UA pictured above is something like its hightop counterpart, this Bliss suede pair going with a completely monotone makeup including the Stripes, laces and fuzzy inner lining. Atop a White Vapour sole, this is one of the cleanest Basket Profis on record and another case of adidas Originals allowing its classic basketball shoes to shine based on the beauty of the silhouettes themselves.

Earlier this month, adidas Originals released a Basket Profi hightop with two-toned Stripes in the vein of the classic Americana. Here we see a similar approach but with entirely different colors, as the adidas Originals Basket Profi Hi shows up with a new black leather colorway. The mix burgundy and gold accents tie in with star adidas athlete Robert Griffin III's Washington adidas originals nmd women Redskins, and given the start to their 2013 NFL season, the blacked-out upper may be more fitting than a white base. Check out some more photos after the jump, then pick up a pair from Originals accounts like Titolo .
RF: Only when the athletes and the machines tell us "it's too light". What that means adidas tubular is that we'll get athlete feedback but they'll never say "hey it's too light", but that it doesn't have enough support in certain areas, and those things represent "it's too light". On the other side, we've got the machines that test the pull-strength, and if doesn't withstand the pull-strength, we don't get lighter, we have to add to it to make it stronger. I think with materials science and the way it is, and with bio-mechanics and polymer experts, I think there's a long way to go in the lightweight direction.
ED: Yes, definitely. So one of the things was to change up the rubber we adidas originals actually have a thicker outsole around the perimeter which is a high-wear zone, and we also reduced the weight in the middle, and that resulted in a bit more abrasion-resistance and overall a more durable shoe that will allow you to play indoor and outdoor. Also, one of the big inspirations of Robbie was this idea of aerodynamic design and one of the results was reducing the seams. If you look at the forefoot, there really are no seams, so it's almost piece up until the medial panel, so you have a smooth, more finessed finish. That was an unexpected revision that really enhanced the product.
ED: Our team has a really solid understanding of basketball bio-mechanics and again, just going back to those 15 tests we put any shoe through they're pretty rigorous because that's what comes from adidas, with our roots being in performance footwear. As long as we're pushing the boundaries of "lightweight" and never forgetting and never compromising what it means to be a basketball shoe and what it requires, we can still go light. There's a lot shoes that go light in a very arbitrary way, but we try to do it in a very intelligent way, and we're still finding ways to make shoes lighter, which comes from not only material innovation, but construction innovation. We're not there yet!
