New Zealand retailer Qubic hosted an Adidas Originals party last week, celebrating their ObyO line.<\/p>\n

In addition, they asked 5 international sneaker enthusiasts to participate by designing their own pair of an Adidas throwback.<\/p>\n

All five came up with something different, drawing inspiration from different sources within their lives, and putting forth their own footwear philosophy. Three different Adidas Originals models were used, with no design coming out similar to another.<\/p>\n

Designed by: Woody ; Editor, Sneaker Freaker Magazine, Australia<\/p>\n

Shoe: Adidas ZX-700<\/p>\n

Woody is a big fan of older Adidas running models, so he opted to use this ZX-700 for his design. Wanting something simple and clean, but not boring, he ended up using this monotone blue color over a white sole. His inspiration came from one of his favorite jackets, which he nows has the perfect shoes to match. He also chose to have his name embroidered on the side, letting everyone know just who designed these.<\/p>\n

Designed by: Kevin Downie; Owner, Dunedin<\/p>\n

Shoe: Adidas Forum Lo<\/p>\n

Kevin originally got a pair of the Forum Lo when visiting New York, decades ago, when the model had not yet come to his native England. Being an owner of a small business, and also a beer enthusiast, Kevin used the colors for a local brewery, “Epic,” as inspiration for his color choices.<\/p>\n

Designed by: Frank Liew; Owner, Qubic<\/p>\n

Shoe: Adidas Gazelle<\/p>\n

Frank wanted to create a simple custom shoe with details that differentiate it from just a solid shoe. His Gazelle features a mix of nubuck and leather in an identical grey color, meant to be noticeable when someone is close to the shoe or touching it. Another accent he chose was the bright colored bottom, meant to be seen s a break from the color monotony when the wearer is walking.<\/p>\n

Designed by: Chris Lewis; Art Director, TBWAWHYBIN<\/p>\n

Shoe: Adidas ZX-700<\/p>\n

Chris’ profession as an art director and graphic designer led to his color choices. Chris deals with CMYK (Cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black)) on a daily basis, so he chose to incorporate all four colors into his personal design. The colors may be wild, but the design is very controlled, thanks to the balance of white dividing up the colors.<\/p>\n

Designed by: Sean Aickin; Photographer, Wellington<\/p>\n

Shoe: Adidas ZX-700<\/p>\n

Sean’s a photographer by trade, and wanted to build a tribute to his favorite film: 35mm black and white. Using only greyscale colors, Sean created a nice balance and effective design. The crackle print inspiration is also from film–a technique that requires heating film to create an effect on the final picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
