I remember back in 6th grade watching my \u201cthen\u201d<\/em> Miami Hurricanes face a tough test on Thursday night against the Louisville Cardinals. In a contest that the top-5 ranked \u2018Canes should\u2019ve won handily, they found themselves down early and I found myself in tears – literally, tears — bawling as if someone had informed me that I had lost a loved one, but in fact, it had certainly seemed as if I did. Up until that point the Miami Hurricanes represented an ideal<\/em>. An ideal of confidence and swagger that\u00a0I wanted to personify in many ways but never quite had the gravitas to exude. In retrospect, those tears represented that aforementioned ideal slipping away.<\/p>\n

Dating back to their dominance during the ’80s and early ’90s, Miami held a certain mystique that culminated for me during the 2001 National Championship game in which they took on the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Fielding a team, that could be the best NCAA\u00a0team of all time, they dominated the Cornhuskers and boosted my fandom.<\/p>\n

14 years later, the team that drew my admiration and the team that challenged are suddenly intertwined in becoming a duo that will shift the swagger and sartorial\u00a0cues of college football – courtesy of adidas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since the early ’80s, the Miami Hurricanes and the Nebraska Cornhuskers have had an eclectic history that blends\u00a0in a myriad of ways. For starters, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have made 17 Orange Bowl appearances in their history, dating all the way back to 1955. In addition, the \u2018Canes and Cornhuskers have played a total of 11 contest against one another, with five being in the city of Miami.<\/p>\n

This weekend\u2019s matchup will mark the twelfth meeting in their storied history and for us sneaker lovers, this game is arguably the most impactful game to date merely due to the unprecedented venture involving two incredible artist who will create custom 1-of-1 designs for each team. Miami will be utilizing the artistic talents of SolesBySir<\/strong> and Nebraska will be gaining cues from Mache275<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Each artist will build upon the storied tradition and history of each team. For starters, SolesBySir sat down with the Hurricanes and gathered each individual’s preferences within a questionnaire. Incorporating personal sayings, tributes and features, SolesBySir crafted over 50 different models from the starting quarterback in Brad Kaaya to walk-on members of the \u2018Canes.<\/p>\n

As he would state during a September interview, that is set to air later this week, the Miami artist elaborated on how pivotal of an opportunity this is for him. \u201cThe thing about this is that there are a lot of guys that will never be able to player professional football,” said the artist. “That\u2019s just reality when it comes to college sports. It\u2019s the guys like the third-string kicker or the fourth-string offensive tackle, that kept me inspired. Some guys have never seen a custom shoe, and this may ultimately become a\u00a0trophy for them. Five years down the line when they are a lawyer or a doctor, they\u2019ll be able to look back and remember that moment and that specific game.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the previously mentioned Mache275 will deck the entire team in a themed iteration of the adidas CrazyQuick 2.0, Mache has incorporated 17 decals of the letter \u201cN\u201d within the side panel of the silhouette, along with fusing palm tree detailing throughout a mostly white and Nebraska red model.<\/p>\n

Mache would describe his excitement by reminiscing on the stellar players to play within this Nebraska and Miami series.\u00a0\u201cWatching back in day and seeing Lawrence Phillips, Tommy Frazier and Eric Crouch – the whole history between Miami and Nebraska over the decades has really become a big deal — no matter who you happen to root for,” recalls Mache.<\/p>\n

As the hours until Saturday\u2019s matchup continues to dwindle down, the weight of this moment continues to grow because much like the catalytic influence\u00a0that shifted my fandom 14 years ago, as this 2015 matchup\u00a0could be\u00a0the catalyst for custom artists to create 1-of-1 models for a variety of institutions across all sports.<\/p>\n

In 2015, adidas Football has continued\u00a0to push the culture forward in many ways and with this latest venture it seems as though their\u00a0stellar 2015 campaign just gets even sweeter. Ultimately, only time will tell what this event transpires but it seems as though collegiate sports may never be the same again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
