Oldie But Goodie: Adidas AZX ZX700Y Consortium

As we previously said somewhere in this blog that we don't necessarily write about new releases. We write about sneakers that ticks our inner neuro system that will prompt our hands to wildly reach for our wallets even at the unlikeliest times.

And this time, the itch goes to this oldie but goodie yang keren abis dari Adidas. Lo and behold, the Adidas AZX ZX700Y Consortium sweetness.



Cakep yaaahh! Agak aneh sih memang butuh pembiasaan di mata, but still it's a work of art.  Jadi di tahun 2009 (syit men udah lama juga ya), Adidas bekerjasama dengan beberapa retailer di Eropa untuk ngeluarin Adidas baru.  Dibikin semacam kompetisi gitu.  Etapi ga diumumin pemenangnya, tau-tau keluar ini aja.  Namanya susah pula, hahahaha!  

Siluet-siluet gedung atau landmark yang ada di bagian sol samping dan seperempat bagian atas ini adalah gedung-gedung dan landmark-landmark penting di Eropa.  No wonder I don't see the BNI tower or Monas.  This sweet little thing can still be yours today if you look deep enough in your favorite rare sneaker retailers.  I have my eyes set on one but I ain't sharing here. When it first came out, the AZX ZX700Y Consortium was retailed for about US$ 130.  And now the new, untouched ones, can be yours for about... double that price.

So you see, sneakers are good investment. Tell your partner that, or marry a fellow sneakerhead like me. HA!
