Adidas Samba Primeknit

On Sunday March 16, soccer player Luis Suarez wore a very unique pair of cleats at his game against Manchester United with a victory of 3-0. The Uruguayan wore the first pair of hand-knitted soccer boots by adidas, the "Samba Primeknit". This limited edition boot, available Monday March 17, will only have 150 pairs sold globally. The Samba Primeknit is the first football boots designed with a fully knitted upper from heel to toe and provides a bespoke second-skin fit that retains the strength of a conventional boot, stated by adidas.


Primeknit combines the comfort and responsiveness of playing barefoot with the protection of a traditional design.


The Primeknit's advanced production techniques allows for different zones to cater for various performance needs. 


Each yarn is treated with high precision coating to ensure water resistance even in the wettest conditions.


The one piece upper is constructed without wasting any material.


In my opinion, it's pretty neat to see the technology Adidas has come up with to make such a unique pair of football boots and the first ever. It's definitely something that possibly created history in the making when it comes to football boots. I personally wouldn't wear these just because I have a preference when it comes to cleats, but I do applause Adidas in creating something different for the world to see. 

Topshop x Adidas Originals Collection

Today (March 20) marks the day that one of my favourite stores, Topshop teams up with Adidas Originals Collection and I couldn't be more excited. I'm brand loyal to Adidas Originals and now that it's going to be offered at one of my favourite stores, and it's probably gonna offer exclusive Adidas apparel compared to other stores that offer Adidas Originals Collection because of Topshop's unique, trendy, and European style. Here's a look at some of the collection they offered today, and already some of their apparel are sold out!








The style is sporty yet trendy, just the style I like. I can't wait to see what else this new collaboration will come out with in the near future and I can't wait to visit Topshop to make some new purchases!

Here's the link to the Topshop Site to check it out.
