Alrighty so here we are. Now granted I didn't actually wear these today, I am one day behind everypost so work with me.
The Adidas Fortitude "Friends and Family" pack. Now Adidas was cool in my freshman year of highschool when I could get two pairs for 89 dollars at Footlocker, but other than that I didn't fuck with them. For me most of Adidas shoes look like orthopedic running shoes for seniors or they have that stupid shell toe. I am sorry, but shelltoes are fucking stupid looking. I might as well buy some Toms and hotglue a big fucking sea shell on them, and they would look exactly the same.
Now you know how Rocky always makes a big comeback in his films right? Well for me that's what Adidas was doing when I saw these shoes. Fucking Rocky theme with the old guy screaming you're a bum Rock and all. I couldn't believe that these shoes were made by Adidas. The color scheme was purely classic, and the boot sneaker hybrid thing was so cool to see. I mean I have seen the sneaker boot hybrid thing before, but it was usaully some ugly ass Air Max 90 boot thing. These were defenitely way better than those.
I picked them up at Majors in D.C., which by the way is one the best sneaker boutiques ever. Not like some other ones (I won't say names.) that act like they are better than you as soon step foot in the door and get shitty if you leave without buying something. Anyways I wore them right out the box and I can say that they have been in rotation ever since.
The shoe itself is super comfortable, the bed of the shoe molds to your foot almost completely within the first wear. They are of course ankle high, which isn't a big deal because these badboys are super light. The toe is mesh, which for me is always a plus when deciding whether or not to purchase a pair of shoes. They have a non skid sole, I really don't care about that personally but figured I would share. All in all Adidas hit a homerun with these shoes, now I hope they can keep this going.
