Adidas - The All-Things 'Adidas Sneakers/Trainers' Thread

[hollyslookingdry]

So I am in love with the shoes that Team Zissou wore in Wes Anderson's film "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou". And I really want a pair, but I can't find any on Ebay or anywhere. Does anyone have any information? Also, I believe the model they are based off of are Adidas Roms...does anyone know where to find these? Maybe I could make my own. Thanks for any help

Those Adidases were indeed nice.

Wes Anderson has the best use of music, colors and costumes of anyone working in cinema today IMO.

custom-made

I haven't seen the film but from my brief research, the shoes were custom-made and were based on adidas gazelles. So I went and found these pics, does either of them look close?

I love adidas...

adidas rom looks a lot like adidas italy, it's not the same, is it?

Hi there, this is my first time posting. Aparently the Zissou is the Adidas ROM with some superficial changes; there were never produced for retail.

(Very) full details are here: http://www.joshrubin.com/coolhunting/archives/2005/01/adidas_zissou.html

Hi there, I was thinking of getting some Adidas Superstars, just because they are very basic and look cute. Do you ladies/guys know how the sizing runs on them? Also, do you know if they come in any other color besides white? I want to give white sneakers a try...I don't know how to wear them basically. I usually wear black skecher sneakers.

i remember the days in middle school, where me and my friends owned at least 4 different colors each and we would swap shoes every week

they come in almost every color. although, im pretty sure some colors are discontinued. and sometimes the stripes dont have just a solid color, but also little adidas logos, reflectors, glitter, etc
