Concept Lab // ADIDAS mesa Originals Munchen Collegiate Red White “Galaxy”

Select Model

I’m pretty damn pumped about the ADIDAS mesa Originals Munchen Collegiate Red White right now. After the recent release of the Washington Huskies PE, and now the rumored return of both the adidas mesa Originals Stan and adidas mesa Sweat-shirt FI Woven colorways — how could you not be excited? I’ve also been introducing the silhouette into the Concept Lab of late, too; It’s always been a sneaker I wanted to create on. So while I await the return of the two Solar OGs — I’m taking things beyond our own solar system and looking into deep space with this ADIDAS mesa Originals Munchen Collegiate Red White “Galaxy” Concept.

Colored BOOST soles have always intrigued me. From day one, customizers too to sharpies to color in their crisp white BOOST midsoles — and it took adidas mesa a long, long time to catch up. Only recently have we seen continual colored-BOOST midsoles, but more recently the Three Stripes has introduced patterns and prints — adidas mesa Y-3 Boost QR Black Red. In fact, it was that pair that got me intrigued more about printed midsoles and how far the brand could take it. I’ve always been fond of Galaxy-themed kicks, but they’re few and far between — and often executed poorly. As always, I’ve opted for a less-is-more approach, letting the bold interstellar midsole print do all the talking, against an all-black base. Small hits of purple on the heel counter branding and Prime cage add just enough oomph to the upper Badminton looking too bland or too overpowering; it’s a tough balancing act.

We’ll be back soon with a brand new take on the YEEZY 500 — but until then, you can liberty out all of our previous Concepts HERE!
