Fashion is uninhibited. It's about taking risks and stepping outside boundaries to express yourself, but it’s nothing like dressing in the dark. Fashion enthusiasts make calculated decisions for each look or style they pursue, as what they choose is a direct reflection of who they are or how they want to be perceived in the world.
adidas SLVR The sleek adidas SLVR 106 uses a mesh upper for a slim look. Presented in black, the shoe features an innovative eyelet design and a polyurethane insole for all day comfort.
adidas SLVR Label A complete collection of innovative pieces designed with care and rigor. adidas SLVR is pure, streamlined form, stripped of excess; it delivers effortless dressing for those who appreciate design.

I had heard of this line before but didn’t really look into it until my friend Stephen wore this really cool, streamlined jacket from them. My first guest WOULD NOT have been adidas, not even adidas Originals. It is completely different than that. I like that they are experimenting more with lifestyle wear, they would be the sportswear company to do this and do it well (ex: Y-3, Y’s, etc.). I checked out their site and saw several pieces I’d LOVE to have right now. And their SHOES, myyyyy goodness — there’s a pair in particular that’s actually pretty COOL.
You can shop online. Also, everything is 50% off at the SLVR outlet!
Learned about these from Hypebeast. Reminds me of a couple of things. I do find these reminiscent of some Rick Owens high fashion sneakers. Maybe it’s the B&W or the clunky shape … They are definitely cool and pretty unique. And adjustable for when your feet feel swollen? What are your thoughts?!

My friend Elton Sherman of Pretty Ugly gifted me with several cool graphic tees from his blog and online shop. I wrote about it awhile back on my old blog, Love, Portland but I finally have the chance to show one of the designs to you guys myself.
