adidas Top Ten High Air Force Blue/White Available in December
In 1979, adidas debuted the revolutionary Top Ten basketball shoe. Designed with help from future Hall of Famer Rick Barry, its name came from being endorsed by the “Top Ten” professional basketball players in the US including fellow future Hall of Famers Bob Lanier and Adrian Dantley. Thirty years after its introduction, the Top Ten lives on as a classic shoe with fresh new colorways like Air Force Blue/White, hitting stores in December.
The new Top Ten High in Air Force Blue/White maintains all the elements of the shoe’s original performance-based design. The collar is padded for extra ankle support. The outsole has a herring-bone pattern and serrated edges for traction and flexibility. And the vamp is perforated for breathability.
Unlike the original, this shoe features perforated patent leather on the collar and toe cap, plain patent leather on the eyestay, and a textured, paint-splatter effect on the upper’s trademark three stripes. Only the white stripes, collar trim, and tongue markings break up the shoes all blue exterior.

adidas Top Ten High Black/Collegiate Red Available in December
At thirty years old, the adidas Top Ten High is going strong. Wednesday we previewed the Top Ten High in Air Force Blue/White, scheduled to hit Foot Locker stores next month. Today we show you another colorway dropping in December – Black/Collegiate Red.
Like the Top Ten in Air Force Blue/White, patent leather is used on the padded collar, toe cap and eyestay areas. The outsole has the original herring-bone design and the upper stripes have the same textured look and feel.
But this Top Ten Hi in Black/Collegiate Red features more of its secondary color than the Air Force Blue/White version, giving it a little more pop. The laces and outsole are entirely red, and red is utilized on the collar trim, three upper strips and midsole logo. Red is also incorporated into the “Top Ten” name on the tongue design.
This colorway still maintains the simple, clean look that made this shoe a classic. To get a better look, head over to the Gallery for more pics.
Introducing the adidas Court Raider Mid in White/Pool/Black, Available this Month
The adidas Court Raider Mid is not a re-release of an ’80s or ’90s shoe, despite what your first impressions may be. This month the Court Raider Mid will hit Foot Locker stores, for the first time ever, in White/Pool/Black.
The Court Raider gets its retro look with inspiration from other models in adidas’ rich basketball history. The silhouette resembles the Forum and Top Ten – both popular in the early 1980s – but with a bigger tongue and collar. The perforated vamp is also like those of the Forum and Top Ten, while the midsole and outsole were taken directly from the adidas Attitude, a style that debuted in 1986.
But the Court Raider also features some unique design elements. Mesh is incorporated into the throat, upper, and sides of tongue. The three stripes on the upper are layed over piecing that surrounds the mesh paneling on the upper. And the collar has extra perforated padding and plastic eyestay units.
To get better acquainted with the Court Raider, step over to the Gallery for more pictures.
