Before the recent mad dash toward hybrid ankle, combining the Nike Blazer with the adidas Samba tournament have seemed downright silly. Three Stripes and the Swoosh are still locked in a fight to the death, so don’t expect any cross-label collabo kicks, but the two aforementioned classics might give you a good starting foot to imagine how this latest adidas Originals release is going to look. Not a hybrid, but rather a basketball shoe of the same vintage as the Blazer, the adidas Center is back for the first time in a good while with three fresh new colorways. Much like the venerable Blazer, the Center works best with simple colorblocking, and we’ve got three new white-on-color pairs to show you. Click the jump below to see green, red and black pairs, then grab one or more from select adidas Originals retailers like Caliroots.
