Float Like A Butterfly

Adidas Ali Andy Warhol Boxing BootsSting like a zebra!

Our pals over at Pick Your Shoes have gotten the new Adidas Muhammed Ali kicks in stock. My favorites are the extremely Limited Ed. Ali x Andy Warhol Boxing Boots. They feature Andy Warhol's portrait of Muhammed Ali on the side, there were only 150 pairs of them produced and they ain't cheap. They are quite a nice art object, though. Something to place on a pedestal rather than wear.

Ali Classic 1960 Sneakers Black/GoldIf you want a pair of Muhammed Ali Adidas that you might actually wear, check out the Limited Ed. Black and Gold Ali Classic 1960 kicks. They feature a portrait of Ali on the tongue label, his name and "1960" on the heel, and they are a lot more affordable than the Warhol boots.

If you're looking for something a little more rugged to survive the wonderful winter weather we're now experiencing, you might want to try these Ali Trainer Boots.Ali Trainer Camel They look rugged, like a pair of Timberlands, but those Adidas stripes and the Ali portrait tongue make them much classier. Here's what Pick Your Shoes has to say about the Adidas Ali Collection:
Adidas Ali Series is Muhammad Ali’s first collaborative apparel project ever, was born from extensive research of iconic pieces and images that Muhammad, his fans, and the people in his training camp wore in the 1960s and 1970s.

Muhammad Ali said "Throughout my life, I have pushed beyond the boundaries of what is expected. I truly believe that "Impossible is Nothing". I am excited about my new partnership with adidas as it will inspire in a completely new way, not only my existing fans, but a new generation as well.”
