The current revival of Feet You Wear-era models is working wonders for adidas, and another design from then is being revisited with the return of the Intimidation Low. Core White Team Royal Blue, an original color scheme, this iteration will launch alongside a Wonder Aluminium Yellow pair to kick off 2025. The model was recently the star of a collaboration between the German sportswear giant and Jersey-based sneaker boutique Packer, which saw the silhouette undergo a simplified execution. At the same time, this upcoming inline release from adidas maintains more OG design features.
Initially designed in 1999 by a young man fresh out of school under the tutelage of the legendary Peter Moore, Shane Ward is now an adidas senior director who is one of the lead creatives on the current Fear Of God projects. Shane created the model for the frontman of the adidas FYW campaign in the 90s, NFL star Keyshawn Johnson, as part of the "Training for Sport" initiative. A quarter century after first being released, adidas has deemed the time is right to bring them back, and the distinctive design is undoubtedly on-trend.
Craig Bell happily talks about sneakers or as he calls them "trainers" every day of the year. An avid Bradford City fan, he's also a big supporter of the Philadelphia Eagles. He will forever profess that Cricket is better than Baseball and that Rugby League is better then Rugby Union. Among his many hot takes, he believes the adidas ZX range is the pinnacle of sneaker design.
