Adidas and Australian-based boutique, Up There, teamed up to release a new silhouette honouring their home city of Melbourne. The Adidas Melbourne features a white mesh base, with suede and leather overlays which are inspired by a track spike worn during the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Tune into the review for an early look and to see how they are on feet. Anyone else looking to grab these?
Last month, New Balance dropped a series of city exclusive colourways of their 991 V2 silhouette.
