Play to pay

 

I don't make a habit of sharing stuff I get via PR emails because most of them are terrible. But this one is really cool. In conjunction with the EA's "skate" video game, adidas is releasing a limited edition of Mark Gonzales and Dennis Busenitz kicks. They're custom colorways of Superstars and Gazelles with clear soles over images of the namesakes. Maybe it's easier to show you than explain...






The deal is that you have to play the game to unlock a chance to buy the shoes. Only 500 each, so prepare for some marathon sessions... I've had some first-generation adidas skate shoes in the rotation for years now, so I know these will be great for skating and not just some trophy shoes.

Man, I saw those on Hypebeast or Freshness and I wanted them. Too bad I don't have a "next-gen" console to play "Skate" on. From the sounds of it, "Skate" could be the one to dethrone the Tony Hawk series which has become more like the "NFL Blitz" of skateboarding video games than "Madden" (or "NFL2Kx").
