ADIDAS UNVEILS THEIR LATEST ALOHA SUPER COLORWAY

Some people like bright, colorful shoes that pop. Others like to keep it simple, but fashionable. If you are on the latter end of things, the latest Aloha Super colorway from adidas maybe for you. This colorway, called the Karol Winthorp, is paying homage to Mark Gonzales and Spike Jonze, two guys who have been extremely influential in the world of skating and skate videos. Of course, Jonze has also directed movies like Being John Malkovich and Her, not to mention the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” video.

This shoe needs a bit of explanation. First, you need to be aware of the 2006 video Krooked Kronichles, which was filmed in part by Gonzales using the moniker Karol Winthorp. Jonze, a long-established director by that point, pops up in Krooked Kronichles, and in the video he’s wearing brown shoes for all his scenes. Thus, the Karol Winthrop colorway for the Aloha Super. It’s a shoe that is brown-on-brown. Even the midsole is a different shade of brown. That being said, if brown is your color when it comes to shoes, this may be the best offer adidas has ever put out as far as you are concerned. This new colorway will be available in some regions on the adidas website as of Saturday, December 12.
