Because running should equal fun, there's no place for stiffness in the equation. This shoe has a fanned heel design that's less stiff. Plus full heel-to-toe Bounce that returns energy with each step for a supercharged ride.

The Adidas Originals Adicolor concept, came in the form of sports shoes and clothing that could be adapted by painting drawing or spraying a personal design on to the plain white canvas as it were.
The canvas being the upper of the white on white sports shoe, or the material of the apparel.

Several methods of design were possible, Adidas Adicolor pens, paintbrushes and aerosol sprays would allow the artist to customize their sports canvas. Adicolor also provided lace jewels and changeable coloured stripes to offer yet even more variation and individuality to the artist.

Adicolor is about personal expression that encourages creativity, and to pay homage to the artists and the original Adicolor collection, in 2006 Adidas released a whole new colour series to a whole new generation. In collaboration with artists and fashion icons, the new Adicolor range would be categorized in to seven different colour series. Green, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Black, Red, and of course the the original White series.

Innovative designers and Artists involved with Adicolor included Taro Okamoto from Japan who produced abstract art as well as avant-garde paintings and sculptures.

Also Emilio Pucci, an Italian fashion designer, a talented man with a strong sporting background who was known to be active in the world of politics.

In creating Adicolor, Adidas struck a chord with many of their faithful followers and introduced them to the world of art and design. An unlikely relationship, but a successful one that has brought together both art lovers and Adidas Adicolor collectors.

Blackpool were one of a number of clubs dragged into last season's League One relegation battle but they managed to finish three points and two places above the bottom four.

It has been an intriguing summer at Bloomfield Road with the news that Latvian millionaire Valeri Belokon has concluded a deal to buy shares in the club. Belokon announced he would invest a substantial sum of money, believed to be 5 million into the League One strugglers. Belokon would like to be club president, with current chairman Karl Oyston remaining in his role. The Latvian's other business interests include a bank, brewery, newspaper, television station, fish processing, a travel agency, the Baltic Institute of Strategic Studies and a golf school.

However, players coming in to the club have not been anywhere near as glamorous. Livingston left back Paul Tierney agreed a two year contract following his free transfer from the Scottish First Division side.

Former Crewe Alexandra centre back Michael Jackson arrived on a free transfer from Tranmere Rovers and returns to Lancashire following spells at Presto North End and Bury. Swansea City winger Adrian Forbes signed a two year contract following his release from the Liberty Stadium.

Highly rated goalkeeper Les Pogliacomi returned to Oldham Athletic after being released by Blackpool at the end of last season. The Tangerines have replaced him with Rhys Evans from Swindon Town and also have veteran Lee Jones to call upon.

Verdict

The bookmakers make Blackpool one of their top eight favourites to win the division next season. Who are they trying to kid? The club has slid down the division progressively over the last three seasons and they will be fortunate not to slip into the bottom four.

adidas Little Kid's Superstar 2G Sneaker

Introduce the next generation to the iconic shell-toe style that has made the Superstar one of the most beloved adidas shoes for, well, generations.

Running shoes have evolved throughout its history, both in design and in performance.

The earliest pair of running shoes were called plimsolls. It was created using vulcanization, wherein rubber and clothe are fused together using heat. This is a technique still in use these days. These plimsolls were lightweight and comfortable, and were actually called "sneakers". In 1917, the Keds shoe company started mass producing and selling them to America.

While Keds was the first to sell trainers on the market, specialist running shoes have been around for a long time.

For example, in the late 1890's, J.W. Foster and Sons (now known as Reebok) created one of the earliest running shoes that were equipped with spikes on the underside of the shoe. The British founder of Reebok, Joseph William Foster, wanted to develop a shoe that would increase speed while running, as running and racing were his passion and primary goal driver. Thus spikes were added to the design.

The German Adi Dassler (founder of Adidas) further improved the spike technology in 1925. He created a range of shoes with hand forged spikes, with different spikes for different types of running shoes. He also used lightweight materials for easier usage and faster speed in running.

Today's running shoes are a combination of technology from its earliest conception and the demands of present day athletes. Now that podiatrics or foot medicine is integrated into the picture, running shoe designs incorporate foot health into its features. Primarily, different shoes are designed for different foot types. Today's technology have allowed vast improvements in comfort, design and performance.

India is fast becoming the retail destination of the world. According to the international management consultant AT Kearney, India has emerged as the leader in terms of retail opportunities. The retail market in India is anticipated to grow to 427 billion USD by the year 2010.

However, the face of the Indian retail industry is changing. India is passing through a retail boom today. A number of changes have taken place on the Indian retail front such as increasing availability of international brands, increasing number of malls and hypermarkets and easy availability of retail space. With the Indian government having opened up the doors for FDI, the entry of foreign retailers into the country has become easier. India has come a long way from the traditional Kirana stores and is on its way to becoming a mall country. The emphasis has shifted from reasonable pricing to convenience, efficiency and ambience.

The major factors fuelling this change are the increase in disposable income of the people, improving lifestyles, increasing international exposure and increasing awareness among the customers. India has a large middle class as well as youth population, which has contributed greatly to the retail phenomenon. The middle class is considered to be a major potential customer group. The youth are perceived as trend setters and decision makers. Tourist spending in India is increasing, which has also prompted the retail boom.

Food and grocery are the two categories in the Indian retail sector which offer the most promising opportunities. Apart from this, the other areas where there are vast possibilities for Indian retailers are jewellery, apparel and consumer durables. Indian retailers are also trying to create a niche for themselves in areas such as books, gifts and music.

The Indian retail industry is going through a period of golden sunshine.

Fibre2fashion discusses on certain issues concerning the Indian retail industry with Mr. Andreas Gellner, Managing Director, Adidas India:

Mr. Gellner, expressing his view on the present scenario in the Indian retail sector, states that by now, it is fair to assess that the outlook is very bright, but currently, the potential and dynamics are somehow overhyped. Undersupply of suitable spaces and manpower have driven both critical cost components to levels where it is very difficult for many retailers to make profits (not to talk about generating funds for further expansion). The service tax on rentals, of course, was the final blow to many profitability models.

He went on to further state that the long-term future is very promising, but the next few years will remain extremely challenging. While speaking about the current mall culture in India, he believed that the malls as places to congregate and spend time for shopping and other activities have been well accepted.

Tuesday's best game will surprise you and that is the Piston-Hornets matchup. The blowout game should not necessarily surprise the avid basketball fan with Lebron going up against the Knicks.

Best: Pistons @ Hornets: The Hornets have won handily against San Antonio and Miami at home and this game should be a struggle for Detroit. Expect a sellout and raucous crowd to be against the Pistons, who havent shown up in games against weak opponents more than they do versus strong ones. The Pistons are coming into this game on a sliding note.Predicted Score: New Orleans/Oklahoma City wins in a shocker 101-98

Runner-up: Celtics @ Hawks: Is it even possible for any team to be swept by the Hawks? Thats what the Celtics face when they head into Atlanta having already suffered a pair of losses to Atlanta. It doesnt say much for your playoff chances when you struggle to beat the Hawks. I have to imagine Paul Pierce will step up and lead them over Atlanta. Predicted Score: Boston wins on the road 113-108

Blowout: Knicks @ Cavaliers: The Knicks have done badly against teams that are flat-out stronger and more physical than they are. The smaller Knicks have PG-playing-SG Jamal Crawford defending LeBron James, which is a recipe for disaster. Predicted Score: Cleveland wins handily in a double digit blowout 109-94
