Just hanging a piñata here for sneakerheads and cordwainers to opine over. Or maybe this is a pitch.
We fans have little say in what the boardrooms decide, so we might as well squawk about what we'd like to buy and wear ourselves.
The German company Adidas isn't blazing any frontiers on cutting edge shoe fashion, but their origins [edit: in the US market] back in the late-60s/early 70s was pretty strong. So maybe their niche today would be retro, nostalgia, or throwback [Adidas haters insert "throw back" jokes here].
------
This Forum Low CL court shoe is already available in orange & white, listing for $100.
Below are some options that would require little change in their manufacturing to target Vol Nation:
Make the suede inserts Smokey Gray, along with the sole (better to have dirt and grime on gray instead of corrupting our Orange) and add to each box an extra pair of Summitt Blue shoe laces, for fans who want to make a Lady Vols statement:
OR, make that Lady Vols statement stronger (LV teams are excelling!) by making those suede inserts Summitt Blue:
Of course, some like their shoes extra quiet, and for them, more Smokey Gray shouts loud enough:
The thread is now open for traditional VolNation O & R.
(Opine & Ridicule)
