To help introduce their new Zeitfrei cycling shoe, adidas has enlisted the help of two well-respected names in the realm of fashion and footwear. Online fashion/culture site Hypebeast and Berlin sneaker retailer Solebox have both teamed up with adidas to create their own colorway of the shoe. Hypebeast’s Zeitfrei features a light grey suede upper with yellow accents, while the Solebox version sports a black suede upper with red highlights. Both pairs use a striped white midsole and include the collaborators’ logs on the tongue labels. The Zeitfrei model offers some nice technical features such as a perforated upper for ventilation purposes with a reflective underlay showing through. The vulcanized midsole is built for stability and comfort and the outsole features two different types of thread for maximum grip.
To coincide with the release of both shoes, bicycle manufacturer Bianchi created a one of a kind bike to match each shoe and plans to eventually auction them off for charity. The shoes, on the other hand, will be limited to only 50 retail pairs of each with each numbered using laser-etching. The Solebox edition will be available exclusively at their store beginning Saturday May 23rd and will come with an SKS Solebox Air Champ Pro Air Pump. The Hypebeast Zeitfrei drops a week later on May 29th through their online store and will be packaged with a cycling hat, Cordura messenger bag and a carry-all sling bag. Check out some detailed images and additional release info after the jump.
