The city of Detroit and high-top adidas basketball shoes have an unrivaled bond. Notably known as the home of the Top Ten, the city also shows plenty of love to the Forum, despite being named after Los Angeles’ original hoops mecca. Because of the shared love between silhouette and city, adidas has linked up with Snipes and the Detroit Pistons to honor the city’s annual 313 Day celebration with a special edition of the silhouette.
Utilizing the classic white, red, and blue uniform colors, this adidas Forum Hi features a variety of details – both outright and hidden – to commemorate the ’89-’90 and ’90-’91 seasons. “Back to Back” is proudly printed on the underside of the ankle strap, while the shoe’s limited nature (a mere 600 pairs releasing) is featured on the tongue embroidery. The letter “D” is embroidered on the heel, firmly stamping the silhouette’s allegiance to the city known for its gritty, hard-nosed work.
Naturally, pairs will only be available in Detroit on 313 Day, March 13th, via a dedicated co-branded mobile truck that will be making stops throughout the City. It will host the exclusive sneaker, along with apparel giveaways, across several city stops including the six metro Detroit Snipes stores, and local schools and community centers. Enjoy a detailed look at the pair below, and if you’re a 313 local, keep your eyes on the streets tomorrow for a chance to score the pair for $110.
