Adidas has introduced its new Crazyquick performance footwear line, which the company touts as being the latest innovation designed specifically to help make athletes quicker. This includes a line for basketball, football, running and training; and each gives athletes better controlled flexibility, better traction and optimal foot lockdown. So while it is good that Adidas is thinking of the “Quick” part, there are a whole lot of athletes that probably don’t need any help on the “crazy” part.

Sporting footwear maker Adidas has long been known to take chances and try new things. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise when the company announced last Friday that it had reached a deal to sign several professional snowboarders to its new team.
Joining Jake Blauvelt, who signed earlier in the year, and with a soon to be released signature après shred boot launching this month, the following professional snowboarders join the Adidas team: Kazu Kokubo, Eric Jackson, Helen Schettini, Forest Bailey and Keegan Valaika. The company further noted that the Adidas snowboarding joins Adidas Skateboarding in an effort towards dedication to authentic and collaborative footwear and apparel designed by skateboarders and snowboarders, for skateboarders and snowboarders.

Adidas has introduced a variety of new shoes this year – and now two different trends have apparently merged. Adidas has made inroads in the minimalist shoe category and has been active with a variety of golf shoes. Now the Puremotion golf shoes deliver that lightweight and minimal feel for the fairway. These shoes are waterproof and flexible, and come with a 90 day comfort guarantee.
Since most courses probably won’t let you golf barefoot this might just be the next best thing.

Hot pants – as in short shorts – are really not something that comes to mind for cycling. But the “hot pants” developed byAdidas with help from British Cycling and Loughborough University could be the next big thing for track bike racers. These track suit bottoms are actually warm up pants that can help heat up the rider’s muscles prior to competition.
The ADIPOWER are reportedly similar to the tire warmers used in Formula 1 racing, and pre-heat the muscles. These hot pants feature battery-powered heat filaments that are strategically placed on core muscle groups and maintain the temperature between warm-up and the start. The pants even feature a quick release so the garments can be stripped off at the last second – much like stripper pants in a way, but if they make the difference on the track who is going to complain.
