The Adidas London trainers are back once more. Or should that be twice? After all, the City Series favourite is returning in an a couple of eye-catching colours.
Very strong red and green options to be precise. You can see the red over the page. Aside from that, it looks like business as usual, with a suede upper, leather detailing, gold 'London' branding, a textured tongue and a thin gum sole.
A couple of sizes gone already, but plenty still left online. £56.99 is the price.

An interesting collaboration using a minor classic of days gone by – the Le Coq Sportif x Hanon Arthur Ashe trainers.
As you might have guessed, this is a Hanon retail exclusive, with the shoe a remake of the original tennis shoe of the 1970s and 80s, designed (as you might also have guessed) for the US tennis icon Arthur Ashe. It's a no-nonsense trainer with perforated detail for breathing, a soft lining for comfort and premium upper for 'extra resistance'. It also features the original Le Coq Sportif 'practice' logo on the heel and the Arthur Ashe signature on the side.
These should be available this month on the Hanon site, as yet no price details have been announced. Another shot of the shoes from a different angle over the page.

The Adidas Montreal seems to the Size? exclusive trainer of choice at the moment. You can still pick up past colour options in limited sizes (although most sold out swiftly), but there's a new one coming your way in the coming weeks, an exclusive issue in brown.
The Adidas Montreal is quitw an interesting shoe, loosely based on the Gazelle design it has a distinctive collapsible heel that was designed to allow footballers to get the shoe on and off easily after training. Indeed, it's actually classed as a kind of 'clog' for that very reason. But let's be honest, it's not really one.
If you were hoping that 2011 would seem some more obscure Adidas reissues on the shelves…well…that's not looking likely so far. So following on from the the Samba reissue yesterday comes another regular on the reissue circuit, the Adidas Gazelle OG trainers. Fans of the style will probably be more enthusiastic.
Two new limited edition colours are now on pre-order, a 'medium green' and a 'lone blue', but both are the same apart from that colour. Which means a return to the 1960s silhouette and two tone suede finish, along with leather detailing, zig zag cut leather stripes and a gum sole unit.
Finished off with some gold branding, the shoes are ready to order now at £65.
