ADIDAS UNVEIL SHALKE 2017/18 AWAY KIT

By now it’s clear what adidas is doing with the away iterations for their 17/18 away kits. Shalke is the latest club to get the retro treatment as adidas dips back into their early 90’s repertoire for inspiration.  Similar to last week’s Man U drop, Shalke’s 17/18 away kit takes a brazen print from their early 90s past and reworks it into a modern fit. The white strip is accented with a blue crew-neck collar, sleeve cuffs and adidas three-stripe branding. Those 90s vibes come by way of the thick, light-grey markings as seen in Shalke’s iconic 92-93 home shirt.

The Shalke 2017/18 away kit is available now at shalke04.de

 

 

MARCO REUS GETS A ‘DERBY FEVER’ PUMA EVOSPEED 17.SL

The “Derby Fever” treatment has been given to Cesc Fabregas, Hector Belerin, Santi Carzorla, Antoine Greizman and now, to Marco Reus. Puma have created another limited run of boots inspired by the German superstar and the derby in which he will play in the weekend.  The custom evoSPEED 17.sl are fittingly split in half by the black and yellow of Borussia Dortmund. Nods to the infamous Signal Iduna “Yellow Wall” via artwork of hands signals, banners and flags. The words “Revierderby” are stitched into the upper part of the toe-box, a subtle nod to the name of the notorious derby between Dortmund and their bitter rivals Shalke. As with every other iteration of the limited drops, a circular ‘Derby Fever’ logo sits near the heel counter. Barring injury, Marco Reus is set to rock these bad boys, one time and one time only in the aforementioned “Revierderby”.

The Puma evoSPEED 17.sl Rues “Derby Fever” is available now at Puma.com
