Last Saturday, adidas Originals Blue | Space 15 Twenty opened their doors in LA. The special shop hosts rotating pop-ups through out the year with adidas Originals Blue taking over for the next six weeks. Brooklyn-based painter Jason Woodside helped create artwork for the space, helping showcase the luxury street line from the Three Stripes.

In addition to the art, Jason Woodside customized two pairs of the Stan Smith, set to be displayed and later auction on eBay. Proceeds from the auction will go to the Free Arts non-profit organization.

This Wednesday, DJ duo Elijah Wood and Zach Cowie will spin hand selected vinyl live from the shop. Attendees will have a chance to will the vinyl collection. Get out to the shop on May 2nd for a special nail customization event featuring DJ So Super Sam.

The sneakers that are made in the USA continue their outdoor trend with the New Balance 998 “National Parks”. After a wave of “Seaside” 577s, this new NB 998 stays inland in natural tones. A tonal grey base composes most of the upper in mesh and suede overylays, joined with a blue suede heel counter. Red accents are seen on potions of the midsole, as well as the manufacturing tongue tag and branding outline. Final detailing comes in the form of a speckled midsole, color stitched laces, and a brown heel tab for a rugged touch. Explore a pair of “National Parks” this summer by swooping yours today for $160 from shopnicekicks.

This year is shaping up to truly be the year of the Reebok Insta Pump Fury OG, as the model is outfitted with a “Jackie Chan” homage-paying colorway. Originally worn by Chan himself back in the ’90s, the reissue returns with its neon neoprene sections intact, set atop soft white mesh, and accented by hits of flat grey on the toe cap, and athletic navy also inserted in the mix. The “Jackie Chan” Reebok Insta Pump Fury OG is available now at atmos via pre-order, and scheduled to ship on May 23.
