END X Bodega X adidas Consortium Exchange
UPDATE: A small number of these and dropped recently through the shoes' collaborators, but now the release has opened to new retailers. The second drop comes on July 8, and it's not going to be easy to come by (especially not the Inikis) so be sure to visit stores like and check out with the quickness.
UPDATE: We never doubted the upcoming END x Bodega x adidas Consortium styles would look fresh on foot, but just to confirm we're taking a good look at both the Haven and Iniki Runner in action.

The 2017 program – which unites some of the world's most influential retailers and tasks them with producing a two-shoe pack under a defined concept – has birthed some stunning Stripes so far, and this latest union is no exception.

Both design draw influence from Boro denim and the Japanese Sashiko stitching method that was traditionally used to repair torn jeans, and both are finished off with classic gum outsoles.
The END x Bodega x adidas Consortium Exchange will release on July 1, exclusively through END. and Bodega. A global release will follow on July 8 through select adidas Consortium stockists worldwide.
