Start Saving Now

I got a sneak peek of this book and its ridiculous! Im starting to save my money now so i can pick up a copy this book. You should do the same.
"To pay homage to the Top Ten, adidas teamed up with sneaker boutique UNDFTD, and photographer Estevan Oriol for a limited edition two-piece collaboration project. Keeping up with what the 1979 classic on-court sneaker stands for, UNDFTD tricked out the uppers in embossed leather that takes on the feel of an actual basketball. Accompanying the sneakers is a book containing street ball photography of Oriol, packaged in a special leather-bound case. Only 650 pairs will be released globally, with the majority being stocked at the UNDFTD locations. Be sure to windex the glass case.
