LEI WANG Tuesday, March 08, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | adidas Garnett 3
  7.00 / 10
Lei uses 2 different colorways for outside and inside upper and sole that bring a fresh appearance. Full 3D mesh with Lycra creates a one-piece inner sock to replace regular inner layer and tongue which provides maximum support, elasticity and beathability. Big "Garnett" embroidery becomes the "middle stripe" of symbolic adidas "3-stripe". New "KG" logo printed on the insole.
Laceless - laces replaced by zipper for easy wearing and security.

PIETRO PELLICELLI Monday, March 07, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | adidas KG III: Key Guardian
6.30 / 10
Pietro noticed that while Kevin Garnett wore a lot of different brand of shoes over the years, one thing that never changed is the Johnson & Johnson taping. His question was: Is it possible to have a lightweight, breathable, well cushioned and super protective shoe just as if you had your ankles taped? Since adidas's motto is "Impossible Is Nothing". So Peterflght came up with the idea of a "vertebrale column and ribs"-like structure, where
extended adidas vertical stripes become a structural termoplastic stability
device just as a vertebrale column, and the open wrap around leather straps
provide protection and stability without compromising (frontal) movements. See his concept theme here.

TOM RUSHBROOK Sunday, March 06, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | adidas KG III
 6.79 / 10
For the KG III, Tom decided to go for a dynamic lightweight approach but keeping a shed load of lateral support and a lock in support system at the rear. The upper draws inspiration from soft snowboard bindings, hugging and locking down the foot around the forefoot, arch and heel. The rear blocking unit snaps down to load the foot and then snaps back up pushing the foot towards the front of the shoe. The forefoot straps have an elastic membrane between the synthetic parts to allow for finetuning of the fit.
The cushioning unit is a lightweight A3 version 2 - basically a Horizontal V shaped peebax or TPU acting as a spring coil.

OLIVIER BERTRAND Saturday, March 05, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | KG III
7.01 / 10
Olivier's design stands out as one of the most realistic renderings we've seen. The full-grain leather detail is just jumping out at you. But take a good long look and you can see that this design is much more than just a good render. The three stripes are very subtle but let's you know that this is an adidas shoe. Stand back a little and the shoe will look great from a far with its contrasting white/black combination. This shoe would look great both as on court or as a lifestyle shoe.

VENTSISLAV NIKOLOV Friday, March 04, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | adidas a3 aa KG III
6.39 / 10
Nikolov's tones down his usual extremeness to offer the "KG3 a3 aa". The "aa" stands for "all around" of the full length a3 system and the all around ankle strap. One thing we've noticed is that just about every line on this shoe comes in threes.

TONY HENDRIX Thursday, March 03, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | KG III The Rebirth
6.19 / 10
Tony Hendrix designed the KG III to match Kevin Garnett's personality. Aggressive on the court, but chill on the inside. The medial side of the shoe
represents the calm & cool side. It's called "The Rebirth" because of the
reemergence of the shell toe, the Timberwolves, and Garnetts dominance
and rise with Adidas. The shell consists of a leather upper flanked by a scratch and water
proof heel wrap. The hex design should provide flexibility and
strength. adiPRENE technology used in the sole as well as a hidden a3
support system.

JOE IM Wednesday, March 02, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | adidas Garnett 3
6.76 / 10
The KG3 captures the wild and ferocious nature of KG's game and personality. The shoe takes its inspiration from the wilde beast, which is primarily evident in the lateral stability structures. For cushioning, an external pod-like mechanism was deployed rather than the a3 cushioning technology. Overall, Joe just want to create a loud shoe that you just can't help but notice. While we don't think this is one of Joe's better work, there are some excellent design elements ideas here.

NGANGA VILLA ISMAËL Tuesday, March 01, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | adidas Kevin Garnett III
7.65 / 10
Isma's design is inspired from the Kevin's personnality
on the court. Garnett is a sharp dresser and the blue shining leather with metallic chrome brings elegance to KG's game. The outsole consists of a unique jumping system that allows Garnett to control the air with his rebounds and flying dunks. We like the Hexalite imprint carried over from the KG I as well as the superb KG logo faded into the background. Dare we say adidas laser etching?

ADIS GACEVIC Monday, February 28, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | KG 3 Concept
5.84 / 10
Adis Gacevic's rendering of the KG 3 Concept is a picture in motion. It seems as if the image of the shoe is tying itself together. If you blink, the next snapshot will be a shoe that's laced, latched and strapped down. This is a very unique perspective that we've not seen since Michael J. Fox's self-lacing Nikes in Back to the Future II.

SINDRI SIGURDSSON Sunday, February 27, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | KG III
5.96 / 10
The beloved "feet you wear" technology is brought back to life with the help
of "adidas a3" mechanical cushioning system in the revolutionary adidas KG3.
This shoe works as a high-powered extension to your foot. Outsole design mimics the foot, herringbone traction in key areas give traction only where needed. Full length chromed external TPU stability plate wraps up around the base of the foot to provides added support and distribute impact forces across a broader surface area. The upper features a stiff external heel counter which wraps up around the rearfoot, providing added ankle protection.

ZENITH CHANCE Saturday, February 26, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | adidas a3 Garnett 3
8.22 / 10
Zen is back with his signature touch. The adidas a3 Garnett III uses a new "HUG system". Where adidas tried to hide the laceless technology in the T-MAC IV, Zenith rather exposes it. In addition, he incorporated the Ultra a3 cushioning technology for maximum cushioning and support.

KRYDO DESIGN Friday, February 25, 2005
February 2005 - Garnett III | The Insect
6.53 / 10
The Insect by Adidas is a basketball shoe made for the player who has the rarest mix of speed and strength, the guy who's wiry and light, yet can post up, who's 7 feet tall, yet can shoot the ball from anywhere he wants, the guy who blocks shots like a power forward but leaps like a shooting guard. KG is the insect because of his extremely long arms and legs and his ability to leap, dunk and outstrength guys that look like they should easily have their way with him. Deceptively strong, deceptively quick and absolutely deadly.
The asymmetrical design is highlighted by the lateral wing that makes its way from the outsole, up the upper into the eyestay. This piecing coupled with an asymetrical lacing system provides support during cutting and push off. The toe is protected by a cap that harkens back to the Adidas shell toes of the 70's and today. The upper is overlasted to create a sleek look, while internally, a carbon fiber shank & cage work with non-stretch mesh to provide the support needed for KG durin
