adidas Originals didn’t wait until the Year of the Snake to start adding serpentine sides to plenty of their classic designs. So if anything, their expertise with this look should produce some of the best in what’s shaping up to be the most sneaker-heavy Chinese New Year yet. Three new adidas Originals Forum Mid makeups make great use of the stuff, adding it to the mid-’80s basketballer’s famed ankle strap and ‘X’ and making us wonder what other signature design elements aside from the Stripes might be snakebitten for 2013. Stick with Sneaker News to find that and if this SS13 trio that just went up for pre-order at select Japanese retailers makes it stateside.
