Initially introduced in the late 70s and based on retro basketball styles, the adidas Originals Nizza has recently been given a lot of attention as of late, as the brand has made it an intricate part of their 2011 collection.This aluminum colorway has been given a unique twist, decked out with a zipper that spans the entire high of the shoe, running from the heel to the ankle. It features a quality canvas upper, reinforced toe guard, a stitched leather brand logo on the tongue and embroidered white three stripe branding on the sides.
