Rule the Court with the 'adiPower' Howard Sneakers

— September 29, 2011 — Fashion
Fans of Dwight Howard will be delighted to hear that the NBA basketball player has released a new pair of sneakers titled 'adiPower' Howard.

The adiPower Howard shoes are a high-top style design with a fairly layered look. The upper is made up of Black SprintSkin, which gives the kicks a scale-like aesthetic to the design. The rest of the sneaker features blue heel panels and white Adidas stripes, which are recurring colors in Howard's basketball team the Orlando Magic. The tongue has an imprint of the NBA player's signature and the heel patch features the number 12, which is his jersey number.

The overall design of the adiPower Howard kicks is minimalist, but the makers do a great job of incorporating features that play to the NBA star's personality.
