Adidas’ retro basketball kicks under the Adidas Originals brand name have born a new line – Introducing, the official shots of Adidas Centennial Mid ‘NBA Eastern Conference.’

According to Street Level’s blog, the Adidas Centennial Mid ‘NBA Eastern Conference’ consists of five-pair pack representing an Eastern Conference NBA Team.

Although the series highlight the logical choices: Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, the inclusion of New York Knicks is questionable (Miami Heat is a questionable one, but they are a better team, thanks to D Wade.) I’m sure that Adidas’ choices are based on market – New York is a huge kicks market.

I like the retro look of the basketball shoes, but the huge team logo on the shoes’ tongue disturbs me (the Knicks and Magic’s logo, surprisingly, look better than the rest, in my opinion.) Nevertheless, these new releases are much anticipated by hoops and Adidas fans alike.
