BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

Hell on shoes


adidas Originals & Universal Pictures 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army'
Tri-collaboration: 2 pairs of special edition sneakers
OUT TODAY – SEPTEMBER 5!

A unique tri-collaboration has given birth to two special edition shoes for sneaker collectors and Hellboy fanatics. adidas Originals, Universal Studios & Guillermo Del Toro, the film’s director, and Dark Horse Comics & Mike Mignola, the original comic book artist of Hellboy have come together and given inception to the Stan Mid-Hellboy and Forum Mid-Golden Army. In celebration of this rare opportunity, adidas Originals is hosting the premier night of the much-awaited movie Hellboy II: The Golden Army on September 5 at The Power Plant Mall Cinema, Rockwell.

For comic, movie, and sneaker aficionados, the Forum Mids represent the best of all three worlds. The shoe comes in a specially designed package boasting a trio of gold, black, and white with the Hellboy lettering across its Velcro strap. On the shoe’s outsole and footbed is the image of Ron Perlman, the titular demonic anti-hero of the movie. Watch out for a possible onscreen appearance of this shoe! Only 41 pairs will be sold at the adidas originals store in Trinoma, Greyone Social in Rockwell, and the Shoe Salon Glorietta on September 5.

Completing the pair of these special edition shoes is the Stan Smith Mid which comes in a black patent leather with the bestselling ‘pimpled’ sole. An exclusive image of Hellboy from Mike Mignola himself retains the aesthetic feel of both film and publication. Extra details on the inner and outer sole, like a collection of three extra footbeds, lace jewels, a mini-comic and unique tongue branding, finished with a box created exclusively for this three-way collaboration make for a very special release. Available in only 6 pairs at the adidas Originals Concept store in Trinoma also beginning on the morning of September 5th.

Catch them and unleash the Hellboy in you!
