Back at the Geneva motor show, we were subtly impressed with Laurens van den Acker’s custom Adidas tennis shoes that paid homage to the DeZir concept. Fast forward to Frankfurt and yet another pair of custom three-stripes have been rolled out. Suitably finished in three shades of green, the ‘Z27 Work’ shoes are a worthy successor to the red items he sported back in March.

Audi’s Urban Concept is causing quite a stir. It’s interesting to note that a lot of the designers we’re speaking to about it see it in the mold of a fun toy, a la Morgan three-wheeler.
It looks good, with some really great surfacing. Most amusing though were the two androgynous stand models, dressed in matching red-and-white Adidas gear. It’d obviously been designed to fit with the car’s colour scheme and it worked a treat. Audi, the automotive equivalent of Adidas? Yep, it’s a surprisingly good fit.
