5th Platoon x adidas EQT B-Ball Contest

Ten years have passed since the original coming together of DJ crew 5th Platoon. Originally, this collaboration between 5th Platoon and adidas was to release last year during the holiday season and limited to only 50 pairs. However those plans were changed with numbers of 500 pairs produced and the institution of a contest by 5th Platoon. Well-known basketball brand UNDRCRWN designed one of their popular caricature shirts in the likeness of the 5th Platoon. Each t-shirt purchased includes a raffle ticket. The winning raffle ticket drawn on April 4th, 2008 will win a special 1 of 5 original size 9 sample 5P x adidas EQT B-Ball as well as a production version in their desired size. The differences are slight but are definitely apparent such as different lasering, sole layout and inner lining. The t-shirts as well as additional information including the winning ticket on April 4th can be seen at 5thplatoon.com/5PxADIDAS/.
