Last year saw Robot Films link up with adidas on their project, adidas REMIX. The undeniable success of the previous 2007 EQT B-Ball model will relive itself with an all new 2008 version. The dynamic and creative due of film maker Chris Robinson and Set Free took things to a new minimalistic level, designing a flat matte black upper. Details are kept simple with a motherboard graphic print and solid black sole. As with all EQT B-Balls, two removable neoprene sockliners give the ability to customize the sneaker to your liking. To complete the pack, two Robot is the Future New Era caps as well a t-shirt will release alongside the sneakers.
500 pairs of the sneakers have begun hitting stores now such as Atmos, Bodega, Major Inc and Robot. Stay tuned for more details including interviews with Set Free and a chance to win your very own adidas Remix Robot Films 2008 package. Photos were shot by Set Free himself with his collection of vintage robots.

The collection seen here includes footwear and t-shirts. 1% of all proceeds from the sale of this collection will be donated to the Sierra Club’s 1% For the Planet initiative which promotes environmentally friendly initiatives. Available now at select Etnies dealers.
