Whenever you are 17 and 18 years old, there are two circumstances that are particularly difficult to come across. The first one being a new haircut and the other being new sneakers. During this time in your life, school outweighs the importance of a new job which would bring about some of the aforementioned maintenance features that many of us routinely enjoy. However, adidas Football made the members of the Army All-American Game feel like the finest of stars as both Day 1 and Day 2 of the week witnessed the All-Americans receive special treatment in the likes of a mobile barbershop along with being surprised with a pair of “Triple-White” Ultra Boosts. All in all, the week began fast for the upcoming collegiate stars as the fair share of “new speed” permeated throughout Downtown San Antonio.
Ultimately, things continued to progress well over the next two days within the Alamo City as the East and West teams continued to practice in preparation for Saturday’s matchup at the Alamodome. Hitting the fields in frigid temperatures, the likes of Jacob Eason, Jordan Fuller, Isaac Nauta and more, continued to impress and spoke with us at length after practice. Furthermore, we spent time with Dwayne Frampton who placed us within an abbreviated but yet rigorous footwork course in which his NFL clientele such as DeSeason Jackson endures each and every off-season.
Although adidas pulled out all the “stops” for each and every recruit, that included great tickets to the San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz game in which armed forces veteran David Robinson made an appearance; the players finally received their uniforms. Featuring both a vibrant and subdued look, both teams’ uniforms employ PrimeKnit technology for added performance functionality along with its sleek look and angled typography.
Now while plenty would think that the gifts and surprises stopped there, adidas had one more trick up their sleeve as they enlisted the help of their rookie sensation Dorial Green-Beckham of the Tennessee Titans as he delivered tonal makeups of the ever-so popular adidas Tubular X model that the All-Americans enjoyed during Thursday practice. Featuring a smooth, tan upper, these teams should hit the stadium in style this up-coming Saturday.
To see the entire recap of the adidas Army All-American game festivities be sure to stay locked to Nice Kicks as the episode will air early next week and tune-into NBC this Saturday at 1pm EST as the Army All-American Game will air live.
