The collaboration between LEGO and Adidas continues actively with the announcement of a new wave of basketball-themed products scheduled for October 19, according to the above teaser posted by the manufacturer.

Adidas for its part already sold the wick a little about this new collaboration via the version of his online store which serves the Philippine market: we have some visuals of t-shirts featuring several NBA players, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell and Trae Young, in minifig format. The published teaser lets imagine that sneakers will also be in the game.

I see some who already imagine being able to afford one day the real minifigs present on these t-shirts, but for the moment nothing is going in the direction of a future commercialization of these figurines.

A little reminder for those who are fans of sneakers from the collab between LEGO and adidas: the pair of Superstar in LEGO version (GW5270) will be available for sale from tomorrow Friday, July 30 at 10 a.m. on the official website from the sports equipment manufacturer.

You have to be there on time, sneak between the bots that will try to grab the stock in a few seconds and manage to spend the modest sum of 140 € to afford a pair of these shoes including "... the iconic shell-toe and heel patch are transformed to look like LEGO® toy baseplates, and remind you to take your creativity wherever you go ...". An entire program.

Good luck to those who will attempt to nab. Come back and tell us if you managed to get a pair.

If you have not yet taken advantage of the offer that currently allows you to obtain a copy of the LEGO set 40486 adidas Originals Superstar From 95 € of unrestricted purchase of range on the official store, know that this offer which was initially to end on July 14, has been extended until July 20, 2021.

It will therefore still be active during the period during which the VIP points will be doubled on the Shop, from July 12 to 18, and it will then be possible to combine the two offers.

Note that the offer that currently allows you to be offered the LEGO polybag 30387 Bob Minion With Robot Arms from 40 € of purchase in products from the Minions range has also been extended until July 20.

All these offers will obviously be finished by the launch of the new products expected for August 1, but if you still have a few boxes from the first wave to add to your collection, the week of July 12 to 18 will therefore be the one that allows to accumulate all these offers, if the stock of shoes and polybags is not exhausted by then.

Today we take a quick look at the small serves currently offered from € 95 purchase and without range restriction on the official online store: the LEGO reference 40486 adidas Originals Superstar with its 92 pieces and its minifig disguised as a shoebox.

We are not going to lie, fortunately this product valued by LEGO at 12.99 € is offered, knowing that the minimum purchase required for it to be automatically added to an order is rather substantial. The box is pretty, it changes us a bit from the usual packaging, but the content does not in my view justify paying for one or more sets at a high price at LEGO.

The mini shoe to assemble is in my opinion even more successful than the one in the set 10282 adidas Originals Superstar (€ 99.99) marketed since July 1st. A white 4x4 plate out of the LEGO Super Mario universe on the front, a few pneumatic tips to tie the laces and six roughly white bands on the sides, the result is almost convincing.

The difference in color between the white surface of the bands and the rest of the parts is, however, unforgivable for a derivative product so worked out and the presence of two stickers does not help matters. It is the box that makes the product "sell", LEGO has put the package on the packaging and has not made the effort to pad the two elements bearing the logo of its partner ...

The minifig delivered in this box with a microphone and a boombox reuses the torso of one of the figurines sold in 2018 in the series 18 (ref. 71021), which here becomes a shoebox thanks to the addition of a plate on which we stick a sticker. It's original, the effect is there.

In short, if you do not want to treat yourself to a LEGO product in the glory of the brand adidas invoiced 100 €, you can always keep on your shelves a souvenir of this collaboration between the two brands by taking advantage of the offer in course which should in principle last until July 14th. If you want to get a pair of mini shoes, you will have to try a second separate order, hoping that LEGO will deliver you a second small promotional set and not remove it from your new order with the motif "One set per household".

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at July 18, 2021 next at 23pm. For newcomers, know that you just need to post a comment to participate in the draw.

Update : The winner was drawn and was notified by email, his nickname is indicated below. Without a response from him to my request for contact details within 5 days, a new winner will be drawn.

If you have extra VIP points and you like adidas sneakers but not to the point of spending € 99.99 for the LEGO version and € 140 for the real ones, be aware that LEGO is putting into play a bundle containing a copy of the set 10282 adidas Originals Superstar  and a real pair of adidas Originals LEGO Superstar sneakers on the VIP rewards center.

Unfortunately, this "collector's pack" does not contain the small promotional set. 40486 adidas Originals Superstar currently offered from 95 € purchase without restriction of range.

You can participate in the raffle by "buying" up to 50 tickets for 50 VIP points each. You have until July 22 to decide, the draw will take place on July 30.

If you no longer have VIP points, know that you can still participate in the draw by taking a quiz which can be found in section "Earn more points"VIP area.
