It's Friday and the first day of November. That means it is time for some new sneakers to celebrate the upcoming college basketball season. Many top programs have already tipped off their year with midnight madness events with the help of adidas.

This morning, adidas Basketball expanded its ongoing collegiate partnership by releasing a range of new Centennial 85 Low colorways, inspired by their bold university designs, released on November 1.

The adidas Centennial 85 Low was originally introduced in 1985 and has been reimagined to celebrate the future of the game while capturing the spirit and pride of college basketball.
