Founded as a continuation to the highly popular Materials of the World, the Adidas Flavours of the World series is inspired by annual cultural, ingredient-based famous events from around the globe. Constructed from luxurious materials and made in limited numbers creating a highly sought after collection and one for any sneaker enthusiast. Each inspired event can be found running through the design of each individual trainer.

The FOTW Americana Lo Lux released in May 2008. Mays Flavour Of The World is inspired by Sanja Matsuri: one of the grandest and wildest Japenese festivals. Sanja Matsuri is a symbolic festival held in the Tokyo area of Japan over three days every year to bring luck, blessings and prosperity to the area and its inhabitants. Boisterous traditional Mikoshi (portable shrine) processions travel enough the streets of Asakusa, accompanied with plenty of drinking, dancing, music and traditional celebration. The beautiful Black and Gold Mikoshi are then carried out of the precincts, taken around the communities and carried back to the shrine in the evening.
