For those who say street style and the Muppets don't go together, the Adidas Originals Animal kicks will prove doubters wrong. The Adidas Originals Animal is the second shoe to come out of the Adidas and Muppets collaboration, with the first one being the Kermit the Frog Superstar II.
The Adidas Originals Animal is less intense than the previous Kermit shoe. This high top features subtle nods to Animal in the form of his face of the tongue and a furry orange lining on the inner. Metal studs have also been placed on the the ankle strap, perhaps as a nod to Animal's rocking ways from his days in the Muppet band. The release date of the Muppet movie is approaching, and I would expect to see more Adidas Muppet shoes released before the film drops.
Muppet fans with style, rejoice.
