The Adidas Olives are a continuation of the brand's choice to release sneakers that are inspired by geographic locations, or specific to them.
The brand first released the 'Red Apple' as an homage to New York City and its newest pair of shoes draws inspiration from Europe. This is likely due to the heavy use of olive oil in many European countries. The Adidas Olives take after their name with their color, with every part of the shoe being a different shade of deep green except for the white and gray base.
These shoes will only be made available in Europe, adding to their exclusivity in more ways than just their sophisticated and minimalist aesthetic.
