Disney and adidas have revealed their latest cartoon character-inspired sneakers of its Stan Smith sneaker model regarding Pinocchio. The sneakers inspired by Pinocchio are the newest addition of Disney characters featured in adidas sneakers, which previously included The Little Mermaid, Lilo & Stitch, and others. Pinocchio was Disney's second animated feature film, released in 1940.
The sneakers feature very few details relating to the themes of Pinocchio. The design of the sneakers contains three black stitched thread stripes that hang on the outside of the sneakers, and the heel tab shows the adidas logo branding with the text "It's not easy being green," split between both sneakers. The sneakers are in off-white leather uppers with burnt red linings. The sneakers contain tongue labels where the right sneaker has the portrait of Stan Smith while the left sneaker has an image of Pinocchio. The sneakers also arrive in a special package sneaker box with an image of Pinocchio. The sneakers will be available in the coming weeks.
