These luxury sneakers are on the expensive side but are worth it to people who feel national pride towards Japan.
In a collaboration between adidas and Hitoshi Mimura of M.Lab -- who is known for creating shoes that world class athletes use -- the 'adizero Tajumi-Sen Celebration' shoes were created. The shoes are almost completely white and red in color, except for a few black accents that are visible on the base of the shoe. On the back of the red luxury sneakers is the Japanese flag -- a small accent that features a white background with a red circle.
Although these sneakers retail at $1,100, people who can afford them will have vibrant shoes that stand out in a crowd.
