Psychedelic 80s-Inspired Sneakers

size? And adidas Join on the New Acid House Collection

Footwear retailer size? works in collaboration with adidas Originals on the exclusive new launch of its Acid House pack. The collection is designed to celebrate a sub-genre or music, specifically house music that gained popularity during the 80s. It also nods to the signature motif of Acid House culture, which is the iconic Smiley face. The new range features the sportswear label’s Yung-1 and Falcon footwear models.

The Yung-1 silhouette is constructed from nubuck, suede, and mesh materials across its uppers. The Falcon sneakers are finished with black leather, nubuck, and mesh materials. Both silhouettes sit on top of a Torsion midsole unit with the Smiley face detail found on its insoles. The Acid House pack will be available for purchase beginning August 24 online at size?
