adidas and Kerwin Frost are collaborating on an upcoming collection and fans who follow the comedian on social media recently got a sneak peek at one of the styles. The teased image shows a reworked version of the classic three-stripe sneaker with a pair of eyes, a set of teeth, a nose and even long golden hair.
