The Size? Adidas Originals Birmingham is designed to look like a bar of Cadbury Chocolate with its brown sole and velvet suede colorway mimicking the iconic chocolate's wrapper. 500 pairs of individually numbered shoes are being made and will be released on December 18th. You better hurry across the pond.
