Gold-Tipped Sneakers

The New adidas Pro Model Features Reptillian Skin with Metallic Toe Shells

These gold-tipped kicks received the Midas touch, completing the luxurious look of the new adidas Pro Model style. Playing with a popular reptilian material, these shoes look like they're made from a black alligator skin. The white platform gums raises the sneaker up, giving it a stylish look with contrasting shades. At their very tips, the shoes boast golden toe shells that reflect light and draw attention.

Mixing sporty street wear with a luxurious style, these comfy sneakers look like a high-end product and can be dressed up or worn with casual wear. The reflective toe has been featured in adidas Pro Model and Superstars before but never in combination with the bold animal skin print. With the brand's iconic Triple Stripe in black as well, the logo isn't blatantly apparent like most adidas shoes, however the unique style is still recognizable.
