Despite being heavily abstracted, one can piece together out who these figures are meant to represent during Christmas. The insides of the shoes have bright red insides printed with 'RUN DMC.' A pair of Adidas' Christmas in Hollis Run-D.M.C sneakers go for about $140 on its website and include a pair of black laces.
