Korean streetwear imprint YESEYESEE works together with Adidas to create a new variation of the latter's Country sneaker model. The shoes are defined by their folded over tongue and bright colorway palette. The tongue section covers most of the laces and even spills over to the sides of the shoe.
It comes in two colorway options starting with the highlighted blue color or black or a more muted look. The blue was selected due to the retro aesthetic that it embodies and it is seen through the apparel offerings too. It is unveiled at the YESEYESEE flagship store location in Seoul today. These were showcased along with a football-inspired capsule collection, with plans to release a wider series at a later date.
