Final Anime-Inspired Footwear Releases

adidas Launches the Last Two Dragon Ball Z Sneakers

— December 13, 2018 — Fashion
adidas Originals' run of Dragon Ball Z sneakers was epic and the brand finishes the anime-inspired project strong with two takes on the EQT Support ADV PK silhouettes. Aside from the performance-enhancing features, these two models take aesthetic cues from "the cult Japanese anime series' most iconic character" — Shenrong, the Eternal Dragon who comes forth when all 7 Dragon Balls are collected.

The mid-cut EQT Support ADV PK boasts a green and gold newly-engineered Primeknit upper that holds the foot secure in place, as well as embroidered kanji lettering. The appearance is intended to instill the sense of reptile scales. The second take on the silhouette is incredibly limited and available only through adidas Originals' online store. It boasts an elegant gold color palette on Primeknit with playful embroidered letting and accents.

While the first silhouette launches on December 18th, the later of the Dragon Ball Z sneakers will be made available on December 22nd.
