Festive Character-Themed Sneakers

adidas Presents a New Grinch Colorway of the Forum Lows

German sportswear giant adidas presents the latest tonal update of the Forum Low sneaker model with the new Grinch colorway palette. The shoes celebrate one of the most notable Christmas characters that are the Grinch. It is detailed with a range of green tones throughout the entire silhouette starting with the cozy terry lining at the interior.

It is highlighted by the hairy suede upper to add to the theme in terms of the textiles as well. Additional details include the Grinch's eyes that are seen on the tongue tag peeping over the shoe and the signature Velcro strap. Rounding out the design are the neon tones that detail the laces, branding accents, and the sole unit.
