Designer Sean Wotherspoon showcases his latest sneaker design with the Superturf Adventure SW sneaker model. It is a three-way collaboration that works with Disney and adidas Originals. The shoe is the first original in-collaboration piece as the previous projects have all taken an existing silhouette as the foundation.
The new sneaker is entirely made with sustainability in mind. The show is made using conscious materials and full vegan make-up as it uses recycled materials and alternative vegan options in place of animal-derived materials or ingredients. The color palette includes Halo Amber, Mesa, and Glory Purple. The upper is made from purple corduroy materials at the base foundation and is complete with speckled orange accents and a blue eyestay placket.
