This is the Japanese version of the "City Series," a collection of sneakers by adidas themed on major cities around the world. As the first step in the series, two models of "Sapporo," each created by adidas, are now on sale.
The base was "Munich," which was released in 1972 to coincide with a sports festival held in Munich. It was featured this time because of its sister city with Sapporo.
The pair by "Billy's" is inspired by the image of a certain whiskey aging barrel famous for its neon sign and the bricks of the "Red Brick Town Hall," a famous historical site. Leather and hairy suede are used for the upper, and cork is used for the insole, creating a calm and mature atmosphere. The model name "Sapporo" is debossed in a discreet manner, which is a nice touch.
SAPPORO BROWN/BROWN ¥16,500
On the other hand, "size?" is based on the image of "Fever Nova," the official ball of the 2002 World Cup held in Japan and Korea. The color scheme is similar to that of the "Sapporo TV Tower," although it is not clear if this was the intention. The vivid colors give color to your feet.
SAPPORO GREEN/PURE RUBY ¥16,500
