Legendary hip-hop group, House of Pain, made a special side trip from their current tour to visitBoston, MA yesterday in celebration of their Adidas x House of Pain collaboration sneaker for St. Patrick’s Day. As we reported previously, the group worked with Concepts on a green Adidas Campus sneaker to celebrate the holiday. As well as the Campus sneaker, a special t-shirt by Slick from Dizzisit, who was also in attendance, was developed.

After the Concepts event, House of Pain performed a private St. Patrick’s Day show at the Roxy in downtown Boston – one hell of a special treat on the holiday of the Irish. (photos credit: Daniel Vogelzang)

adidas Originals and hip-hop group House of Pain collaborated for a special edition St. Patrick’s Day shoe called the Campus 80 House of Pain.  House of Pain member Danny Boy O’Connor contributed design concepts and feedback while adidas designers brought the shoe to life.

The green, gold and white color way of the Campus 80 House of Pain shoe was inspired by the band’s Irish heritage.  The band’s iconic crest, first introduced on the debut album, “House of Pain,” is featured on the tongue.  The deep vintage suede exterior completes the classic look. The sneaker is limited to 1500 pairs worldwide.

Concepts will be hosting the launch event in Boston on March 17th, providing live music and drinks. Concepts also created a Boston Celtics Jersey in collaboration with adidas and House Of Pain, that will be released at the event, along with the sneakers.
