Imagine the most luxe adidas sneaker possible. Now double it. That's probably whereabout the Chanel-tinged adidas Ozvenuz shoe lands on the luxe sneaker scale.

It's like the Three Stripes took a gander through the Chanel archives, specifically the luxury maison's quilted leather handbags, and put all of its findings on a cool lifted sneaker. The Ozvenuz wears a completely quilted leather upper that is basically a Chanel Boy bag on feet. 

Underneath, the Ozvenuz sneaker reps a robust, overextended outsole that gives the dad shoe a contorted edge. In addition to the luxe upper, the adidas Ozvenuz also takes cues from another bag trend with a purse-like adidas charm near the eyestay.

Available on the adidas website for $160, this quilted Ozvenuz shoe joins a gaggle of equally sublime Ozvenuz sneakers, including a chromed-out pair and an all-white iteration.

But there is something so inspired by the Chanel-esque quintessence of the adidas Ozvenuz that gives it considerable standing as a forthcoming "It" shoe.

This is supported by the general Chanel-ification of sneakers, like Vans' highly coveted graffiti-covered sneaker, which answers the question: What would a Chanel skate shoe look like? Chane-ne isn't just on the mood board: It is the mood board.

Now obviously, this is not an official collab by any stretch of the imagination. But this does bring to mind a recurring trend within the sneaker world: The allure of non-real collabs. Just take a look at adidas' non-Miu Miu Miu Miu sneaker or Nike's Wales Bonner-ish Killshot 2 Premium.

Official team-ups are cool, but you just can't beat the charm of collaborative sneaker fanfic.
