Written by Tara Larson in Sneakers

The holidays may be in full swing, but cherry blossom season will be here before we know it.

The adidas shoe preserves most of the traditional adidas Superstar design, including the iconic Shell toe, joined by nods to the blossom season. There's the floral embroidery, stunning netted details, and even a translucent cherry blossom graphic on the outsole.

adidas has released cherry blossom-themed sneakers before, including a delicious ZX 8000 pack that dropped over four years ago.

It's time for a fresh bouquet of cherry blossoms for the feet.
