adidas' Archival Climbing Shoe Is Back as a “Zuper” Cool Brain Dead Sneaker
For Brain Dead's next adidas sneaker collaboration, the brand is remixing an archival climbing model into a "zuper" hairy stepper.
Enter Brain Dead's adidas Zuperklimb. It keeps much of the original foundation, but with Brain Dead twists. Off the bat, I noticed the brand dressed the sneakers in the same colorful fuzzy suede as seen on its Forest Hills and Japan Lo collabs. There are also some more luxe hiking-style details, leather Three Stripes, and smooth matte guards on the toe and heel.
Oh, and the Brain Dead pairs come with an updated sole cushioned with adidas' Adiprene technology. It's a classic, remastered and refreshed.
Brain Dead's Zuperklimb shoes land in three colorways: brown, green, and black. What's more, the fuzzed-up climbers are joined by outdoor-focused clothes including cozy pullovers and techy baggy pants. The newest collaboration is slated to release on November 20 on adidas' website and at select stockists.
It's safe to say anything Brain Dead touches turns cool, from bowling shoes to early-2000s climbers. This brand's just got the magic touch.
