Without a doubt, the shell is one of the most popular sweet breads among Mexicans. There are several varieties: those filled with cream, those with chocolate, those with vanilla, etc. But, had you imagined the possibility of wearing them as sneakers? It is now a possibility, since Adidas launched a new tennis model that resembles vanilla shells and chocolate.
Although they are actually called SuperstarIn Mexico these tennis shoes were already baptized as “shells”. It is a classic Adidas model that has undergone some changes without losing its essence: rounded toe with rubber relief that resembles a sea shell. They also continue to have three stripes on the front.
With that same base model, Adidas decided to reinterpret the shell in the Mexican style. He joined the traditional stripes with other smaller ones and put velvet on the tennis lining. This resulted in tennis shoes shaped like traditional bread.
This edition of Superstar will be limited, so if you want to get a pair of these sneakers we recommend doing so as soon as possible. The launch has been very discreet, but the shells can now be purchased on the Adidas website and App for $2,399 Mexican pesos.
It should be noted, this is an official release, not a collaboration with a bakery or some intervention, so the sneakers have value for collectors. According to the German company, it seeks to pay homage to shells, the bread that is part of the daily diet of millions of Mexicans.
