As cool as these shows might sound, they are going to be hard to slide your feet into. The limited edition Adidas’ will not be sold everywhere. Hype Beast reported that “the shoes were actually released in a very secretive manner during the We Love Green festival in Paris, France.” Approximately only 100 pairs are currently in existence. The French festival was selected to release the shoes since Seu Jorge was on the list to perform. Seu Jorge was a part of the movie and was the musician who sang David Bowie songs in Portuguese in the movie.
We are not too sure if Adidas has plans to release to the general public. For right now, one can only refresh Ebay or hope that one of their Facebook fans in selling the stunning pairs.
