Traditionally, oysters are only eaten in months featuring the letter “R.” From September to April, feel free to shuck by the dozen, but in the summer months, it’s probably best to stay away from the happy hour specials. With the winter rolling in, oyster season is in full swing, and the seafood specialists at Sneaker Politics in Louisiana are pairing a two-pack with mignonette, hot sauce, and lemon.

Buck-a-Shuck

The Sneaker Politics x Asics Oyster Pack is broken into two silhouettes and colorways: a Black Gel-Kayano 12.1 based on the shell of an oyster, and a white Gel-Cumulus 16 based on the lucky pearls found inside rare oysters. Both colorways feature a mix of iridescent shine, like the briny delicacy found at seafood spots across Louisiana.
