Sneaker retailer Snipes has teamed up with adidas to pay homage to NYC’s rich legacy in tattoo culture. To commemorate the city’s connection to modern-day tattooing, Snipes is covering the adidas Superstar in graphic patterns and colors that harken back to traditional tattoo hues.
White leather takes over the profile, covered in a black swirl pattern that mimics the swirl of the Hudson River. Solid white hits are found on the shelltoe, laces, and tongue, the latter featuring golden branding for adidas and New York City via the custom Big Apple graphic. More nods to NYC come via the red apple hang tag, obviously, an homage to the city’s Big Apple nickname, while the red leather heel tab contains a custom NYC logo.
