To accompany the Stan Smith with the effigy of Stan Marsh that appeared a few days ago (article available HERE), the German giant ADIDAS expands its SOUTH PARK collection by adding 2 other silhouettes : a Superstar « Kyle » and an NMD R1 « Kenny ».
For the uninitiated, Kyle Broflovski and Kenny McCormick are two of the 4 main characters of the SOUTH PARK animated series. Kyle is a boy who is overprotected by his mother and Kenny, from a poor family, has the distinction of dying at the beginning of each episode of the first seasons.
These sneakers feature a design that references the outfit of these charismatic characters.
The Superstar features a dark green leather upper with an orange tongue and laces. To ensure the homage, the 3 side stripes and the heel tab are dressed in light green fleece imitating the fur of Kyle’s hat. We also find the pocket detail of the pre-teen’s workwear style jacket transposed on the tongue in place of the tag. A co-branded insole and white sole complete the look.
The NMD R1 sports a color palette that references Kenny’s parka. The shoe features an orange upper with brown accents on the inner lining and laces. In a nod to Kenny’s multiple « gruesome deaths », red, black or purple details are scattered across the sneaker, along with the famous « OMGTKK » (OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED KENNY) line. The icing on the cake, the toe box is decorated with grey stitches reminiscent of medical stitches. The whole is based on an orange Boost midsole and a black rubber outsole.
These special silhouettes come in exclusive custom boxes.
The South Park x adidas Superstar « Kyle » & NMD R1 « Kenny » are expected to be released during the first few months of 2022, at select retailers and on adidas.com.
