Wes Anderson worshippers will now be able to get their hands on the Adidas Zissou shoes featured in his hit movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Available on the filmmaker's website, the limited edition footwear are hand-painted original Adidas shoes, making each pair custom.
The Adidas Zissou shoes are the same ones worn by Bill Murray and his team in the cult classic from 2004. The men's sneakers feature the name 'Zissou' in gold lettering, with bright yellow laces and three stripes in the appropriate shades of blue. Only 100 pairs were created and were available through the We Love Green festival in Paris, and as such are unfortunately not available for retail. However, eagle eyed fans will surely find a way to acquire them.
