Game of Thrones works in collaboration with adidas' SPEEDFACTORY on a pair of AM4 Sneakers themed around the 'Iron Throne' which is an often referenced trope in the television show. The entire series is centered around achieving the royal seat.
The sneakers' silhouette boasts a dark theme, replicating the look of the throne itself. They are also accented with graphics throughout as the transitions from fire to ice are hinted at. The model showcases the Iron Throne digitally printed across the uppers and accompanied by black tape support around the heels before details with the motto reading "For the Throne." The color palette also refers to the show's white walkers with the icy blue color.
