Brain Dead works in collaboration with adidas Originals to introduce the Lefty shoe, bringing the brands to new sports angles. The bowling shoes are complete in a monochromatic colorway of white and black starting with white as the base foundation and then detailed with smooth black accents on top. The two shine a spotlight on the unique construction that is specifically catered for those who are left-handed.
Brain Dead notes in an Instagram post, "The white colorway's right foot has slick leather slider sole, while the left foot has traction rubber sole with leather tip." The Lefty bowling show is officially set to drop on June 11 and can be shopped online at Brain Dead's website.
