Spanish retail label Sivasdescalzo works in collaboration with adidas on a pair of Sobakov Boost sneakers, reworking the German label's signature Sobakov model. The latest design sits on a signature Boost foundation and it informs the Three Stripes branding on the side, drawing inspiration from 1998, specifically the Predator Accelerator football cleat.
The sneakers arrive alongside a jersey that recalls the 1982 World Cup and its mascot Naranjito, who was a happy orange that references Spain. Additional details of the sneaker include the colorful uppers that recall the mascot, with the character himself adorning the chest of the jersey. The sneaker's construction is made up of white kangaroo leather materials at the tongue and sits on a gum outsole.
