adidas and Kerwin Frost are collaborating on an upcoming collection and fans who follow the comedian on social media recently got a sneak peek at one of the styles. The teased image shows a reworked version of the classic three-stripe sneaker with a pair of eyes, a set of teeth, a nose and even long golden hair. As Frost describes, "I just want to make things fun again, you know what I mean... just making it fun, wearable."
Although it's not clear what the finished version of the collaboration will entail, fans are already speculating that this is a play on the idea of a "horse shoe," since the quirky spin on a classic sneaker has big teeth and a long mane.
