The hype for Halloween is heating up (while the weather is cooling down), and in addition to decorations, seasonal candy and, of course, costumes, some brands are joining in the excitement with themed Halloween apparel.
Adidas is one of these brands, releasing a capsule collection of creepily patterned basketball sneakers. Three silhouettes -- the D Rose 6, J Wall 2 and Crazy 8 -- have been given the Halloween apparel treatment. Each edition of the spooky sneakers features a shiny, raised pattern that resembles the texture of human brains. The D Rose 6 and J Wall 2 come in black and purple, respectively, but the Crazy 8 goes fully gory with a fuchsia color that perfectly mimics the color of the extricated organs in a Frankenstein movie.
