adidas and Bob Marley Join on the SL 72 sneaker
Bob Marley's team works together with adidas to create a collaborative pair of the SL 72 sneaker model for the season. It is defined by its rig sole unit and it honors the cultural impact that his legacy has left for the community. The colorway celebrates his Rastafarian heritage as it features hues of green, red, and gold marked at the sole unit.
The upper is crafted from a blend of leather and suede for a premium touch and feel -- this also offers a textural contrast as well. Notably, his gold-scripted signature marks the side of the heel as a special touch of branding. At a closer look, there is a black-and-white image of Marley on the tongue.
