Adidas Superstar Vin “Qing Ming Festival”

Adidas Superstar Vin “Qing Ming Festival”

As they have done previously, Adidas has made another shoe using an event or festival from a specific country. This time, China’s Qing Ming Festival is the central theme in this shoe. These kicks are another in the line of Adidas’ Flavor of the Month.

Qing Ming means “clear and bright”. In April, they enjoy springtime and tend to the graves of departed ones. As it is very windy, kite flying is a very popular tradition as well.

While these are surely not athletic shoes, the detail and color scheme make a very nice looking shoe. Most of the colors used are in the red family (fire engine red, maroon, pink). The shoes are also produced with a vintage look – intentionally aged by using an off white as a base color. If you are of Chinese heritage or you want to celebrate the Qing Ming Festival, considering copping a pair of these kicks.

These are limited, but you can get them at Overkill and other shops for about $170 USD.
