adidas' Smoking Hot Tobacco Sneaker Is (Almost) Literally Addicting
It's no secret that smoking has weaseled its way back into our collective consciousness of cool.
This tobacco-infused takeover can be blamed on aspirational figures like Kylie Jenner, Jenna Ortega and — adidas?
Yup, the Three Stripes has taken its talents to the all-addicting world of nicotine with its thin and crisp Tobacco sneaker. The shoe’s rich brown leather upper blends in seamlessly with the butterscotch outsole, giving the retro sneaker a tonal temperament that's borderline addicting.
First released in 1972, adidas' Tobacco sneaker landed on the scene as a slim luxury sneaker, a deviation from its flat-shoe brethren that were designed for sporting purposes.
Where more popular flat adidas sneakers like the Samba and the Gazelle were designed for soccer and track, respectively, the Tobacco sneaker was designed for a much greater purpose: Chilling.
A bonafide chill guy, the soft suede Tobacco sneaker, available online for $100, is the wearable equivalent of a mid-shift smoke break. It's like that meme of Ben Affleck exasperatedly smoking a cigarette — for your feet.
While it dominates no fields to speak of, adidas' Tobacco sneaker has found quite the lane as a general cool guy.
Tobacco: Great for your feet. Your lungs? Well, less so.
