Embody Your Favorite Hashira With Flashy & Fiery Designs
Adidas is not a stranger to well-done collaborations, andhas produced wonderful designs forSpy x Family, and even Star Wars and Marvel. This time,the Rivalry line has proven themselves yet again with low-rise sneakers that are bold without being overdone, and perfectly capture the characters they’re inspired by. Whether you’re a fan of the daring, iconographic style of Rengoku’s flames or prefer more subtle, minimalistic merchandise like Tengen’s design, you may find a lot to love in these simply effective looks.
Demon Slayer’s Most Heartless Villain Was Never Muzan
One unexpected Demon Slayer villain is even more menacing and unsympathetic than Lord Muzan, the Demon King and first-ever demon.
The three sneakers focus on color blocking and bits of iconography as a nod to character designs. Rengoku’s sneaker sports a brown sole, fiery stripes of red, orange, and yellow, and flames on the back in an homage to the Flame Hashira. Tengen’s features flashy touches of gold and sparkly gems accenting its laces in a perfect nod to the Sound Hashira’s penchant for glamour.
Tanjiro’s focuses on a more humble color-blocking with the bright green of his checkered Haori broken up with black spots and stripes. Attention to detail in coloring in the design of the bottom soles adds a playful yet thoughtful touch to an already excellent creation.
Demon Slayer’s Adidas Collaboration Is A Great Way To Celebrate The Beloved Franchise
Though the bright colors may not be to every fan’s taste, the shoes are a sorely needed addition to the growing trend of anime collaborations. Additionally, their striking coloring offers an excellent representation of the core source material’s bold style.That makes it all the more exciting that they’ve been announced to release so soon.
