After the success of last September’s ‘Oktoberfest’ adidas x Crooked Tongues Munchen, legendary shoe designer Markus Thaler (one of the minds behind the legendary ZX range) joined the project to offer his own unique ‘outdoors’ take on the cult silhouette.

A premium material mix, a new approach to panelling, covered tongue, D-Ring fastenings and a forefoot with duck boot design cues are bolstered by some eccentric detailing. As a Bavarian, Markus knows the area’s aesthetic far better than we ever could, and he takes the upper of this late ‘70’s training shape into off-road, woodland territory, set on the familiar cup sole.

Limited to just 150 pairs exclusively from the Crooked Tongues store, the adidas x Crooked Tongues ‘VIP’ Munchen is on sale now.

    It looks like an adidas and takes full advantage of addi dassler’s capacities. made and designed by real sneaker experts not fans.

    Very impressed by the detail and using an original adidas designer on the project….

    While anyone can choose a colorway, I dont think because u have a website or “streetbrand” means u can design a shoe….and why would u want to design an original shoe when u can choose a tested and classi adidas silhouette?! Who can do better than them?!
