Carnival is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a special collaboration alongside adidas, unveiling the limited “Pingora Hyperturf” Friends & Family edition. Not for sale and only earned, the hybrid sneaker merges elements from two classic adidas outdoor models. Featuring a zip-covered Weatherguard upper from the Pingora atop the Hyperturf’s sole unit, the design combines adiprene+ cushioning and FORMOTION technology for enhanced comfort and stability. The trail-ready silhouette debuts in a sleek Putty Grey colorway and anchors the “Forest Park” pack, a trio of designs created for the milestone.
To commemorate the launch, Carnival and adidas will host an exclusive 8K trail run on August 9 at Khao Teen Kai in Nakhon Nayok. Runners will gather at the Flagpole Grounds of the Forest Nursery Station, tackling a scenic yet demanding course starting at 07:30. Participation is open only through online registration, with entries selected via lottery and confirmed by August 7. adidas Terrex footwear is mandatory for all runners, with loaner pairs available on-site. Hydration packs and a strong fitness level — specifically a “Good” VO₂ max rating — are also required, reinforcing the event’s focus on performance and preparedness.
