COWABUNGA! This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most iconic franchises in pop culture, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and adidas will be commemorating the milestone anniversary with a TMNT sneaker capsule collection!
First up in this collaboration is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x adidas Superstar Shelltoes edition. Taking design cues from the original 1984 comic book series, this pair of adidas Superstar Shelltoes comes in a green, red, and gum colorway. The upper is covered in a light green textured leather with dark green hits on the back heel tab, sockliner, and inside tongue lining. Red leather Three Stripes branding is on the sides, with the word Shelltoe in gold, replacing the traditional Superstar text.
Continuing, white laces help break up the green base, accented by white tongue tags. The adidas branding on the back heels also comes in white, seen in the original TMNT comic book font, for an extra touch. As we go down to the rubber shell-toe, we get an actual turtle shell graphic instead of the traditional design. All this sits atop a white midsole and a solid gum rubber outsole. But the details don't end there!
The custom red bandana lace dubraes represent the four turtles: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. They all donned red bandanas in the colored prints of the original comics (they didn't receive their colored bandanas until the 1987 cartoon series). The insoles sport co-branded graphics in a pizza-style theme, the turtles' favorite food. Underneath is a NYC city sewer manhole cover on the footbed, synonymous with the home of the quartet and their sensei and father figure, Master Splinter. Two extra sets of laces alongside an exclusive comic book come housed in special packaging reminiscent of the blister packaging of the action figures, which ties everything together.
The first set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x adidas Superstar Shelltoes was released on March 22, 2024, and is now available through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men's sizing, the retail price is set at $130.
