Sneaker Politics is Teaming Up with adidas for a Polka Dot Collab

Politics is never about the black and white of a situation, but the grey area in between. For Sneaker Politics in Louisiana, the boutique’s latest collaboration with adidas does away with the middle ground, switching between black and white polka dots for a flip-flopping two-tone mix with some heavy ska energy.

Dotted with Collab Energy

Previewed in a new Instagram post from the legendary sneaker store, the Sneaker Politics x adidas collab teaser shows a Samba-style T-toe covered in perfectly circular polka dots, with an opposite color combo on the toebox and the rest of the upper. In the black and white image, the T-toe appears black with white dots, while the toebox looks white with black dots.

Of course, because the photo itself is stylized in black and white, we don’t actually know if the color combo is truly black and white, or if there’s a hidden shade of color hiding behind the photo editing tricks. Underneath the shoe, the preview features an electric guitar, bringing out some clear rockabilly-style ska vibes.
