Milwaukee is still holding on to a championship hangover, but that isn’t slowing down America’s beer belt. After watching the Brewers cruise through the MLB Playoffs to the team’s first-ever World Series championship, Milwaukeeans were hanging from streetlights and chugging more Miller Lites than any group of people has ever chugged before.
Milwaukee’s Wild Moment
Beyond the ballpark, the Brewers' win was marked by a limited-edition Nike Air Force 1 pre-order, and now, Milwaukee’s sneaker run is adding two more pairs, this time from adidas and local boutique SNEEX. Continuing SNEEX owner Eric “Shake” James’ long work with The Three Stripes, the new XLG 2.0 two-pack turns the Squid into the world’s largest monkey, the Mandrill, and Africa’s largest native snake, the African Rock Python. Both pairs glow in the dark, with yellow and green snakeskin on the python pair and blue TPU, red suede, and yellow accents on the Mandrill colorway.
“Each collaboration with adidas is an opportunity to connect creative expression with a larger purpose in our community,” James said. “With ‘Wild Rivals,’ the animal kingdom becomes a starting point for discovery, both in the design of the shoes and in the experiences we create around them. My hope is that people leave with a new perspective, a sense of connection and curiosity that lasts beyond the launch.”
