adidas & Moon Boot Frankensteined Their Signature Shoes Together
Moon Boot and adidas' new collaborative sneakers present the best of both brands, Frankensteined together.
Dubbed the adidas x Moon Boot BOOST sneaker boots (try saying that five times fast), the shoes are equipped with adidas' signature tech alongside Moon Boot's puffy, insulated shape. They're what I imagine people will be rocking when lunar tourism becomes a thing.
"This collaboration is the ultimate fusion of slopes and streets, where legendary comfort meets cutting-edge tech," Mirko Massignan, General Manager at Moon Boot, tells Highsnobiety.
Equipped adidas' BOOST cushioning — the absurdly comfy technology behind the hypest sneakers of the mid-2010s — alongside adidas' Torsion System for increased stability, the bottom half of the design has the performance of a modern-day running shoe. However, that certainly can't be said of the rest of the shoe.
"Imagine slipping into the cozy hug of a Moon Boot with the powerhouse sole of Adidas Boost beneath you – warmth meets performance in every step!" shares Massignan.
Water-resistant fabric emerges on the shoe's upper, wrapped around insulating padding — a sure-fire combination for warm, dry feet in the depths of winter.
The shoes, which come as a hi-top boot and mid-top sneaker, are clearly imbued with Moon Boot's winter boot DNA. However, the rest of the collection sees the brand expand into new areas.
Moon Boot’s first-ever apparel drop, a range of sportswear featuring some classic Moon Boot puff, is also part of the adidas collection arriving on November 7.
"With ready-to-wear in the mix, Moon Boot is stepping into a whole new orbit, bringing its iconic style beyond winter boots and into everyday life," says Massignan. "It’s warmth, it’s performance, it’s the whole thing — it is so good I wish there will be more to come."
