The love for conchas has reached a new level, thanks to Adidas, which revealed its most recent collection of Superstar sneakers inspired by the Mexican sweet bread.
As soon as Adidas Mexico dropped photos of the concha-style shoe, people did not wait to comment.
The sneakers come in the three colors that represent the most common flavors of this pan dulce, such as strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. The shoe has a fuzzy sherpa texture with gold embroidery for the iconic three stripes that also outline the breads traditional design.
The sneaker has gone through endless changes throughout its 50 years, but the legendary rubber toe cap and jagged stripes have always been part of the aesthetic of this shoe, according the AdidasMX official website.
