Shoe lovers out there have a great-many things to rejoice about,Pick your pride : Adidas LGBT Collection Articles and if you’re pro-LGBT, it’s even better. Adidas has recently introduced three rainbow-coloured hues of its shoes for this LGBT Pride Month.

The Superstar, the Adilette Slide and the Stan Smith are three of its iconic models that are rebranded for this Pride Month. The flag of the LGBT that represents “a symbol of equality and inclusiveness that signifies the diversity of the LGBT community” is the main source of inspiration for their refreshingly unique designs.

In 2013, we saw that Nike had its own campaign with the name #BeTrue that had rainbow-inspired designs and the proceeds from the event reached the LGBT Sports Coalition community. Adidas has also sponsored an event for Portland Monthly called Flare, which is a Pride event that took place on June 11.

Adidas has recently introduced the Pride pack, showcasing its solidarity with the LGBT (Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community for being in the vulnerable situation in the past couple of months, starting from the Orlando incidents. The Pride pack essentially throws a multitude of colours splashed upon together that indicates the versatility of a rainbow-with all its colours in its full glory.

Let us look at the unique features of the new collection that makes it eye-candy for all of us who love eccentric and sensational design patterns around us:

  1. The Heel and the insoles :

The shoes, which come in a bright blue box and as you unbox these bad boys, you can’t help getting a shock: one of the good kind. The shoes’ insoles are coloured differently and the pair looks contrastingly indifferent to every other pair you see out in the world. The heel of this model is quite prominent and feels strongly supporting as you walk with ease. The shoe makes a great pick for your casual mood.

  1. The Welt and the colours :

The welt and the heels connect so well and they look incredibly unique. The plethora of colours extend well below and the sprayed look of a mix of colours give a funky, trendy outlook and makes all the young guys love it in first sight. Bright hues of yellow and orange together with neutral, interwoven bands of violet and green replaces the old-style classic of shiny back stripes in sneakers.

  1. The Shell-toe :

The Shell-toe of the sneaker model remains the same and made from rubber following suit with its historic design and also resembles the pattern we often find among the shells.


One of the comments we often receive for the Adidas LGBT shoe collection is that once it is worn, the heel feels so light that it almost feels like the shoes are too loose for your feet. Depending upon the person you ask, this could be either “the ultimate factor for comfort” or “the only flaw”. So buy Adidas superstar shoes now!
