You’ll never see any of the Game of Thrones characters wearing sneakers, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t have sneakers based on them. HBO and sportswear giant adidas have teamed up to celebrate the eighth and final season of the TV adaption of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books, with these sneakers based on the houses and characters of Westeros.
The collection is comprised of six limited-edition Ultraboost 4.0 running sneakers, with each pair designed to represent the characteristics, colors, and details of these characters.
Choose from Night’s Watch, White Walker, House Targaryen Fire, House Targaryen White, House Stark, or House Lannister designs. The sneakers don’t just look cool, they’re designed for serious running with BOOST midsole technology for unlimited energy return, a Primeknit upper for lightweight performance, and heel counter for adaptability and support.
“The shoes feature subtle references to the different warring factions of Westeros. Details include their faction’s sigil on the tongue and motto on the heel tag. House motifs inspired by the show come together to create bold and distinct colorways, the adidas x Game of Thrones Ultraboost silhouettes fuse performance-oriented footwear technology with a striking and cultural visual aesthetic.”
They will be available on March 22, 2019 at adidas.com, and via the adidas app for $180. You can sign up here to be notified the second the shoes are available. Better get yours quick before they run out.
