Today’s second Hellboy II: The Golden Army post involves a pretty cool sneaker tie in with Adidas Originals. To commemorate the release of Hellboy II, Adidas Originals is producing “a unique tri-collaboration project” in which they will “launch two sneakers to coincide with the global release of Hellboy II: The Golden Army. The collaboration brings together Adidas Originals, Universal Studios & Guillermo Del Toro, the film’s director, and Dark Horse Comics & Mike Mignola, the original comic book artist of Hellboy.” (link)
The first limited edition sneaker is the Universal Studios x Adidas - Hellboy II: The Golden Army collaboration, the Forum Mid-Golden Army. This shoe is gold, black and white and has “Hellboy lettering across the Velcro strap, with an image of Ron Perlman as the titular demonic anti-hero on the outsole and footbed.” (link)
The second Adidas Original tie-in sneaker is the Dark Horse x Adidas - Hellboy II: The Golden Army Stan Mid-Hellboy. This limited edition “black shoe has the image of Hellboy printed on its side in red” and a slew of additional details like “lace jewels, a mini-comic and unique tongue branding.” (link)
The Forum Mid-Golden Army sneakers are limited to 5,000 pairs and have a suggested retail price of $100. You can find these sneakers at Adidas Originals stores and other selected retailers. The Stan Mid-Hellboy sneakers, on the other hand, are limited to 1,000 pairs and have a suggested retail price of $150. These shoes can be purchased exclusively at Adidas Originals store.
