Ben Felderstein After getting denied a job at Nike, Travis Grillo opened up his very own wooden pickle cart, selling two spears for $1 on the streets of Boston a decade ago. Now, the self-proclaimed “World’s Best Pickle” is teaming up with Ewing Athletics to release an intriguing colorway of the Ewing Sport Lite silhouette. Done up in premium suede, this fresh design equips the color of a pickle spear as it base, with panelling from the cart that helped Grillos kickstart his career as well. Cheekily dubbed “The Pickle”, this Sport Lite equips pickle graphics on its heel and outsole as well as serving as the focal of the box’s custom packaging. Further embellishments include clear soles as a nod to farmers market style jars, white laces represent fresh California garlic, and each shoe’s tongues scream “Fresh Grillo’s” to pay further homage to Travis’s burgeoning success. With pairs releasing exclusively on Ewing Athletic’s website on March 4th, enjoy a detailed look at “The Pickle” below and tell us if you’ll be grabbing this unique creation when they drop.
