Counterfeit sneakers from foreign lands have increasingly plagued the sneaker market in recent years, but we haven’t seen any designs directly reference this phenomenon. And you won’t find any kind of praise for piracy in this latest drop from adidas Basketball, though its story does hinge on a man who became famous for a document some scholars believe could have been an outright forgery. The adidas adiZero Rose Dominate pictured above is the real deal, this crisp army green ‘Lei Feng’ edition taking their military look from by a Chinese soldier who came to be the poster boy for the PRC’s propaganda campaigns. These go quite a bit deeper into their Far East inspiration than your average Chinese New Year release, and with China’s economy and population both continuously growing, it’s likely we’ll start to see more unique stories like these earn some time in the spotlight. Check out more of the ‘Lei Fing’ adiZero Rose Dominate and let us know where these rank against the all-time great military-inspired sneakers. via HC
