Summary:
- adidas and BSTN have collaborated on an Oktoberfest sneaker pack.
- Two festive colourways – inspired by traditional lederhosen – are available.
- The collaboration releases September 13 exclusively at BSTN Munich and online.
Munich’s Oktoberfest is just around the corner, and to celebrate, German sneaker boutique BSTN has teamed up with adidas on a limited-edition footwear collaboration featuring two unique colourways. But this two-part München sneaker release comes with a Mediterranean twist.
In recent years, the growing popularity of the world-famous Volksfest among Italian tourists has become a lighthearted running joke among Munich locals. So much so, that the festival’s second weekend is now affectionately known as “Italian Weekend.”
Leaning into this cross-cultural connection, adidas and BSTN have crafted a design that blends the spirit of Oktoberfest with a playful Italian flair. Each sneaker features ‘Salute’ (Italian for “cheers”) branding on the silhouette, along with “Brindiamo” (“let’s raise a glass”) boldly displayed on the collaboration’s custom crest – a warm nod to the festive atmosphere of family, community, and celebration that defines Oktoberfest.
Still paying homage to traditional Bavarian attire however, the two colourways – “Dark Brown / Dark Green” and “Taupe / Sage Green” – echo the classic design elements of lederhosen ( the knee-length leather breeches typically worn at the festival). And, the subtle embroidery on each heel adds an extra layer of detail, drawing further inspiration from Wiesn culture.
The adidas x BSTN München ‘Oktoberfest’ collection launches on September 13, available at the BSTN flagship store in Munich and online on the brands website.
