Designed on its Superstar sneaker, the adidas Shell-Toe Shoes come in one colorway, which includes Craft Green, Pantone, and Shadow Green – the colors of the beloved turtle heroes. These shoes are only available via the adidas confirmed app, which can be downloaded via the adidas website – note that no promo codes can be applied when purchasing. Keep reading below to learn more about the adidas Shell-Toe Shoes.

The adidas x Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles Shell-Toe Shoes pay tribute to Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michaelangelo in a myriad of fun ways. The rubber toe design is meant to resemble a turtle shell, and the textured leather is meant to resemble the Turtles’ skin. Where there is normally the word “Superstar” embedded on the shoe, you will find in this pair the word “Shelltoe” in its place and the words “NINJA POWER” on the tongue. Included in the $130 price tag are black and red laces, as well as lace jewels with the first initial of each of the Turtles, allowing you to customize your look with your favorite character. On the bottom of the shoe, hidden beneath the Strobel board is a manhole cover, just like the Turtles use. Additionally, each pair of the Shell-Toe Shoes comes with a reprint of the first-ever Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book issue, written by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.
