Your support makes all the difference.Oktoberfest – Munich’s famous beer festival – officially kicks off in a couple of week’s time and to celebrate, sports giant adidas is bringing a brand new shoe to the market.
A local tradition and global institution, it is one of the largest festivals in the world with people flocking to Germany in droves to soak up the cool atmosphere.
But, with all that beer swilling going on you could be soaking up more than you bargained for.
Luckily, adidas have decided to help get the celebrations off on the right foot with a shoe that’s not only inspired by traditional German garb but also completely beer and vomit repellent.
Made from the finest leather, the adidas München is prepared for almost anything that could go wrong during the jovial drinking festivities.
Thanks to its durable puke and beer repellent (DPBR) coating, the classic style promises to withstand the rigors of Oktoberfest and protect your shoes from every beer shower or reveller that might have had one too many.
The München also comes in a rich brown colourway inspired by classic Bavarian leather pants, and features discreet golden lettering that says ‘Prost’ – German for cheers – alongside the traditional three stripes.
But, that’s not all. If you pick up a pair of adidas München, you’ll also be given a complimentary 43einhalb x Rastal beer mug for free.
