If you’re one of the few people lucky enough to be traveling to Oktoberfest at the end of September, adidas just dropped the perfect pair of kicks for the occasion. The adidas München “Oktoberfest,” the latest iteration of the popular München reissue, was purpose built for the beer festival to end all beer festivals with premium materials and a special DPBR coating. The DPBR stands for durable puke and beer repellent, which sounds like it’s exactly what is needed in a pair of kicks you’re going to be wearing around Munich during Oktoberfest. But the tie-ins don’t stop there. These shoes also have rich embroidery to match your lederhosen, an inner lining in a red/white micro-check that mirrors the tablecloths and PROST (German for “cheers”) emblazoned in gold on the side next to the contrasting three stripes. The shoes lace up with speckled laces that are the perfect finishing touch on a comfortable pair of shoes that look great and will also protect you from standard beer fest calamities.
