With a name like Ransom Valley, we can’t fault you for thinking of a bad Mel Gibson movie you will ultimately be goaded into seeing through on-demand. Truth be told though, these Adidas kicks have at least one thing in common with the only actor more insane than Nicolas Cage – they’re outspoken. The muted green colorway on this midtop would be enough to sell us on the shoe, but the orange contrast on the interior and the laces really take it to the next level. The bomber nylon in the Adidas Ransom Valley won’t turn you into a pro basketball player, but it will definitely make you look better than you do in some beat up Cons.
