Last year, Brain Dead<\/a> did something that nobody saw coming. Right in the middle of the boom<\/a> of boxing shoes and football boots<\/a> and trail runners<\/a>, the LA streetwear label linked up with Adidas for the Bowling<\/a>\u2014a literal bowling shoe dug out from deep in the Three Stripes archives.<\/p>\n

That felt like a left-field choice on the surface, but the execution made total sense. Decked out in simple black leather, the shoes couldn\u2019t have looked cleaner or more instantly appealing. Now, 20 months later, the Brain Dead x Adidas Bowling is back. And this time, it\u2019s completely off the leash.<\/p>\n

Brain Dead<\/p>\n

Dubbed the \u201cAnimal Pack\u201d (for obvious reasons), the silhouette now comes wrapped in two absolutely insane makeups, including a hairy leopard-print one and a minty green faux snakeskin version. Both come with clean white stripes stitched across the sidewalls, a smooth sole that\u2019s designed for a bit of tenpin, and a Brain Dead x Adidas hangtag that was made exclusively for this drop.<\/p>\n

The timing couldn\u2019t be better. This year, animal prints took over. Onitsuka Tiger<\/a> went all in with wild Mexico 66 colorways. Wales Bonner<\/a> and Adidas have been experimenting with snakeskin textures. Dolce & Gabbana<\/a> even linked up with Diadora for leopard-covered sneakers. After a full year of flat, minimal trainers, the sneakerverse has remembered that having fun exists. If last year\u2019s Bowling was the gateway drug, this is the full-blown fever dream.<\/p>\n
