Upper Playground Volume II Adidas Originals Sneaker Line: David Choe



On July 24th, Upper Playground will be releasing the new David Choe Adidas Originals sneaker. The second release of the four part series is the Stan Smith shoe. The series also includes designs from Aesop Rock and Same Flores.

Muralist and graphic artist, native Los Angeles David Choe, has designed and produced apparel, comic books, movie posters, album covers, fine art books and toys, among many other projects. Choe has collaborated with companies such as Electronic Arts, Levi's, Sony Pictures, and now Adidas.



"I wanted to convey a mixture of serial killers, ninjas, nightmares, and Ice-T lyrics," commented David Choe about his new sneaker.

He is currently the star of a feature documentary on his life called "Dirty Hands." The film documents Choe as a young near-schizophrenic street artist that devises numerous criminal schemes that allow him to hitchhike across the globe. You can find more details of the film HERE

There are only 500 pairs of the Choe sneakers available worldwide ranging in sizes from men's size 4 to 13.5. To pick up your fresh pair of David Choe Stan Smith sneakers, visit the Upper Playground site HERE or head over to a UP retail store. The sneaker will go on sale online at 8 am PT on the 24th.
