There’s a part of you that’s always longed to ride a jet ski. To cruise along the waves of popular holiday destinations, avoiding the crowds. To spend the afternoon exploring secret coves inaccessible from the land.
But the glamour of it all has always kept you away. Perhaps it was DJ Khaled snapchatting his experience of being stranded at sea on his jet ski, or a feed full of eternally-sunned influencers effortlessly canoodling on them.
For years, closeted jet ski fans have been screaming, nay revving, for jet skis to become a little bit more accessible to the mortals.
Cue the ‘sneaker-ski’: the jet ski that looks like a giant shoe.
German sneaker and graffiti store Overkill has proven there’s no such thing as marketing overkill with its extra AF shoe launch.
The sneaker jet ski recently tore through the Spree river and Landwehr Canal in Berlin in a bid to promote the new Adidas ZX8000 Aqua, a limited-edition release in the ZX collection. The new iteration of the 1989 classic shoe is being released as part of the brand’s 30-year anniversary of their Torsion System technology, the supportive link between the forefoot and heel.
The popular store has essentially been an emporium for urban style since 2003, selling sneakers, streetwear and graffiti equipment.
The shop is known for its range of sneakers – there are more than 500 in its collection – and also frequently run limited-edition shoe releases. You know, the kind of events people camp out the front of the store for.
Overkill has more than 320,000 followers on Instagram, and it recently posted a video of the sneaker ski, clocking nearly 19,000 views.
For all those seeking a jazzy bit of footwear, the sneaker will be released on 16 November 16 2019.
Screw the shoe. We want that damn jet ski.
