Dada C4

Dropped 20 years ago in 2002, Dada's C4 sneakers are still remembered for their out-of-the-box design. After their release in 2002, the sneakers became the talk-of-the-town for their outlandish design. Chris Webber’s nickname Webb was embossed on the C4 sneakers, in a hard panel of metallic silver on the side of the shoe. To fix the silver plates an anchor was created for hits of silver all over the place.

The pedestrian sneakers looked bulky, with a brawny design.

Nike x Tom Sachs Yard Overshoe

Originally launched in October 2018, these collab sneakers were priced at $508 USD. Nike had joined hands with designer Tom Sachs for the Mars Yard Overshoe.

Undoubtedly, the design looks quite weird at first. The upper body is made of waterproof Dyneema, which has dual Fidlock buckle closures, along with a modern SFB sole unit. The design is inspired by the wet March weather. In addition to rubber foxing, it also had a toe bumper and a sticky rubber outsole.
