"Munich's Oktoberfest has long been the pinnacle of Bavarian culture, a celebration of tradition, music, and of course, beer. Yet in recent years, the influx of Italian visitors has added a lively new dimension to the world-famous festival. Locals even affectionately refer to the second weekend as "Italian Weekend," a humorous acknowledgment of the cross-cultural camaraderie that has become part of Oktoberfest lore. With that playful backdrop, German sneaker boutique BSTN has joined forces with adidas to craft a limited-edition release of the München silhouette,"
"The adidas x BSTN München sneakers lean into the spirit of togetherness that defines the event, highlighting how culture, fashion, and celebration often transcend borders. This is most evident in the subtle yet impactful details worked into the design. Both pairs feature "Salute" embroidered into the silhouette, an Italian toast that pairs seamlessly with the Bavarian tradition of raising a stein. The accompanying crest proudly reads "Brindiamo," Italian for "let's raise a glass," further underscoring the celebratory tone."
Munich's Oktoberfest remains a centerpiece of Bavarian tradition and has recently seen a notable increase in Italian visitors, leading locals to nickname the second weekend "Italian Weekend." German sneaker boutique BSTN collaborated with adidas to produce a limited-edition München silhouette in two colorways that blend Bavarian and Mediterranean influences. The shoes incorporate Italian phrases such as "Salute" embroidered on the silhouette and a crest reading "Brindiamo" to celebrate the shared tradition of toasting. Colorways Dark Brown/Dark Green and Taupe/Sage Green draw inspiration from lederhosen, balancing homage to Oktoberfest heritage with playful cross-cultural warmth.
