Robin (and others!),
Shape this month has listed under “The Hot List” scented sneakers from Adidas. Apparently “each pair comes in a bright color with a coordinating fragrance (for example, the purple ones emit a subtle grape aroma).” Eww, but how could I not share! 🙂
Weirdly, I tried to find a link, and I can’t find them anywhere online. . .so maybe they haven’t be released yet. Anyway, if someone’s interested, they are listed in Shape as “Adidas Fruit Salad Boat CC Lace shoes.”
Thanks so much! I will have to keep an eye out for those. Bet you’re right and they’re just not out yet.
