Adidas relaunch of Terry Fox shoes sell out within minutes
On Wednesday morning, a commemorative line of Adidas shoes, honouring the 40th anniversary of Terry Fox sold out within minutes, leaving plenty of disappointed fans.
Adidas announced last week that it would be re-releasing theĀ Orion shoes, the same ones that Fox wore in 1980 during the Marathon of Hope. The navy blue shoes feature “Terry Fox” written near the logo, a 40th anniversary sock liner, commemorative shoelaces, and a special design on the insole.
