Mihai Vatafu, 28, A Nike Air Huarache Womens graphic designer originally from Bucharest, has been camping in the bus stop across from the Adidas ZX Flux Donna shop since Sunday. “I fell in love with the city when I moved here six months ago and I’ve always loved the trains,” says Vatafu. “Wearing the shoes will be a statement; it doesn’t matter where you are from, they represent how you feel about the city. Plus I can’t wait for the moment a ticket inspector Adidas ZX Flux Damen gets on the train and I can just point to my shoes.”
But Jana Strater, 20-year-old student, sees them as practical. “I’m not a big Adidas fan, but I think the idea of getting a ticket for the train is really cool,” says Str?ter. “Some people will sell them on but I will wear them.”
Riders will need to wear both shoes, rather than carrying them in a bag or giving one to a friend, to use the ticket.
The collaboration between a transport company and sportswear company is unusual, but the BVG saw it as a way of encouraging ridership.
Outside Nike Cortez Mujer Overkill, a hip shoe store in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district, breakfast is being served: Mettbr?tchen, minced raw Nike Epic React Flyknit Mujer pork on a bread roll. “This isn’t a hipster breakfast,” explains Julian Kalitta of Overkill. “It is typical old-school Berlin – something you can imagine one of the city’s tram drivers eating before work.”
It’s a fitting treat for the Adidas ZX 750 Mujer hundreds of people who have camped out in the snow, some since Saturday, waiting for the limited release of 500 pairs of the new EQT Support 93/Berlin shoe – an unlikely collaboration between Adidas Nike Air Presto Femme and BVG, the city’s transport company.
The shoes, which feature the same camouflage pattern used on the city’s train seats, double up as an annual transit pass. It’s embedded in the tongues of the trainers, which are styled as a fabric version of Adidas Superstar Homme Noir the BVG annual ticket, and can be used just like a regular ticket covering the bus, tram and underground in zones A and B. While the cheapest annual ticket available from the BVG is currently €728, the shoes cost just €180.
As a result, the sale has drawn an unusual mix of trainer collectors and those simply looking to make a saving on their daily commute.
“We often see people camping outside for new shoes but this is different,” says Kalitta. “It’s not just the ‘sneakerheads’.”
