#177 - What's In A Shoe? Justin Brunken Speaks On American Outlaws x Adidas Collaboration

A new collaboration has hit the streets as part of Adidas’ merch drop ahead of the 2026 World Cup. On Episode 177, American Outlaws co-founder Justin Brunken stops by to chat about a cool shoe they have released for members and fans alike. Justin speaks on the inspiration behind the new AO shoe and how they came to collaborate with Adidas to design a shoe to try and bridge the gap between the 1994 World Cup and today. To bring the nostalgia into the modern. It has a limited run of 2,026 pairs and members get the first crack at purchasing the shoe ($95 retail price) before it’s opened to non-members. Adidas also released their Denim collection, including a re-release of the Denim jersey that the USMNT wore at the 1994 World Cup. The American Outlaws worked with World Soccer Shop to allow the option of customizing the AO logo over the left chest and sleeve for fans that want it. It’s part of an aggressive campaign by Adidas to bring back memories of 1994 as people look ahead to this summer.  Don’t forget to follow us on ⁠Bluesky⁠, ⁠Twitter⁠, and ⁠YouTube⁠!
