Following the successful drop of their oversized “Superstuffed” Superstar sneaker, Adidas and Kerwin Frost are launching two more pairs on November 17: the Forum Hi “Humanchives” and Forum Lo “Benchmate.”

The most bizarre of the duo is the Humanchive Forum Hi, which features a set of plastic eyes, a nose-shaped lace jewel, a plastic mouth full of exposed teeth, and Kerwin Frost branding on the ankle strap.

The other pair is the Benchmate Forum Lo, a colorful silhouette with cartoon graphics that frost says are intended to represent familiar childhood characters — but, instead of being cute, they’re more about offering a sense of surrealism in a fantasy world.

Adidas and Frost’s Benchmates sport a shiny, patent leather look with a loud color combo that will definitely turn some heads whenever you decide to wear them. They just pop, and the quirky graphics are the cherry on top.

If you want a pair of these, Adidas is dropping the Forum Hi Humanchives and Forum Lo Benchmate via its Confirmed app on November 17 for $250 and $180, respectively.
