These Shoes Are Inspired by Performance-Enhancing Drugs

Yes, this is another sneaker tied to this summer's 2016 Olympics in Rio. But, thankfully, the shoe avoids the cliche approach of a patriotic colorway and instead speaks to the darker side of global sports with a design referencing performance-enhancing drugs.

The Diadora IC.4000 "Yellow Eyes," designed by sneaker shop Hanon, nods to those athletes who arrive for competition with a little something extra in their veins. The shoe mixes yellow and blue and has eyeball hits on its heel, tongue, and liner.

This Diadora sneaker from Hanon will release first at its home store on Aug. 6, 2016.
