It’s a zany bunch, right? The adidas Ballin’ Dead Pack is reminds of a 1990s Nickelodeon network color scheme, but it’s really different and unusual, which is perfect for Halloween. You’ve probably seen all of these before — the D Rose 6, D Lillard 1, and Crazy 8, all by adidas — but they’re not in the typical forms in which you’re accustomed.

Just in time for Halloween, adidas today unveiled the “Ballin’ Dead” pack, featuring zombie-inspired editions of the D Rose 6, D Lillard 1 and Crazy 8.

D Rose 6

The D Rose 6 features a core black upper embossed with a reflective zombie brain pattern that bleeds onto a pink STABLEFRAME midsole. Green drip graphics overlay adidas branding on the tongue, complementing the glow-in-the-dark outsole and D Rose logo prominently displayed on the heel. Pink hits at the toe cap and FITFRAME heel cage contrast the silhouette’s deep purple accents for a haunting look.

Crazy 8

Designed to show out in the dead of night, the Crazy 8 edition features an all-pink upper with a zombie brain print overlay. This adidas classic is hit with a slime green and purple splattered midsole, glow-in-the-dark outsole and three stripe branding paired with green drip graphics. Purple laces designed with glow-in-the-dark flecks are matched by purple mesh lining and pull tabs, while cross bones and a “Night of the Ballin’ Dead” graphic, both displayed on the tongue, lock this Halloween silhouette down.

D Lillard 1

The D Lillard 1 features a two-tone upper with core black hues and a slime green base running from heel to toe. A glow-in-the-dark midsole with pink splatter oozes to the outsole, while a reflective brain pattern overlays the dark silhouette. The pink lace system and heel pull tab contrast purple accents and glow-in-the-dark finishes.

Dame also delivered a Halloween-inspired #4BarFriday featured in the sockliner:

October 31st…the zombies coming out the dirt

Face mask cover skins the same way it covers hurt

A disguise for the day, be someone else for what it’s worth

A time to be who you would like for once on God’s Green Earth

The D Rose 6 ($140), Crazy 8 ($110) and D Lillard 1 ($105) drop Halloween at adidas.com.
