Bob Marley x Handball Special - Release in February

Bob Marley's love for the Three Stripes was already legendary during his lifetime. So it comes as no surprise to anyone that adidas is continuing this connection. Following the official launch of the collaboration in 2024 with the SL 72, the collabo is now shifting up a gear - and is clearly looking to the future. The next chapter is called Bob Marley EVO SL and combines musical heritage with modern sneaker design.

Bob Marley EVO SL: colors that tell a story

Optically, the Bob Marley EVO SL is a clear declaration of love to Jamaica and Rastafarian culture. The sneaker comes in rich yellow, while the iconic Three Stripes shine in red, black and green. The whole thing is complemented by darker accents on the collar, which give the shoe a modern depth. The design is eye-catching but not overloaded - just the right mix of statement and everyday practicality.

But it's not just the colors that speak for themselves. The tongue features a graphic design reminiscent of classic black and white silhouettes from the adidas lifestyle archive. It also features Marley's signature and the quote "Football Is Freedom" - a strong symbol of freedom, movement and cultural identity.

Release information on the Bob Marley EVO SL

The Bob Marley EVO SL is set to be released on February 6. The release will be accompanied by another highlight: a Bob Marley-inspired Gazelle Indoor colorway, for which there are no official images yet. So sneakerheads and Marley fans should definitely keep their eyes peeled.

If you don't want to miss a single drop, it's worth taking a look at the free Dead Stock app. It will keep you up to date when the Bob Marley EVO SL or other limited releases go live - without any stress or searching.
