Behind the Design: Politics x Adidas 'Red Snapper'
November 13, 2025
Politics continues its partnership with Adidas by drawing from the everyday rhythm of Louisiana’s Gulf Coast. The Politics x Adidas Adistar HRMY ‘Red Snapper’ draws inspiration from the fishing culture, the shoreline colors, and the easy-going coastal life that is full of energy. Picture early mornings on the water, boats easing out of the marina, and a community that moves with the tides.
Bright and unmistakable, the Red Snapper has been a Gulf favorite for generations. People know it for its clean, flaky flavor and the thrill of the catch. It lives in deeper waters, grows to impressive sizes, and shows up in local stories as much as it does on dinner plates. Whether you are a seasoned angler or just out for a weekend trip, the Red Snapper has a way of making a day on the water feel special.
That same spirit runs through the shoe. Its red tones and playful touches capture the energy of the fish without trying to copy every scale or line. Small details like the market-style price tag and mismatched insoles nod to the Red Snapper’s look and life. The semi-translucent heel branding between Politics and Adidas keeps the story grounded and tied to the coast.
Red Snapper season is a highlight along the Gulf, bringing people out on boats, laughing with friends, and chasing the perfect catch. Fishing is not just about the fish, it is the ride, the wait, and the stories that come with it. Some fish end up on the table, others get released, but all of them keep Gulf culture alive. By weaving this story into the Adistar HRMY, the shoe celebrates a tradition, a community, and a way of life that has been carried forward for generations.
