sLickster Apr 2013 3:10pm, 11 Apr 2013 1,363 posts	0 sLickster Have to say this current adidas 'boost' campaign is one of the most prolific I've seen in recent years, it's everywhere! Even though for many (most) people the shoe probably isn't suitable - isn't it just available in 'neutral' at the moment? Anyway, back to special editions...any ladies for a Stella McCartney version?!? http://www.adidas.co.uk/Women%27s-Stella-Boost-Shoes/Q35170_540,en_GB,pd.html?cgid=Boost
