Slick Terry Fox 40th Anniversary Kicks SELL OUT!
Uhh... Adidas, can we get a size 9 sent to the station?
Today is a huge special day. It’s the 40th anniversary of Terry Fox’s incredible Marathon Of Hope.
Terry is a Canadian ICON and Legend for that incredible running journey and Adidas Canada wanted to honour him!
Terry Fox Foundation and Adidas collaborated together to re-release his shoes: “the Orions”.
He had asked Adidas for some pairs of sneakers prior to his run, and received 26 pairs (he also super glued some of them to stay in place because they would rip and tear).
In 1980, Terry Fox, an amputee, set out to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.
He needed help, so he wrote to Adidas asking for shoes. They sent him 26 pairs.
The company is now re-releasing the same shoes, with all proceeds going to cancer research. pic.twitter.com/DFvz24wYrs
