Some may think they're gone, but the shoes actually got moved across the street next to the soccer field!

[Victor Park, 08/23/2024]

Unlike the shoes' old spot, the new one isn't clearly visible from the street, which helps to explain why people thought that they'd vanished.

Adidas Giant Shoes

Adidas Village has two giant Superstar Adidas shoes on display. The shoes are 15 feet long and are part of the "Left Right Project". Artists from the east and west coast each painted one of the shoes, and they have been installed at Adidas America Headquarters, Adidas Village in Portland.
