Adidas look set to launch Game of Thrones-inspired runners and they’re very tidy

Want.

Ok, a list of some Game of Thrones characters that require a decent pair of runners. Gendry when he’s running back to The Wall to warn everyone that the White Walkers have trapped Jon and his raiding party.

Sansa – with the help of Theon – when she fled Winterfell after having enough of Ramsay’s sadistic torture. If you’re going to outrun Ramsay’s soldiers and hounds, you better have a decent pair of kicks on your feet.

Aside from this, we’re certain that Cersei might have enjoyed some cushy runners when she was forced to endure the walk of ‘Shame, Shame, Shame’ following her treatment at the hands of the Faith Militant and The High Sparrow. The close-ups on her feet looked so painful.

On this note, Game of Thrones fans might be able to *walk in the footsteps* of their favourite characters because a rumoured collaboration between HBO and adidas UltraBOOST is on the cards.

The very reputable site Yeezy Mafia are renowned for having the inside track on all things runners-related and they’ve released  a few images of the prototype designs.

Much like these football jerseys, the designs are based on the various Houses in the show and there’s also a Night’s Watch and White Walkers-inspired version too.

What do you reckon?

*You can’t actually walk in the footsteps of the character and truthfully, after seeing some of the shit that has gone down over the last seven seasons, who would want to? Christ, how we miss Game of Thrones!
