If you love the Masters and all-white kicks, adidas has a golf shoe for you.
The three-striped shoe company is breaking out a special pair of their Boost golf shoe to honor the pimento cheese sandwich all your friends who have been to Augusta National have undoubtedly raved about.
The shoe itself looks pretty clean, with the pimento cheese motif hidden on the sockliner. The rest of the upper is white, which is supposed to honor the sandwich’s white bread. The green accents on the heel and sole pay homage to the course and the green jacket golfers receive if they will the Masters tournament, the course’s signature event.
What we really need are a special edition pair of Yeezeys that celebrate both Kanye West and delicious cheeses. A Cheezy Yeezy, if you will.
So what’s all the fuss about a cheese sandwich, you ask? For starters, it’s super cheap. A sandwich runs you $1.50 at the Masters, where everything is notoriously inexpensive.
The history of the sandwich itself is surprisingly interesting. For example, they changed the recipe for the sandwich in 2013 and an ESPN writer penned an entire column about it. You can make one for yourself if you’re not sure what all this buzz is about.
Needless to say, it’s a pretty important sandwich if you like watching folks play golf. And if you occasionally hit the links for yourself, you may have a new shoe in your future. Adidas is putting these bad boys on sale on April 3. They’ll set you back $180, or 120 pimento cheese sandwiches, plus tax.
