The 3-D stop-motion film, The Boxtrolls and Nike collaborate on a limited-edition release of the Nike Roshe Run Trollstrikes with proceeds going to Adoption Exchange Association.
How cute are these? Now that my kids are older I don’t get the opportunity to buy them cartoon inspired sneakers. Oh, how I miss those days.
But, I can live vicariously through my mommy readers or the adults that are into collecting sneakers like these since they do come in adult sizes too.
Nike teamed up with The Boxtrolls for the Nike Rosh Run ‘Trollstrikes’. The detail on these kicks is pretty amazing.
But the more amazing part is that owning a pair means a donation to charity, specifically, Adoption Exchange Association, a nonprofit child welfare organization committed to connecting children who wait in foster care with families looking to adopt.
That’s fitting because The Boxtrolls, which hits theaters on Friday, September 26th is about a young orphaned boy raised by underground cave-dwelling trash collectors tries to save his friends from an evil exterminator. Based on the children’s novel ‘Here Be Monsters’ by Alan Snow. (via IMDb)
An online auction of both adult and youth limited-edition pairs of the Nike Roshe Run Trollstrikes began on Sept. 24 at 12pm EST and can be accessed at www.NikeTrollstrikesAuction.com.
The proceeds will go to Adoption Exchange Association, a nonprofit child welfare organization committed to connecting children who wait in foster care with families looking to adopt.
You can also try to win a pair via Twitter.
Participants can enter by following the @boxtrolls handle on twitter and posting a photo of thier origial cardboard artwork using the hashtag #theboxtrollsnikeshoecontest. Artwork should reflect the Victorian and steampunk world of The Boxtrolls. The Twitter contest begins at 12 a.m. EST on Sept. 24 and concludes at 11:59 p.m. EST on Oct. 3, 2014.
What Comes With the Sneakers?
The Nike Roshe Run Trollstrikes also include a custom, laser-cut shoe box featuring gear shapes and the movie tagline “Dare To Be Square.” Decorative tissue paper inside the box unfolds to be the front page of the “Cheesebridge Cheesecloth” newspaper, while Boxtroll Bandages (screen-printed Dri-FIT Elite socks) and a custom, screen-printed burlap shoe bag complete the package.
Be sure to catch the movie and if you get a pair of the ‘Trollstrikes’ shoot a photo over to me.
