Fila is planning three pop-up stores globally to celebrate the relaunch of its Mindblower and Mindbreaker 2 silhouette.
First released in the mid-90s, the Mindblower is known for a distinct, oversized wavy logo covering the shoe’s outsole. The Mindbreaker 2.0 is an updated version of the Mindblower. The shoes will be released along with a collection of coordinated apparel and accessories.
