Morty, wake up. It’s time for a new adventure, this time as a soccer star. Immediately after the new collaboration between Rick and Morty and Adidas was announced yesterday, the show posted a new trailer for the collaboration on their Twitter account. The new collection, called X Speedportal, is now available to order on the Adidas website here.
The new ad, released on Tuesday, begins much like most Rick and Morty adventures, starting with Rick, an evil and often drunk genius, stumbling into his grandson’s room in the middle of the night and urging him to wake up. . But this time, their adventure is a little different. Rick takes Morty to his lab where two famous soccer stars meet. Mohamed Salah as well as Vivian Midema float in two filled sticky tubes.
Upon interrogation, Rick announces that the two football stars are in the pipes as part of what he calls “consensus science” and that the two athletes are in the pipes to give Morty some of his sportsmanship. From Salah, he will “receive the gift of dribbling and finishing,” and from Midema he will be bestowed with “attacking strength and speed with or without the ball.” Oh, and she’ll give him a very rare opportunity to enjoy Dutch cuisine, especially herring.
Rick then shows Morty the vehicle for this power transfer, the Adidas X Speedportal, a pair of Solar Green football boots tubed to two tube athletes. The shoes, according to Rick, feature multi-dimensional speed, carbon fiber outsoles and a host of other marketing terms. Morty is then given shoes and then thrown along with Midemah and Salah to an intergalactic football game, which he immediately dominates, celebrating with a plate of herring. However, when he reports his success to Rick, Rick responds by launching the shoes into another dimension so as not to disturb their current balance.
Rick and Morty is currently one of the most successful animated series on television. After it premiered in 2013, the series soon gained a cult following online. Series created Dan Harmon and features a dry, absurd comedy style. Combining comedy and sci-fi, the series follows the Sanchez/Smith family as they struggle to cope with the chaos brought to them by Rick Sanchez, a worthless grandfather who frequently uses his daughter and her family in his various experiences. He often goes on side adventures with Morty, his daughter’s teenage son.
And where did Rick move the shoes? Well, right here in this reality, apparently. A new announcement was released yesterday for Rick and Morty Twitter and Youtube channel and was presented by Adult Swim, the network that Rick and Morty air. The new collection features a wide selection of boots with prices ranging from $65 to $280. The collection also includes shields and gloves. Here you can purchase items from the collection.
