Eritrea Flag Shoes

Eritrea Flag Shoes - Rebel Sole Mid Top Details Red, green and blue panelled across a retro mid top, with the olive wreath on the tongue. Eritrea's flag is unusual and so is its story - a red triangle for the blood of the independence struggle, green for agriculture, blue for the Red Sea, and a gold olive wreath that stood on the flag of the liberation movement before it stood on the flag of the country. Asmara's modernist streets, Massawa's coast, Keren's markets, and a diaspora that runs deep in Washington DC, Stockholm, Frankfurt and Toronto all carry it. These Eritrea Flag Rebel Sole Mid Tops split those three colours across the panels. Crimson red covers the toe and the mid quarter, green takes the lower panel and wraps the heel, and a blue section sits low at the rear. The flag is printed on the tongue in full - red triangle, green above, blue below, gold wreath centred - with the wreath emblem repeated in gold on the red quarter and ERITREA lettered on the blue panel. Design details Crimson red toe box and mid quarter panel. Green lower side panel and heel wrap. Blue section at the lower rear of the shoe. Full Eritrean flag on the tongue with the gold olive wreath centred. Gold wreath emblem repeated on the red quarter; ERITREA lettered on the blue. White mesh inserts, black lace cages, black wing and black heel tab. White laces and a white midsole with a visible air unit under the heel.

A gold olive branch wreath. It carried over from the flag of the independence movement and stands for peace after the struggle. Why is one side a triangle? The red triangle runs from the hoist to the fly edge, dividing the green upper and blue lower fields - it is what makes the Eritrean flag instantly recognisable. Are these official merchandise?
