Sneaker fanatics are hitting a dead end in their quest for a particular Adidas shoe that shows up in the movie The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. That's because the shoes featured in the film aren't real. AdAge.com reports moviegoers have inundated Adidas with requests on where to buy the shoes, and customers have been showing up at the company's retail stores ready to purchase a pair. In the movie, Team Zissou, a group of deep-sea explorers, wears pairs of Adidas sneakers with blue and aqua stripes, bright yellow laces and "Zissou" stitched along the side. Adidas hasn't indicated whether it will start producing the shoes to meet market demand.
