Adam Sandler displayed his signature laid-back dad style, complete with Under Armour basketball shoes, as he arrived in Venice for the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on Tuesday.
The “Happy Gilmore 2” star laced up his go-to of Steph Curry’s Curry Brand silhouettes, the 11 — specifically, the Curry Flow 11 “Girl Dad.” The colorway, which dropped in March 2024, combines a bright pink and black upper with light purple soles and heel counters. The colorful version of his popular 11 model serves as a nod to his relationship with his two daughters. Sandler, himself, has two girls.
