The release was perfectly timed, it seems, as the festival featured Seu Jorge, the Brazilian musician whose smooth David Bowie music covers helped The Life Aquatic reach cult status.
The Adidas Rom trainers were first released in 1959 as a training shoe but became incredibly popular in the 1980s.
It isn't clear whether Adidas will plan a wider release for the Rom Zissou.
