How it spread

Trace the origin

Adidas released the Turtle Dove in June 2015 and it sold out. Resale reports, release threads and video reviews followed. More colors, infant sizes and V2 extended the line. Adidas ended the partnership in 2022 and later sold remaining stock.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak.
