In the 80's, basketball sneakers were being manufactured at speeds of light. Nike introduced the Air Force 1, the Air Jordan 1 was released for the first time, and even adidas joined in the race. Although in 1969 it released Superstar, which became popular the world over, it had to forge ahead, so it released a number of basketball sneakers, including the adidas Rivalry High model, which a few years later received a low version—adidas Rivalry Low.
The adidas Rivalry High sneakers were introduced in 1986, in a blue-and-white version with orange detail, denoting the partnership with Patrick Ewing, a legendary New York Knicks player. The fame of these sneakers did not take long to come about and they became an instant hit not only on the basketball court, but also on the streets. And no wonder. The sneakers have a typical basketball oval toe, a leather upper and, when worn, they strengthen the foot perfectly without added bulk. The simple, timeless design with the typical three stripes on the side only underlined their genius and added to their popularity.
Try them out for yourself! You can never have enough classic sneakers that easily go with everything, so we recommend adding adidas Rivalry Low to your daily footwear collection. They have everything that stylish and trendy sneakers should have—a history, a story and a great appearance.
Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Rubber: The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. Thanks to its elasticity, it absorbs shock, increasing comfort when walking or running.
adidas Originals are not just sneakers but an entire culture that has developed around them. Ever since the brand with the iconic three stripes appeared on the scene, it has shaped the sports world as well as streetwear and pop culture. The history of adidas dates back to 1949, when Adi Dassler laid the foundations for the brand that is now one of the absolute top brands. The adidas Originals segment was created as a tribute to the iconic models of the past. It revives classic silhouettes and adds modern elements to them. It keeps the legacy of sports and urban fashion alive and relevant.
The most famous models include the immortal Superstar, favoured by members of the hip-hop group Run-D.M.C. in the 1980s, or the minimalist Stan Smith, named after the legendary tennis player. If you're looking for something more futuristic, the adidas NMD or Ozweego are great choices. The common denominator of all models is quality materials and technologies like Boost or Primeknit. And of course, timeless designs that never get old.
Over decades of existence, adidas Originals sneakers have won fans among celebrities, athletes and artists. They are worn by Pharrell Williams, Kanye West and skater Nora Vasconcellos. The brand regularly collaborates with leading designers and other brands. Collaborations with Yeezy, Prada or Beyoncé' s Ivy Park clearly prove that Originals models are not afraid to constantly push the boundaries of fashion.
Whether you're looking for something for everyday wear, to pump up the sporty vibe or simply a retro classic, this brand always has something that will get you going. Atdy certainly doesn't skimp on comfort, quality and style. Choose your pair at Footshop and be part of a legend.
