adidas Rivalry Low W

In the 1980s, basketball sneakers appeared with a frequency that could be likened to the growth of mushrooms after a downpour. Nike launched the Air Force 1, at the same time the Air Jordan 1 was first introduced, and adidas certainly wasn't left behind. Although it had already stunned the world with the Superstars in 1969, it didn't stop there and launched an entire collection of basketball shoes, including the adidas Rivalry High and its later variant, the adidas Rivalry Low.

The adidas Rivalry High was launched in 1986 in blue and white with orange accents, which made sense given adidas' partnership with Patrick Ewing, the legend of the New York Knicks. These sneakers quickly gained popularity both on the basketball court and on the street. With a typical basketball design, leather upper and perfect foot hold without feeling heavy. Their simple and timeless design with the characteristic three stripes only enhanced their genius.

Try them on yourself. Your wardrobe can never have enough classic sneakers that go with everything. That's why we recommend including the adidas Rivalry Low in your collection. They offer everything a stylish and modern sneaker should contain - a rich history, an interesting story and a great design.
