adidas Rivalry Lux Low W

In the 1980s, basketball sneakers appeared with a frequency that could be compared 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 in 1969 with the Superstars, it didn't stop there and unleashed an entire collection of basketball shoes on the world, 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 New York Knicks legend Patrick Ewing. These sneakers quickly gained popularity both on the basketball court and on the street. With a typical basketball design, leather uppers and a perfect fit for the foot without feeling cumbersome. Their simple and timeless design with the characteristic three stripes only enhanced their genius.

Give them a try. 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 - a rich history, an interesting story and a great design.
