The adidas x West NYC capsule celebrates a true New York legend -- Tip Top Shoes. This limited-edition drop honors the store’s 85th anniversary with two distinctive sneakers that nod to Tip Top’s legacy while pushing forward with bold design choices.
The 'SL 72 RS' offers a refined take on adidas sport style, dressed in rich burgundy suede with pinking and perforation details that echo the craftsmanship of classic wingtip oxfords -- a tribute to Tip Top’s sit-and-fit roots. Meanwhile, the vibrant 'Handball Spezial' captures West NYC’s streetwise energy with a standout pink bouclé upper and playful 'West Side Best Side' heel detail, reflecting the Upper West Side community both brands call home.
Set to launch on April 26, the collection also gives back: a portion of proceeds supports the Two Ten Foundation, aiding workers across the footwear industry. With a Nina Sky DJ set planned for the April 24 launch event, this drop blends heritage, celebration, and street culture.
