adidas Celebrates New York Sports With a Special Three-Piece Collection

Though success is often elusive, New York sports enthusiasts still have plenty to celebrate. With every Big 4 sport represented — and many more leagues, too — as well as hosts for the annual U.S. Open, and, of course, the New York Marathon, the city is abuzz with sporting pride throughout any given calendar year. Wearing your team’s colors is the norm in the suburbs and city; just take a walk around and you’ll spot Yankees fitted, Mets jackets, and the occasional Rangers jersey, too. Embodying that NYC pride, adidas Originals is commemorating the loyal fan base with a special collection of retro basketball footwear from the 1980s, inspired by the vibrant colors of these iconic teams.

The Rivalry Low ’86, a seminal sneaker in the history of basketball footwear, is adorned in blue and orange in two distinct styles. Without specific references to the Mets, Knicks, or Islanders, both options are versatile enough to be worn by fans of one, some, or all of these teams. Similarly, the Conductor High, featuring royal blue and varsity red accents, is an ideal choice for Giants and/or Rangers supporters. Each pair is unified by a custom “NY” logo on the heel and tongue, embroidered in a jersey style and using a distinctive New York font.

Mark your calendars for April 3rd to snag these sneakers ($110 for the Rivalry, $130 for the Conductor), and in the meantime, take a closer look at the detailed images provided.
