Solebox Turns The Adidas Rivalry Low into an Ice Cream Sandwich

In a landscape often dominated by high-octane collaborations, Sole Box and Adidas choose to reminisce rather than reinvent, drawing inspiration from the balmy nostalgia of summer treats for their latest creation: the Rivalry Low “Ice Cream Sandwich.”

This offering is more than a sneaker; it's a sentimental journey back to the carefree days of summer vacations, encapsulating the bliss of a sweet, icy treat on a hot day. The design's foundation is sleek, white, full-grain leather, reminiscent of vanilla cream, smooth and unblemished. Complementing this is understated light grey suede touches, providing a cooling backdrop akin to the shade of an old tree in a sun-drenched park.

Yet, the ingenuity in the contrasting elements truly encapsulates the theme. The tongue, sporting a cozy tan, doesn’t just provide a color shift but mimics the comforting texture of a waffle cone, complete with material that begs to be touched, almost promising the crunch of the first bite.

The creativity surges forward with the iconic adidas stripes, with Sole Box infusing a taste of indulgence into the mix. On the outside, stripes don a luxurious chocolate brown, akin to a drizzle of rich sauce, while the inside bursts with a vibrant strawberry pink, a nod to the favorite flavors of summers gone by. This theme even extends to the insoles, embracing the sneaker's delicious concept.

However, the pièce de résistance is undeniably the packaging. Rejecting traditional constraints, this unique pair comes wrapped in a special foil, directly alluding to the timeless packaging of a classic ice cream sandwich. It's an experiential touch that transcends mere aesthetics.

The Sole Box x Adidas Rivalry Low “Ice Cream Sandwich” serves a narrative, a shared scrapbook of past summers, and an homage to the simple pleasures that bind our memories — and this touch of summer nostalgia can be yours from October 28th, with pairs set to release on Solebox.com and through their bricks and mortar locales.
