Unheardof Unveils adidas Adistar Control 5 Collab in Paris

Cincinnati's very own Philip Lipschutz has chosen Paris as the location to unveil Unheardof's next adidas Originals collaboration.

Having previously reworked the Rivalry and Cushion 3, Lipschutz and company have chosen the Adistar Control 5 as their next canvas. The Three Stripes has been positioning the retro running model to have a stellar 2026 and Unheardof's project joins what will likely be a star-studded cast of collaborative takes on the chunky silhouette.

A quick glance at the sneaker unveils a green-and-pink color palette, which Lipschutz has already dubbed "Piggy Runner 2.0" as a nod to his brand's highly-popular Adistar Cushion 3 from last year. Branding on the profiles, the visible cushioning at the heel, and traction zones indulge in eye-catching pink, allowing the remainder of the model to boast a mostly green finish. Unheardof's Porky mascot claims real estate throughout the pair, making the collab unmistakably part of Lipschutz's growing roster.

Enjoy detailed shots of the Control 5 ahead. Pairs should launch soon through Unheardof's channels.
