adidas Rivalry Low

In the 1980s, basketball sneakers were coming out at the speed of mushrooms after rain. Nike introduced the Air Force 1, then the Air Jordan 1 came out for the first time, and even Adidas couldn't come up empty. Although it released the Superstars in 1969, which stunned the world, it couldn't rest on its laurels, releasing a whole line of basketball sneakers that included the adidas Rivalry High, which a few years later got a low version - the adidas Rivalry Low.

The adidas Rivalry High sneakers were introduced in 1986, in a blue and white version with orange detailing, which made sense since adidas had a partnership with Patrick Ewing, the legendary New York Knicksplayer . The fame of these sneakers didn't wait long and became an instant hit not only on the basketball courts, but also on the streets. No wonder. The sneakers have a typical basketball oval toe, leather upper and when you put them on, they make your foot feel great, but they are not chunky. The simple, timeless design with the three stripes on the side only emphasized their genius and added to the reason why they became so popular.

See for yourself. After all, you can never have enough classic sneakers to go with everything, which is why we recommend adding the adidas Rivalry Low to your sneaker rotation. They've got everything a stylish and trendy sneaker should have - history, a story and a cool look.
