Adidas Skateboarding pro and acclaimed actor Na-Kel Smith recently put on his mining helmet and went spelunking in Adidas’ vast sneaker archives. Eventually, he dug up the Rivalry Hi, a classic basketball shoe from the 1980s. For Spring 2020, Na-Kel gave the Rivalry Hi a spin, resulting in a vintage-looking shoe that appears like it’s sprung directly from an 80s skate movie: it features black suede and synthetic leather upper, bright orange laces, orange accents at the three stripes, and a black outsole. Finally, on the tongue, a retro nametag featuring the shoe’s namesake completes the design. You can buy Na-Kel Smith’s Adidas Skateboarding Rivalry Hi OG at our web shop and our store in Frankfurt.
