Why Choose the adidas Rivalry
The adidas Rivalry, first released in 1986, is a sneaker with deep roots in basketball history, designed by Jacques Chassaing specifically for NBA rookie Patrick Ewing.
When Ewing made his mark at Georgetown University, winning the 1984 college championship and later securing an Olympic gold medal alongside legends like Michael Jordan, adidas capitalised on his rising stardom by signing him in 1985.
This led to the creation of the Ewing Collection, which included the adidas Rivalry, a more accessible alternative to the premium adidas Conductor. The Rivalry was designed to bring Ewing’s influence to the masses, offering high-top support, bold colorways, and a street-ready aesthetic at a more affordable price.
While originally a budget-friendly option, its timeless design and cultural impact quickly transformed it into a style icon, making it a must-have far beyond the court. Whether you're drawn to its basketball heritage or its versatility across hip-hop, skate, and streetwear scenes, the Rivalry remains a standout choice.
