Exclusive: Up Close With Beyoncé and adidas' New IVY PARK Top Ten 2000 Shoe
Tooling from Kobe Bryant’s adidas basketball shoe gets blended with a futuristic upper.
Now that Ye has been removed from the picture,
The kicks are pieced together with archival tooling from the adidas Top Ten 2000 — one of the models that is associated with Kobe Bryant’s time with the German sportswear imprint — as well as futuristic design details. Its past-meets-future design features upper layers that are cooked up with curvy overlays that are made from leather and land on the forefoot as well as a crinkled, TPU heel piece that is made with a sultry suede. Tongues are borrowed from the classic adidas Samba and are debossed with IVY PARK branding, and these come accessorized with flecked laces. Zig-zagged sole units are blasted with bold shades of orange to represent IVY PARK’s signature accent hue.
Expect these to hit adidas as a CONFIRMED-exclusive on January 20.
