Livestock and adidas Present the Velosamba "TRIPLE RUSH"
Paying homage to bicycle couriers from the late 20th century.
Continuing the duo’s everlasting partnership, Livestock and adidas have reconnected to reimagine the biking-oriented Velosamba silhouette. Donning a “TRIPLE RUSH” theme — a phrase coined by bike messenger dispatchers in New York City to categorize packages of the highest priority — the project nods to bicycle couriers, emphasizing the fusion of visibility with durability. In addition, Livestock connected with Standert to create a one-of-one Umlaufbahn bike that complements the kicks.
The colorway arrives in a primarily black presentation, utilizing precise material specifications to ensure its readiness for pedaling through bustling city streets. Two-bolt cleat compatibility pairs with a reinforced midsole that balances its ability to perform on-bike and off. A ballistic nylon upper combines with premium leather and suede at the overlays while orange “*TRIPLE RUSH” text appears next to the Three Stripes in place of the typical “VELOSAMBA” hit. 3M detailing further adds to its visibility with a custom illustrated sockliner and three sets of laces included as well.
For those interested in grabbing a pair, Livestock has just launched the shoe today with sizes already beginning to sell out. Priced at $170 CAD (approx. $126 USD), they’re available now via the Livestock website.
