The adidas Rivalry Hi Dresses In A Vintage “Glory Red”

In today’s college game, you’d be hard-pressed to not find a pair of Kobe 6 “Grinches” or the Nike GT Cut on the court, but back in the 80s adidas Basketball dominated the collegiate space by way of the adidas Rivalry. While the pair’s low-top counterpart is employed in a much more frequent fashion, the Rivarly Hi looks to its decades-old roots for its chosen reappearance, now coordinating a Chicago-inspired scheme infused with vintage aesthetics.

From the “Glory Red” mid-foot stripes finished in a chenille fabric to the tumbled leather heel counter and tongue tab’s chosen aged cream ensemble, the pair coordinates OG interpolations throughout. Casting its base layer in a crisp “Core White”, the latter bright red hues of the center foot begin to stretch across the tongue construction, mesh heel window and vamp while stark jet-black contrasts line the collar and tongue before outfitting the base of the toe box and sectioned midsole. Accompanied by adjacently placed embroidered trefoil insignias, a “Sail”-treated sole unit concludes the collegiate throw back.

While we await the pair’s release date, enjoy official images of the adidas Rivalry Hi “Glory Red” below in the meantime.
