The adidas Tyshawn II Goes Stealth In “Core Black”

Following the release of a clean “Crystal White” colorway that’s now almost completely sold out, Tyshawn Jones’ newest signature adidas Skateboarding shoe continues its rollout campaign in “Core Black” on July 5th.

Skaters have been able to thoroughly review the adidas Tyshawn II by now, and while feedback has been mixed, generally agreed upon strong-suits include grip, cushioning, and impact absorption. A Lightstrike midsole, borrowed from the brand’s running and basketball lines, fulfills a lightweight and performance-minded lower half, while the upper speaks to retro basketball aesthetics through its nuanced, layered tooling.

Now drenched in “Core Black” leather on this edition, the outsole is where the real intrigue lies. The multi-directional, herringbone tread pattern comes with splashes of “Collegiate Green” and maroon here, framed around the toe and heel by brown gum.

While it’s unlikely this pair will get met with the same demand as the inaugural “Crystal White” edition that dropped in early June, you’re best advised to act quickly in hopes of securing a pair. The adidas Tyshawn II “Core Black/Collegiate Green” drops at 10:00 AM (EST) on July 5th for $100 via adidas, and is also expected to hit skate shops sporadically this month.
