One of adidas’ mot iconic basketball sneakers in its illustrious history is none other than the Rivalry Hi, popularized by the game’s greats the likes of Patrick Ewing, and being revered for its bold, yet simple construction. Having returned to retailers recently in a clean black and white as well as a Ewing’s Knicks-friendly blue and orange, the high-top marvel is enjoying a bit of a resurgence, with the Three Stripe’s Y-3 partner set to kick things up another notch. Dubbed the adidas Y-3 Hayworth, this silhouette adds Yohji Yamamoto’s signature luxurious aesthetic into the fold by way of am over-tumbled leather construction, exposed stitching, and Y-3 branding scattered throughout. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Y-3 sneaker without Yamamoto’s signature firmly inscribed onto its upper, taking shape on this offering’s throat as well as its ankle collar in a contrasting white tone. Currently, pairs are available at select overseas retailers, so enjoy a detailed look below and stay tuned for updates regarding a potential Stateside drop.
