adidas is set to celebrate Milwaukee in a big way with the release of the exclusive Rivalry '86 Low Clicks Kicks 414 Day sneaker, limited to just 414 pairs. This special edition is more than just footwear; it's a heartfelt homage to Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin, designed to capture the essence of the city's culture, landmarks, and sports legacy. Previously, Clicks Kicks and its founder, Eric "Shake" James, released an adidas Forum Low CL collaboration.
The sneaker's design is inspired by the Milwaukee Bucks, featuring a clean white base with the team's signature green and red accents, making it a coveted item for fans and collectors alike. It doesn’t stop there; the sneaker is littered with playful nods to Wisconsin's identity, including an embroidered Wisconsin cheese on the heel and a cheese-themed tongue tag by adidas, celebrating the state’s famous cheese culture. The insoles are a testament to Milwaukee's rich history and its status as the unofficial Bowling Capital of the World, adorned with symbols like Gertie the Duck, the Hoan Bridge, bowling pins, and, of course, a wheel of cheese, among many other uniquely Milwaukee elements.
With only 414 pairs available, this sneaker is a collector's dream and highlights the special connection adidas aims to foster with Milwaukee and Wisconsin. This exclusivity adds to its allure, making it a significant release for sneaker enthusiasts, Milwaukee Bucks fans, and anyone who holds Milwaukee and Wisconsin close to their hearts. Available exclusively through Clicks Kicks on April 14th, this sneaker represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Milwaukee’s vibrant culture and history.
Shake and adidas will be offering free footwear design workshops in partnership with Wood U to celebrate this partnership and continue the focus on the community.
“414 Day is a special time dedicated to celebrating the essence of Milwaukee. The upcoming sneaker launch holds particular significance as it marks the first of its kind for this occasion." Said Shake, continuing, "It was truly heartwarming to share this memorable experience with the students of Siefert Middle School, and it was really special to see all the sneaker designs they created. I'm deeply appreciative of adidas Cornerstone Community for their continued support, and I eagerly anticipate the opening of the physical home for J.A.Y. Academy in August, which promises exciting opportunities ahead."
The Clicks Kicks x adidas Rivalry '86 Low 414 Day is scheduled to drop on April 13, 2024, in celebration of 414 Day. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $130. This release is a celebration of Milwaukee’s culture, history, and sports legacy, making it a must-have for anyone looking to celebrate their love for the city and the state.
