As a standout skater with a unique style and powerful influence, Tyshawn Jones brings authenticity to the skateboarding division at adidas, and the latest colorway of his second signature silhouette, the Tyshawn II, cements the collaboration as a flagship offering.
The partnerships that The Brand With The Three Stripes has with skaters such as Dennis Busenitz, Blondey McCoy, and Mark Gonzales are about more than just footwear. They reflect the brand's deeper connection to the sport, the athletes, and the broader skateboarding culture. Tyshawn's impact on the skateboarding world ranges from winning Skater of the Year to co-founding Hardies Hardware and aligns with the brand's strategy to work with athletes who genuinely represent the sport. The continued release of signature silhouettes like the Tyshawn II demonstrates the long-term investment in the skater and the skateboarding community that adidas has the foresight to make, and the continued growth of the sport, being exampled such as added to the Olympic Games, will only pay dividends in the years to come.
With the Tyshawn II, the sneaker also highlights adidas Skateboarding's ability to blend performance and style, which Tyshawn Jones embodies perfectly, with the versatile design reflecting the duality of his skateboarding prowess and influence on street fashion. Previously released in Crystal White Core Black, Core Black, and White Black Navy iterations, the model receives an infusion of color this time. The leather base of the upper appears to have a waxed effect and is adorned in hues of shadow fig. A black leather mudguard wraps around the upper, providing extra support and durability. Grey Five accents the back heel tab and sockliner, both leather-covered. Three Stripes branding along the sides also comes in grey, with 3M reflective detailing. Underfoot, the white midsole features Lightstrike cushioning, finished with a rubber outsole for extra grip.
The adidas Tyshawn II Shadow Fig is set to release on October 1, 2024, through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $100.
