FIRST-EVER Footwear Collection Customized FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND FANS by ADIDAS
With the kickoff of the college football season and students returning to campuses across the country, adidas today unveiled a Rivalry Collection for five partner NCAA programs, marking the first time the adidas Originals brand has entered the collegiate space.
“adidas is at the forefront of this growing crossover between the worlds of style and sports, and this collection marks our style culture being tailored and amplified across universities,” said Peter Gellert, Director of adidas Originals Basketball Footwear. “It's an exciting moment for fans, and there’s no better time or place to bring it to life than the start of the college sports season.”
Originally rooted in basketball, the Rivalry shoe features a retro ‘80s look with a sleek silhouette that works for everything from the classroom to kickoff. Now, fans and students from Grambling State University, University of Miami, University of Nebraska, Texas A&M and the University of Washington can represent their college colors with their own Rivalry looks. Additional adidas Originals’ collections are slated to drop later this season to give more colleges and universities the chance to rock their school colors.
