adidas' Forum & Rivalry Low Silhouettes Deliver a Lesson In Preppy Styling

In case you hadn’t already noticed, preppy style is very much in vogue for 2023 - but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to swap out your sneakers for boat shoes anytime soon. As streetwear moves in a more *mature* direction (think Aimé Leon Dore) clean, retro-style sneakers scrub up well enough - which is where adidas styles like the Forum and Rivalry Low come into play.

Channelling real vintage vibes, both court styles are shaping up to be some of this summer’s must-have sneakers. But while they’re available in a super-fresh “Triple White” colourway, it’s the collegiate-style colour-blocking that’s caught our eye here. Dressed in shades of white, green and tan, and coming constructed from premium leather and suede, the pairs are very much mood board material, nodding to the new heritage-style look that’s trending so hard right now.
