Revisiting the golden era of basketball in the ‘80s, German sportswear giant adidas reinserts the archival adidas Attitude back in the lineup to bolster the brand’s retro lifestyle shoe roster. Famously worn by NBA legend and Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing, the adidas Attitude had a brief comeback in 2013 before returning in the vault. Now back as part of the adidas Originals catalogue, this “NYC” rendition celebrates the Big Apple and its signature colours - a design language synonymous with Patrick Ewing and the New York Knicks.
Having dropped two adidas Rivalry colourways with NYC themes in early 2023, adidas continues to pay homage to its basketball heritage with another returning sneaker. First released in 1986, the adidas Attitude bannered the adidas basketball roster alongside the Forum and Rivalry, among many others. The high-rise construction of this sneaker provided additional support and durability to withstand the fast-paced playstyle during its era, serving as a viable option for forwards and centres. This colourway is a tribute to the widely considered "Mecca of Basketball", New York City! The shoe has a predominantly cream white leather base to render a vintage aesthetic. New York Knicks' orange and blue pigments adorn the suede 3-Stripes on the sides, textile heel backdrop, and mesh tongue. Classic NY branding embellishes the tongue and rear. The yellowish rubber sole caps off the throwback design of this old-school basketball sneaker.
