Adidas Originals x Nice Kicks Rivalry Low Trainers

“One of the most iconic console wars of all time has been immortalized by two pairs of shoes in a new and exclusive collaboration between Nice Kicks and Adidas, celebrating the glory days of the 16-bit era in North America.
The “Rivalry Series” project from Adidas uses the perfectly named Adidas Rivalry model first released in 1986–a shoe originally designed for basketball, but went on to find much wider casual appeal. In an exclusive partnership with Nice Kicks, this new drop, is inspired by the battle between the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), which took place at the height of the sneaker style’s popularity.”

I chose to get the ones inspired by the SNES console, as I did not think the ones that were inspired by the Mega Drive looked nice. To be honest I don’t find many products that take their design inspiration from the Mega Drive appealing, looking at you Lavair and Anicorn, which is a massive shame as I feel like the design of the original Sega Mega Drive is fantastic.
As for the trainers themselves, they look great. The only issue I have is that they are a little on the small side, almost as if the sizing is wrong by 1/2 a size.
