The popular NYC-based brand Sporty and Rich has teamed up with adidas once again, this time focusing on the SL 72, a classic Three Stripes model. The collaboration introduces three stylish colorways inspired by the sneaker’s Olympic heritage, each offering a fresh take on its original design.
A Nod to the Past, with a Modern Touch
The Sporty and Rich x adidas SL 72 collection draws from the shoe's history, blending retro inspiration with contemporary luxury. Each pair stays true to the SL 72’s roots while adding unique upgrades:
- “Utility Yellow” Flip: This version reimagines the OG blue-on-yellow design by swapping the bold yellow for a softer, paler tone. It also includes a silken interior for a premium feel.
- Yellow-on-Blue Edition: An inversion of the “Utility Yellow” colorway, offering a playful twist on the classic combination.
- “Mint Rush”: Featuring light mint and blue hues with off-white accents, this pair stands out as the boldest in the collection, giving a nod to modern aesthetics.
Each design includes co-branded details on the tongue and above the iconic Three Stripes, adding a collaborative flair to the timeless silhouette.
Expanding Their Creative Reach
Sporty and Rich has been a key adidas collaborator recently, delivering multiple hits, especially with the adidas Samba. This SL 72 collaboration allows the brand to expand its portfolio, working on a different silhouette and showcasing its versatility in sneaker design.
