Adidas Tyshawn x Fucking Awesome Shoes

Arriving as part of a three-way collaboration between some of the most notorious names in skate, these active gold and core black Adidas Tyshawn x Fucking Awesome Shoes are set to bring a vivid pop of colour to any skate-specific set up. Inspired by throwback basketball profiles, but turning to the world of skate with its ballsy attitude and unrelenting energy, these mid-profile skate shoes set about bringing a sense of character filled charm to any pre-existing skate style. With regal gold-leather and brushed suede uppers, dark-brown ‘adidas’ embossed foxing tape, textured gum rubber outsoles and jet-black flat laces across its split-panel tongue, these multi-toned sneakers know no boundaries when it comes to contemporary flair. The EVA cushioned midsole, padded black-leather lining and the performance-moulded sockliner all work together in unison to supply step-by-step definition, whilst the perforated decals across the toe-box, side-seams and supportive high-rise collar help make for more ventilated wear through any hard-hitting skate session. Adidas’ iconic three-stripe decals are replaced with golden-hued transparent trims across the sides, whilst the graffiti-style ‘Fucking Awesome’ branding is split across both the exterior and interior panels for a more playful, urbanised twist. A gold-embroidered trefoil decorates the split-tone tongue, whilst the 8-eyelet fastening and the reinforced bartack stitching throughout helps seal these skate-specific sneakers with undeniable boardfeel well-catered to any high-octane style.

A design that arrives as a celebration of his sponsorship by both of these heavyweight skate figureheads, these striking adidas Tyshawn x Fucking Awesome Shoes join the ranks besides previously released pro-skater models such as the Bronx-born skater’s 2017 pro model Vulc Adv Shoes and both his collegiate green and core-black pro models from 2019. Combining Fucking Awesome’s tongue-in-cheek appeal with adidas’ renowned sporting hertiage, these highly energised kicks set about bringing a vibrant burst of colour into the mix with a boundary-pushing creative flair in its wake.
