UnheardOf, the Cincinnati-based sneaker boutique, has teamed up with adidas to release a limited-edition Rivalry Low sneaker that celebrates the city’s rich history. This collaboration, titled “Building Bridges,” is inspired by the iconic Roebling Suspension Bridge and aims to honor Cincinnati’s cultural legacy while encouraging individuals to pave their own path to a brighter future.
The sneaker’s design reflects elements of the Roebling Bridge, with an upper that mimics the bridge’s stone architecture and signature suede Three Stripes in “Roebling Blue.” The foam green sole represents the vibrant summer hue of the Ohio River, and a Captain Piggy heel decal symbolizes individuality.
In line with their commitment to community, UnheardOf and adidas will donate a portion of the sneaker’s proceeds to the Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky. To celebrate the launch, they are also hosting a special boat ride on the Ohio River for the children residing at the home, marking a personal connection for UnheardOf founder Phil Lipschutz, who spent part of his childhood there.
The adidas x UnheardOf “Building Bridges” Rivalry Low is available now for $165 at UnheardOf’s website and select retailers. This collaboration not only showcases the unique design and storytelling of UnheardOf but also highlights their dedication to giving back to the community.
