Adidas: adidas and West NYC Celebrate Tip Top Shoes' 85th Anniversary with Collection

adidas is linking back up with West NYC for a meaningful release that pays homage to New York City's retail legacy. To mark the 85th anniversary of Tip Top Shoes , the two brands have come together on a limited-edition footwear capsule that honors the store's deep roots while celebrating its continued presence as NYC's last full-service footwear retailer. The Tip Top Shoes 85th Anniversary Collection includes two silhouettes, each telling a different part of the story. First up is the SL 72 RS , a sleek mix of heritage and sport style that nods to Tip Top's Manhattan legacy. Draped in burgundy suede with pinking and perforated detailing, the shoe borrows elements from classic wingtip oxfords, a subtle callout to Tip Top's origins as a sit-and-fit shoe destination. On the other end of the spectrum is the Handball Spezial , which flips the script with a bold pink bouclé upper and playful "West Side Best Side" heel tab. The vibrant look speaks directly to West NYC's neighborhood pride and forward-thinking energy, bridging the brand's strong community presence with a fresh take on street-ready footwear. To celebrate the launch, West NYC and adidas Cornerstone Community will host a special event on April 24 with a live performance by NYC legends Nina Sky , bringing the community together for a night that honors the past while looking to the future. As part of the initiative, a portion of the collection's proceeds will be donated to the Two Ten Foundation , a nonprofit that supports and empowers workers across the footwear industry. The SL 72 RS will retail for $120 , and the Handball Spezial will land at $130 . Both pairs drop on April 26 at West NYC and Tip Top Shoes , in-store and online at westnyc.com and tiptopshoes.com .
