The skateboarding scene is about to get another upgrade with the release of the adidas Tyshawn II, designed by none other than skateboarding prodigy Tyshawn Jones. This sneaker is not just a tool for skateboarding; it represents the pinnacle of performance merged with street-ready aesthetics, celebrating the unique influence of one of skateboarding's most dynamic figures.
Who is Tyshawn Jones?
Tyshawn Jones isn't just a skateboarder; he's a phenomenon in the skate world. A testament to his impact is his 2018 Thrasher Skater of the Year title, which he earned through a combination of unparalleled skill and his tireless work ethic. Jones has not only pushed the boundaries of what's possible on a skateboard but has also influenced the culture around skateboarding, inspiring a generation of skaters to pursue their passions relentlessly. His partnership with adidas Skateboarding has already produced several iconic shoes, and the Tyshawn II is his latest masterpiece, expected to further his legacy.
Introducing the Adidas Tyshawn II
After five successful years of the original adidas Tyshawn, Jones and adidas Skateboarding are set to launch its highly anticipated successor, the Tyshawn II. This shoe builds on the robust foundation of its predecessor while incorporating significant technological advancements and design refinements. The upper features a dual-layer toe cap designed for enhanced durability and a perforated toe box for improved breathability. Lightweight yet supportive, the midsole is equipped with adidas's innovative LIGHTSTRIKE technology, ensuring optimum performance without the bulk.
Visually, the Tyshawn II retains the classic aesthetic that fans adore but with fresh elements that make it stand out. The iconic Three Stripes adorn the midfoot, and a standout Trefoil logo on the tongue adds a touch of heritage. Gold "TYSHAWN" text just above the lateral stripes injects a personal touch reflecting Jones' signature style.
Release Details
Set to hit the stores on June 1, the adidas Tyshawn II will launch in a striking "Crystal White" colorway, which perfectly contrasts with black stripes, laces, heel tab, and midsole creating a clean but enduring aesthetic.
The adidas Tyshawn II is available online and in Boardertown stores nationwide from June 1st.
