Rivalry Love

Here is one of my pictures from the AOA top5 Vol. 2 book. 
The adidas Rivalry Hi has a special place in my collector's heart. 
It was the first adidas high top that sparked my interest as a teenager. 
Seeing my older sister's friends rocking the white and grey colourway, 
watching RUN DMC and what the band contributed to the evolution of 
style in the hip hop communities worldwide with their collection; 
all had a great influence on the way I perceived fashion and sneaker as 
a social code and status symbol. 
These are all the vintage Rivalrys that inspired me to my final shoe 
collaboration with adidas (in the front) plus a sample in the background 
with a different try on the snakeskin.
