The Pack of Tennis-Focused Kith Classics x adidas Originals To Be Released on 21 August
The tennis collection pays homage to some of the sport's icons with the Rod Laver, Torsion Edberg, and IL Comp.
Quickly succeeding their golf-focused pack of Sambas earlier this month, Kith Classics and adidas Originals turn their attention to tennis, reviving three silhouettes from the archives: the Rod Laver, IL Comp, and Torsion Edberg.
Each model receives a makeover accented with deep Royal Blue highlights and a special Kith for adidas Originals co-branding. The collection pays homage to different eras of tennis, with the same iconic elements that made them a Three Stripes hallmark.
First is Australian tennis player Rod Laver’s signature that features a knitted mesh upper paired with pigskin nubuck overlays.
It’s followed by the Torsion Edberg, the namesake of Swedish Star Stefan Edberg. It embraces a more maximalist make and features a variety of accentuating details. The upper of this shoe is expertly crafted from superior full-grain leather and accented with pigskin nubuck.
Last but not least, the IL Comp maintains its functional heritage from 1985 for both on-court performance and off-court flair. For a timeless and adaptable style, its knitted mesh top is coupled with full-grain leather overlays.
All three pairs are scheduled for release on 21 August. Find them at all Kith brick-and-click stores from 11 am, and via the Kith App.
