In a nod to the enduring legacy and expansive reach of adidas' design archives, the brand has delved into its historical collections to reintroduce the adidas LWST (Lawsuit) This skateboarding sneaker pays homage to its rich heritage in sports and streetwear. The original LWST, known for its robust design tailored for the skateboarding community, was previously recognized as the adidas Norton. So far, the model has been seen in a Black, Tan, Green, and Orange colorway, with the first collaboration since its revival being revealed to be with atmos Tokyo.
This collaboration between adidas and the esteemed Japanese retailer atmos Tokyo breathes new life into the LWST model, employing the iconic "Beef & Broccoli" colorway that's been a staple in boot culture, now reimagined for the skateboarding realm. The sneaker features luxurious suede in a rich brown, reminiscent of "beef," that adorns the mudguard, toe, and eyestays. This look is contrasted against a durable Cordura fabric base in a deep green, symbolizing "broccoli" for a perfect balance between style and functionality.
Black details enhance the lace set and the signature Three Stripes, while the adidas branding on the tongue is subtly presented in brown, blending seamlessly with the overall theme. The design is completed with a black midsole and a uniquely patterned black and brown outsole that ensures grip and durability, essential for skateboarding performance.
