Coffee Kicks: Houston’s Tipping Point Joins adidas’ Adistar Control 5 Coffee Shop Collab Collection

The Three Stripes is ending the year with a caffeine buzz. As adidas continues to roll out new colorways of the Adistar Control 5, the retro runner is pulling up a seat at local coffee shops around the country, ordering a bottomless mug of black, and asking where the outlets are.

Cactus Flower Cappuccinos

The adidas Adistar Control 5 Slow Drip Tour kicked off earlier this week in adidas’ US home base, Portland, Oregon, with a Deadstock Coffee collab in red, black, and yellow served in a brown burlap sack bag. For its next cup, adidas is heading south to Texas, teaming up with Houston’s Tipping Point Coffee for a bright pink and green colorway like a desert cactus flower.

The Tipping Point Coffee x adidas Adistar Control 5 Cactus Flower skips the brown and cream coffee colorway for a take on local foliage in green suede and pink mesh. Mixing green on the toe, heel, and side panel support structure, the pink pops on the base, with golden yellow jumping in on the heel of the midsole and the alternate laces. In a year full of Adistar Control 5 collabs, this one stands out as a clear favorite.
