The original version in 1985. Was the “Ewing” model. As being the signature shoe for Patrick Ewing. Now the retro replace Ewing by adidas. Patrick Ewing end his relation with adidas some decades ago. He launched his “Ewing” own branded. So adidas do not want to mention Ewing in his rivalry
Bought recently a pair from Sizeer. Compared to Adidas Forum, for example, they're much stiffer. They also lack height in the toe box. And you somehow get the feeling they want to slip out of your heel, if you don't lace them tight, because the sole is stiff and they have a low profile at their back side.
Having worn both, I agree with this. Very stiff and shallow in the toe box and pretty bad heal slippage. But because of that, I have really put my shoes through a lot and they are still holding up pretty well. I just looked up Sizeer, are they a big retailer in Europe?
@@themaru-chanchannel9188 Sizeer is very present in malls, they seem to have more than 200 stores in Europe. Plus you can order online. In Buzau (Romania), were I live, there is a Sizeer store in Shopping City mall. It's good to hear that Rivalry are holding up well. It happens I wear them right now. I must give up using low socks with them, there is that strange sensation they will slip out of my heels. What's interesting is that after maybe 15-20 mins, they don't slip out anymore. Anyway, I will wear higher socks with them.
I like this shoes, but in high. Adidas released them more times. I have a black & white and this knicks colourway from a different time. Not exactly the same, but both are very cool looking. I use orange shoelace to this and adidas blue to the black
Hi , man! Hope you're doing well. I'm a fan of your channel and your sneaker taste and I was wondering if you like the Reebok Zig Concept type 1 (the ones with black sole) . Thanks
I'm doing well thanks! Really appreciate the support. I just went to look at the Reebok shoes that you suggested - interesting! But not really sure if I would personally wear it.
@@themaru-chanchannel9188 yeah, maybe it's a different connection but I know you understand the vibe and the way that shoe looks. Nice. Keep it up, man!
I'm not familiar with that shoe. But some other adidas models I wear in the same size as this shoe include: - Superstars - Stan Smiths - Mesh NMDs - Campus 80s Hope this helps!
Hard to find in the United States. And if you do they're expensive as fuck. Do you have a store that ships to the US and if so what's the pricing? There is another version of the Nick's Rivalry hi top and they're dark blue, gray and red colored on white hi tops.
At the time of writing, I haven't seen this shoe around at local Australian stores any more so I wouldn't really know where to find them now aside from secondary marketplaces.

Interesting history, thanks for the info!

The high tops definitely have a more authentic old school vibe to them! Orange laces would be an interesting switch up.
Great vid! Thinking about copping the swarovski collab
They are definitely a flashy upgrade to this version!
Qui siamo a livelli altissimi,retro Adidas top,modello e colore che andranno a ruba.

Where did you snatch up that hoodie yo?
The hoodie is the adidas x Hardies hoodie and I got it from a local skate shop years ago!
