The New Youth of Paris x adidas Colab Delivers Skate-Ready Style
As moodboard culture continues to infiltrate the sneaker scene, Youth of Paris are continuing to capitalise on the movement with their second colab. Like Youth of Paris was born as a Tumblr blog, before founder Alex Lopez turned it into a webzine and then a fully-fledged brand. The original Tumblr account is still active.
The duo dropped their first joint project back in spring 2023, which consisted of two colourways of the 80s. This time, the brands opt for more of a chunky, early-aughts look, delivering a Campus 00s and an Mid. Channelling some serious skater vibes, both pairs come in ‘Carbon’ and ‘Core Black’ colourways in line with Youth of Paris’s gritty aesthetic.
The Youth of Paris x adidas Campus 00s starts off with a dark grey suede base and features solar-green branding hits. These arrive in the form of a Youth of Paris wordmark by the Stripes, and Trefoil-branded heel and tongue tabs. Said stripes and tongue tabs arrive in cracked black leather. The Adimatic Mid follows suit, only this time the shoe features purple branding. Both pairs come finished with black sole units, as well as black stitch detailing on the uppers. The pairs come packaged in special-edition boxes and look to come with a lanyard accessory and multiple lace options.
The Youth of Paris x adidas Adimatic Mid and Campus 00s will touch down on November 15. Retail is set at $140.
