In a world filled with wacky colorways, bells and whistles, marketing tech talk and whatever else you wanna add to the list, sometimes a clean and classic black/white skateboarding shoe can be pretty refreshing.
Adidas recently shared the latest colorway of Tyshawn Jones’ second signature model, the ‘Tyshawn II’ in black/white—the perfect shoes for you minimalists out there who want some proper comfort and durability without the flashiness.
"Featuring new design language focused on function and simplicity, the Tyshawn II reinterprets elements from Tyshawn's favorite football silhouettes," adidas mentions. "Blending sleek design touches with a durable cupsole construction, the Tyshawn II delivers style and performance with a dual-layered toe area and multidirectional cupsole tread for a streamlined fit and impact cushioning."
Tyshawn had a pretty impressive year in 2024, but at the same time, he stayed pretty low key. It was a year filled with sneak attacks, if you ask me. We’d see nothing, hear nothing, then on a random weekday he’d break the internet after posting a random, captionless viral banger (multiple times)—mandatory copy/paste clips for the group chats of the world.
It’s easy to forget he owns multiple businesses, dabbles in modeling, this, that and the other…and still gets out in the streets to handle biz more than plenty of current pros who happily scrape by doing the bare minimum. I’m not hating, but I am just saying.
I’ve never heard anything bad about either of TJ’s signature model adidas, though. And even though I’m happy to admit I like a ton of his other colorways, I’ll always be a fan of some classic black/white shoes.
Look for these and more of the Three Stripes latest offerings at your local shop! If they don’t have what you’re looking for, hop on the adidas site and go nuts. I wonder what Tyshawn has in store for us this year? Can’t wait.
