Every once in a while, a skate shoe drops that truly helps redefine the game, and I'd say the OG Tyshawn Mid from adidas Skateboarding was one of them.
Iconic skateboarder. Timeless brand. Style, comfort, durability—all the important boxes are checked, and that list keeps going. The Tyshawn II is making waves of its own, but sometimes you just can't beat the originals. Peep the latest colorway of the Tyshawn Mid below:

"The poise, the power and the swagger. No one skates New York City like Tyshawn Jones and that unmistakable attitude is infused in every stitch of his original signature shoe," reads the adidas site. "Inspired by basketball aesthetics and engineered for skateboarding, the Tyshawn Mid Shoes feature a memory foam collar, reinforced toe, Adiprene sockliner, and are made of premium materials and finishes."
Additionally, the brand with Three Stripes mentioned: "This product is made with recycled content as part of our ambition to end plastic waste. 20% of pieces used to make the upper are made with minimum 50% recycled content." Boom!
I love a clean colorway like this. Navy and white? Boom. It's simple and easy on the eyes, but don't get it twisted—these things are loaded with all the tech needed for modern day skateboarding. The fact that they look so good on and off the board is just the icing on the cake.
Tyshawn’s been stacking up wins for years—all of his adidas Skateboarding silhouettes are just small pieces of validation, as far as I'm concerned. You can grab the new colorway now, and if you've never given the Tyshawn Mid a go, this might be the one that finally gets you lacing up a pair. Hit your local and see what's good.
