Tyshawn Jones has been making headlines currently – not essentially for his skating, however for submitting a $26 million lawsuit towards Supreme. After turning into sponsored as an 11 12 months previous, the Bronx native is alleging the model abruptly terminated his contract and made “malicious, false remarks” that prevented him from securing future work. In the meantime, as attorneys from each side get right down to the brass tax of all of it, Tyshawn’s relationship along with his footwear sponsor in adidas goes swimmingly.
From June fifth–eighth, adidas is internet hosting a New York Metropolis pop-up known as Bronx Information — a bodega-style expertise paying tribute to Tyshawn’s roots. Situated at 203 Spring Avenue – only a hop, skip, and a soar from Supreme’s New York Metropolis flagship – the occasion will function a curated collection of Tyshawn’s favourite skate gear. An unique Thrasher x King Skateboards sequence will probably be accessible, as will Thunder vehicles, Spitfire wheels, Hardies NYC attire, and far more. Guests also can attempt their luck with scratch-off tickets for an opportunity to win choose merchandise. Tyshawn and his crew will probably be making shock appearances on the pop-up and can host a skate jam on June seventh.
To coincide with the occasion, adidas is rolling out a brand new colorway of the Tyshawn II. It’s bought “Collegiate Navy” patent leather-based overlays, gold detailing, and an easygoing white/gray base. The navy and white palette, echoing Yankees uniforms, makes the Bronx Information pop-up title all of the extra becoming. Furthermore, as an added bonus, Tyshawn and co. will unveil one other upcoming colorway on the pop-up on June sixth.
The “Collegiate Navy” Tyshawn II and a collection of matching attire – together with a monitor jacket, pants, and T-shirt — launch June 1st by way of skate retailers and adidas channels. The Bronx Information pop-up will probably be open June fifth–eighth from 1–8 PM each day at 203 Spring St, NYC.
