Tyshawn II Adds To adidas Skateboarding’s Rich Legacy With Triple Black Colourway

The Tyshawn II, the latest addition to Tyshawn Jones' signature line with adidas Skateboarding, builds on the success of its predecessor, the Tyshawn, which debuted in June 2019. This new release epitomizes Tyshawn's vision of creating a versatile, stylish shoe that performs exceptionally both on and off the skateboard.

The design of the Tyshawn II draws heavily from the rich archives of adidas, blending classic elements with Tyshawn Jones' unique personal style. This fusion results in a shoe that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. From the sole up, every aspect of the Tyshawn II is a product of close collaboration, reflecting Tyshawn’s input and the legacy of adidas design.

The Tyshawn II, a testament to minimalist yet effective design, is crafted to meet the rigorous demands of skateboarding while maintaining everyday wearability. Key features include a perforated toebox that enhances breathability, ensuring feet stay cool and comfortable during intense skate sessions or casual wear, a dual-layered toe cap that provides extra durability in high-wear areas, extending the shoe's life, and a LIGHTSTRIKE midsole that supports dynamic movements and reduces the shoe's overall weight, making it lighter and more responsive.

To mark the release of the new colorway and to celebrate his first trip to the UK in five years, Tyshawn Jones teamed up with adidas Skateboarding to host a skate jam at Academy Sports in London's Westbourne Grove. This event was more than just a launch; it was a celebration of skate culture and community. The skate jam not only highlighted the new Tyshawn II but also strengthened the bond between Tyshawn and his London fan base, emphasizing the communal spirit that skateboarding fosters.
