Adidas Originals is prepping for the launch of its latest Retropy E5 Pride silhouette. As Pride Month is fast approaching, various brands are releasing their fresh collections that honor and promote the LGBTQIA+ community, and Adidas is no exception.

The new Adidas Originals Retropy E5 Pride is slated to hit the shelves on May 18, at 3:00 AM EDT. These shoes, which are a part of the brand’s “Pride Pack 2022” will be sold via Adidas’ e-commerce website for $130.


Adidas Originals Retropy E5 Pride sneakers are dedicated to the Pride month

Every year the LGBTQIA+ community is celebrated across the globe in the month of June. In line with these celebrations, Adidas will be releasing its new Retropy E5 Pride, created in association with Kris Andrew Small.

Small, the Sydney-based artist, is the brains behind the design and style of the label’s upcoming iteration. Titled as “Cream White/Purple,” these lively pairs appear to be a quirky melange of colors.

Although the complete uppers are covered in off-white and neutral tones, the detailings added with vibrant colors compliment them. The neutral suede construction is discernible on the toe boxes, eyestays, tongues, and heels.

While the off-white textile base, on the other hand, accentuates the medial side of the kicks. This cloth base is covered in engravings representing love hearts, other gender insignia, and other illustrative symbols.

The tongue tags are adorned with a multicolored Trefoil emblem. Adjacent to the tongues, the multi-colored, namely blue, orange, green, and red, D-ring eyelets keep the off-white laces in place.

The most bedazzling part of these shoes is the rubber outsole, which features a mishmash of rainbow hues. These outsoles line the full-length BOOST midsole, kicking up at the back in a classic runner fashion.

Neon yellow heel tabs are also employed to make these shoes. Small’s characteristic symbol is woven into the heel tab, and more of their art is featured on the insole, completing this unique Retropy E5.
