adidas and Beyoncé return to present the latest adidas x IVY PARK collection: IVY PARK RODEO.
Inspired by the inimitable style and undeniable influence of Black cowboys and cowgirls, the “IVY Park Rodeo” collection celebrates the formidable impact of Black men and women on American Western culture. Additionally, the collection celebrates the oft-hidden history of Black pioneers within cowboy and cowgirl culture and their continued influence and impact on the American Rodeo.
The Collection
A bold celebration of classic Americana reimagined for today. This is a refreshingly contemporary take on classic Western wear. IVY PARK Rodeo is where audacious design meets thoughtfully remixed classic streetwear and athletic wear inspired by the Black cowboy experience.
The collection features 58 adult apparel styles, 5 adult footwear styles, and 13 different accessories. Boasting dark denim fabrics and washed heavy French terry materials throughout, the apparel and accessories are elevated with unique denim monograms and bold purple glow cow prints. Utilitarian-inspired zips and snap fastenings complete the details.
Highlights from the apparel collection include a denim bodysuit and wide leg snap pants, a denim tracksuit, a washed French terry hoodie and matching sweatpants, denim chaps, a denim bucket hat, and a small cotton canvas waist bag.
The footwear offering is exciting, with two colorways of the IVP Ultraboost – one which mimics the look of denim and a new colorway for the IVP Forum Mid. In addition, this collection introduces the new IVP Super Sleek “Chunky,” with an exaggerated outsole combined with a classic upper in two dynamic colorways.
The fourth IVY PARK collection launched exclusively on adidas.com for 24 hours on August 19th and a wider global launch on August 20th.
