The adidas Rivalry Low ‘Mom’s Ugly Couch’ is designed in partnership with Unheardof, whose founder, Phil Lipschutz, looked to his formative years for inspiration. Floral patterns, similar to the design of Phil’s mother’s couch, decorate the powder blue corduroy upper. Leather overlays in a dark tan finish reinforce the forefoot and heel, while red leather accents appear on the signature three-stripes and back tab. ‘Always be a good boy’ is inscribed across the back heel — a message that Phil’s grandmother included in her cards and letters — while the insole displays one of Grandma’s watercolor paintings. The sneaker rests on a gum rubber cupsole, featuring an exposed foam wedge on the medial side.
