One of New York City’s historic footwear retailers, Tip Top Shoes, is celebrating 85 years in 2025, and to celebrate, they’ve teamed up with adidas for an anniversary release featuring the SL72 and Handball Spezial.
Tip Top Shoes is one of the oldest retailers in New York city, having been established back in 1940. The store has always offered a wide array of footwear, from sneakers to dress shoes and slippers. Tip Top was also one of the early adopters of the Euro Comfort movement in footwear design, and was among the first to bring brands like Birkenstock, UGG, Timberland, Mephisto, and Ecco to the United States.
Celebrating 85 years in business in 2025, Tip Top is honoring their legacy with a special capsule collection in collaboration with adidas, releasing this month. Dropping at both their store and their sister store West NYC on the same block, the pack is comprised of the SL72 and Handball Spezial vintage trainers. First up, the ’72 comes in a dark red color scheme, mixing nylon and suede for the upper, and incorporates dress shoe details like brogue perforations on the stripes and jagged suede edges. The Handball comes in a bright pink color scheme, and is constructed from a knit material with splashes of color throughout.
