adidas teams up with Sporty & Rich to rework the Blanc—a silhouette based on the lesser-known Diamant. While it isn’t pulled directly from the archive, the Blanc still leans into familiar heritage cues. Serrated 3-Stripes, a slim toe box, and herringbone rubber outsole all nod to vintage adidas court shoes, but the build feels fresh and updated.
Sporty & Rich dresses the upper in crisp white leather, letting the clean lines do the talking. Subtle hits of “Court Green” appear on the heel tab and branding, delivering contrast without overloading the look. A curved collar softens the profile, while the slim shape keeps it low-key and versatile.
This isn’t a shoe trying too hard. It strips back any fuss and leans into classic design language with careful restraint. Sporty & Rich’s influence is clear—it draws from 70s and 80s sportswear but keeps things tidy, letting materials and construction carry the weight.
Perfect for casual days or elevated fits, the “White Court Green” colourway works across seasons. The Blanc won’t dominate headlines like a retro Superstar, but this collab proves it doesn’t need to. It’s refined, grounded, and sharply considered.
