Due in no small part to a certain pop megastar, adidas has had Puerto Rico on lock in recent years. Today’s headline, however, doesn’t originate on the island itself, but rather in the heavily Puerto Rican city of Jersey City, NJ, where local boutique Sneaker Room is showing love to its community both near and far with an Adistar Control 5 that’s just as lively as the people who inspire it.
Founded by Suraj Kaufman, a philanthropist with giveback initiatives spanning Puerto Rico, India, and his hometown of Jersey City, Sneaker Room delivers a clean colorway rooted in the Puerto Rican flag. A striking blue mesh base is complemented by red stripes, while white and reflective silver land across the overlays. The tongue stands out as the most notable detail, featuring an interlocking “PR” logo attached via a velcro patch. Underfoot, the outsole goes in a completely different direction, featuring a colorful mix of green, yellow, blue, and red.
This continues a run of Adistar Control 5 collaborations, following projects with Larry June, Shake James, and most notably Unheardof’s “Piggy Runner” collection.
The Sneaker Room x adidas Adistar Control 5 “Puerto Rico” drops first in PR at an event on May 16th, with a wider stateside release expected shortly after. See official images below and stay tuned for updates.
If you’re a checks over stripes type, check out the Nike Shox R4 “Puerto Rico.”
