New York City has long been the heart of sneaker culture, with more shoe stores per square mile than anywhere else in the country. With that much competition around, it can be hard to establish a footprint, and for retailers that have cemented themselves as staples in the city, the work is still never done to stay relevant. At Brooklyn\u2019s WOODstack, the shop\u2019s latest collab is a tribute to the work it takes to keep the lights on and the gate rolled up.<\/p>\n

The WOODstack x adidas<\/a> Adistar Control 5 Blood, Sweat, and Tears is a mix of red, silver, and blue strategically placed to represent the sacrifice it takes to keep a small business thriving. Burgundy mesh covers the base of the upper to represent the \u201cblood of those who continue to sacrifice the time, resources, and energy needed to succeed,\u201d while the silver support panels evoke the gates in front of every WOODstack retail location. The blue overlays stacked on top of the silver structure signify the sweat and tears that come with hard work, but, as WOODstack noted in the Instagram post announcing the shoe, \u201cjoyful, meaningful [tears] that come with success.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Three Stripes has brought a strong focus to the Adistar Control 5 to round out the year, adding collabs with Sporty & Rich<\/a> and Milwaukee sneaker retailer Clicks<\/a> in addition to the upcoming WOODstack pair. Alongside the Control 5, the adidas Adistar line has taken up the mantle as the brand\u2019s most popular line, with Pharrell\u2019s Jellyfish<\/a> and the knockdown XLG 2.0 Squid both making waves this winter.<\/p>\n

The WOODstack x adidas Adistar Control 5 Blood, Sweat, and Tears will be released December 17, 2025 through WOODstack locations in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is still TBD. For all the latest adidas collab news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app<\/a>.<\/p>\n
