Portland coffee enthusiasts and sneaker collectors can mark their calendars for October 30, when Deadstock Coffee releases its latest collaboration with adidas. The partnership introduces a custom Adistar Control 5 sneaker, drawing design cues directly from the aesthetics of coffee bag packaging.
Why it matters
This release marks the second time the Portland-based coffee shop has teamed up with the global sportswear giant. For local fans of the intersection between street culture and coffee, it signals a continued influence of local independent roasters on international design.
This marks the second collaboration between Deadstock Coffee and adidas since the shop opened in 2015, following a 2021 project and 2024 work on Jordan Tatum 2s. The release is expected to be limited, though the total production count remains unknown.

Beyond the Bridges
