The White/Green Colourway
This white and green edition showcases the Tyshawn Low’s sleek silhouette. The predominantly white leather upper provides maximum versatility, while subtle green accents add just enough character without overwhelming the clean aesthetic.
It’s a colourway that references classic skate shoe design – think early 2000s skate culture when simple colorways dominated – while feeling completely contemporary.

Adidas Skateboarding Heritage
Adidas has deep roots in skateboarding culture. While the brand is known for running shoes and football boots, their skateboarding division has consistently produced innovative, rider-driven products. Collaborations with skaters like Mark Gonzales, Dennis Busenitz, and now Tyshawn Jones have created some of skateboarding’s most respected signature models.
The Tyshawn Low represents the latest evolution in this lineage – a shoe designed by an active pro skater who knows exactly what works on and off the board.
Premium Leather Construction
The white leather upper serves multiple purposes:
- Durability: Leather withstands skateboarding’s abrasion better than canvas
- Support: Provides structure and stability during skating
- Easy maintenance: Wipes clean with a damp cloth
- Professional appearance: Clean enough for casual work environments
- Longevity: Quality leather improves with age
- Breathability: Natural material allows air circulation
The Sole That Grips
Skate-specific soles are different from running shoe or casual trainer soles. The Tyshawn Low’s rubber outsole is designed for:
- Board feel: Thin enough to feel the skateboard while providing protection
- Grip: Pattern optimized for skateboard grip tape
- Durability: Compounds that resist wearing down from skating
- Flexibility: Allows natural foot movement during tricks
For non-skaters, this translates to excellent traction on various surfaces and a comfortable, flexible feel during walking.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Tyshawn Low runs true to size with a regular fit. Skate shoes are designed to fit snugly for board control, so they’re not overly roomy. Check our detailed size guide here for conversions.
Fit tip: If you’re between sizes, most skaters prefer to size up slightly for comfort, especially if not using them primarily for skating.
Care Instructions for White Leather Skate Shoes
Keep your Tyshawn Low trainers looking fresh:
- Regular cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth after each wear

- Deep cleaning: Remove laces, wash separately, clean uppers with leather cleaner
- Protection: Apply leather protector spray for stain resistance
- Drying: If wet, stuff with newspaper and air dry naturally
- Laces: Replace when worn for instant refresh
- Storage: Keep in original box when not in use
- For skaters: Accept that skating will wear them – that’s what they’re built for
