Adidas Launches Limited Edition Max Fish Sneakers Celebrating 30 Years of the Bar
Max Fish shortly after the move, Jan. 2015
When Max Fish first opened on Ludlow Street in 1989, it quickly became a favored hangout of downtown skateboarders.
Now, years removed from its original location, the rebooted dive bar has teamed up with adidas to create a “super limited run” of skater kicks. Dubbed “Max Fish Campus ADV,” the collaborative shoe comes with a navy suede upper, screen-printed red polka dot infill, and emblazoned with the venue name. The design pays homepage to the blue-and-red polka dot Max Fish motif.

The collaborative sneaker launches July 12, but good luck snagging a pair. It’s a limited run and available exclusively through select national skateboard retailers and Max Fish. A party is also planned, naturally.
Next Sunday (July 14), adidas and Max Fish are hosting a private fete that will “gather friends, family and members of the local skate and art community who have been a part of the bar’s thirty-year legacy.”
As an aside, next month also marks the fifth anniversary of Max Fish relocating from Ludlow to 120 Orchard Street.
