Great!

Once again, another ’80s-B-ball-inspired low-top pair is introduced, the Nizza RF. It’s a contemporary makeover of the original Nizza, reissued last 2017. The Nizza’s vintage design is refined and reworked, suiting modern times, giving it a fresher, more sophisticated silhouette. Now sleeker, two-toned, with a lower profile and subtler detailing and branding, the Nizza RF retains a sturdy, breathable canvas upper. Of course, its signature toe bumper is always there to point the way. Priced at $80, the Nizza RF from Adidas is a wise, classy choice.

Adidas Nizza RF History

The Nizza is Adidas’s response to Converse's All-Star. It was available in both high and low-top construction, and it hit the basketball courts of the mid-1970s. For a design that is almost fifty years old, the Nizza silhouette has proven it has aged well, as two Nizzas in their original colors and material are reissued in 2017. More importantly, the Nizza is among Adidas’s “100 Best Sneakers of All Time.” Today the Nizza comes in a variety of colorways.
