This Week’s Top Story

Adidas opens its new Wicker Park flagship at 1532 North Milwaukee Avenue today. With design details inspired by the L, the shop is one of the largest Adidas Originals retail outposts in the world.

To mark the opening, the brand has released a limited-edition shoe called the EQT Support ADV Wicker Park ($150). There are only 350 pairs of the locally inspired shoe—a label on its tongue is inspired by Wicker Park’s famous crossroads, and its red, white, and blue accents nod to the city’s flag.
