Melbourne’s signature uniform just got an upgrade. Linking up with adidas Consortium, UP THERE delivers a stealthed-out take on the UP THERE x adidas Consortium ‘MELBOURNE’, and this one hits different.
Rooted deep in the archives, this pair pulls inspiration from a rare all-black version of the adidas Rome—originally built for military use. That influence shows up in the clean, tactical colour blocking, but don’t get it twisted—this isn’t just another triple-black sneaker.
Instead of loud colours, it’s all about texture. You’re getting a premium mix of tumbled leather, rough-cut suede, and polished finishes that subtly flex under the light. It’s understated, but it speaks volumes—just like Melbourne’s street culture.
Details stay lowkey but intentional. Green lace tips and a custom sockliner quietly rep UP THERE, while the tongue stamped “MADE FOR UP THERE” reminds you this isn’t a general release—it’s personal.
Comfort doesn’t take a back seat either. With a padded leather lining, performance insole, and stacked EVA midsole, this pair is built for everyday wear without losing that premium edge.
The UP THERE x adidas Consortium ‘Melbourne’ exclusive release will be available only through UP THERE, dropping in-store on May 7 at 10:00AM (AEST), followed by the online launch later that day at 6:00PM (AEST). If you’re trying to secure a pair, timing is everything—don’t sleep.
