About the release
The UP THERE x adidas Melbourne “White Dark Green” is a proper archive driven collaboration that feels like a new City Series chapter, not a quick colour swap. For their first Consortium project, UP THERE used Melbourne’s sporting history as the blueprint, pulling references from a 1956 Melbourne Olympics track spike and early Rod Laver tennis shoes, then rebuilding the idea with modern comfort and careful finishing. If you collect adidas drops or you follow boutique led design, it is worth tracking UP THERE releases closely.
The colourway keeps it classic with Footwear White, Dark Green and Off White, then the details do the talking. Think biscuit midfoot cues, a slim suede collar, gold foil branding, and a vintage foam tongue inspired by an Australian made adidas ROME, finished with a modified label reading “MADE BY UP THERE”.

Design and details
This one is built on references, but it still looks wearable. The mesh upper is the Rod Laver nod, while the suede and leather overlays borrow their shapes and textures from a 1956 Melbourne Olympics running spike. The colour palette was also pulled from archive inspiration, which explains the slightly aged, off white tone alongside the crisp green.
Comfort and build quality are a big part of the brief. UP THERE went with a padded, leather lined heel and a performance focused insole approach, plus a low profile die cut midsole that keeps the stance slim without feeling harsh underfoot.
The signature detail is the foam tongue. It is refined to replicate an Australian made adidas ROME reference and finished with a “MADE BY UP THERE” label, which is a small line that tells you exactly what this collaboration is about.

Where to buy
For the UK, start with adidas on release day, then check select retailers that carry adidas Consortium drops. Stock looks limited, so being ready at launch time matters more than usual on pairs like this.
If you missed the UP THERE launch, the adidas release is your best second chance. After that, sizes can get patchy fast, especially in the most common runs.
