A West Coast energy runs through adidas’ plans for NBA All-Star Weekend, anchored less in spectacle and more in community. Willy Chavarria arrives at that intersection with a pair of releases that feel rooted in Los Angeles rather than staged for it, leaning into his own history and the city’s creative networks. Instead of treating basketball as a backdrop, the projects use it as a connective thread between culture, craft, and place.
James Harden introduced the Willy Chavarria adidas Harden Vol. 10 in that context, wearing a version that replaces standard performance textures with a sculpted, almost floral upper. Light catches the metallic silver finish differently from every angle, while small black accents keep the look grounded rather than flashy. The silhouette still reads as a modern hoops shoe, but the surface treatment signals a designer hand rather than a typical athlete colorway.
A separate path leads to Compton, where Chavarria works with the Compton Cowboys on a premium take on the Superstar. Rich suede wraps the upper, custom “Compton Cowboys” lettering appears along the heel, and the metal shell toe carries finely etched Western patterns that tie back to the group’s identity. It’s a subtle blend of heritage sportswear and local symbolism, not a loud tribute.
Both pairs are set to release February 13th at a one-day adidas x Shoe Palace x Willy Chavarria cookout in Los Angeles, accompanied by pop-ups, live music, and local food.
