Denim Tears and adidas Land at 176 Spring Street November 7

Denim Tears and adidas Originals have a New York sale on Saturday, November 7: the collaboration is available at African Diaspora Goods, the Denim Tears shop at 176 Spring Street in SoHo, from 11am. It is the first address and the first hour either brand has attached to the project, which Sneaker News reported on September 9 as a Superstar 82 and a Stan Smith 80 due in November.

Neither brand has confirmed the shoes by name, and the note lists no products and no price. What it does settle is where and when, and both details fit a pattern the archive already holds.

Canal Street Was the Street. This Is the Address.

On November 4, adidas Originals and Denim Tears said the project was live on Canal Street and named no address, no hours and no products. Three days later the second note supplies all three of the logistics it was missing, minus the products: 176 Spring Street, 11am, November 7.

Canal Street runs along the southern edge of SoHo and Spring Street sits a few blocks north, so the sale is happening on the street where Denim Tears already keeps its flagship. The two notes read as a pair, the first pointing at the neighborhood and the second naming the door.

Three Fridays, Then a Saturday

Denim Tears has sold its recent drops on Fridays at 11am Eastern. Act III pt 1 was released on Friday, June 5 online and at African Diaspora Goods at 11am EST, pt 2 followed on Friday, July 10 at the same hour and place, and Stüssy Tears went on sale Friday, October 16 at 11 AM EST, again with 176 Spring Street on the list.

The adidas date breaks that run. November 7 is a Saturday, the only weekend day among the dated releases above, and the 11am start is the only piece of the routine that survives. A Saturday morning on Spring Street carries a different crowd than a Friday, and Complex's 2023 headline "NYPD Shuts Down Denim Tears Pop Up Shop" is a reminder that this brand has had line problems in this neighborhood before.

A Space Stüssy and Union Held First

African Diaspora Goods opened at 176 Spring Street on March 15, 2024, in the space that Stüssy and Union held before it, a handover that was framed at the time as a passing of the torch. Denim Tears built its first flagship there with Theaster Gates.

The lineage runs both ways. Tremaine Emory, who founded Denim Tears, is a Supreme alumnus on a Stüssy family tree that starts with Shawn Stussy, and in October the shop that once belonged to Stüssy sold the Stüssy Tears collection. The adidas sale is the fourth dated release at this one storefront since June, after Act III pt 1, pt 2 and Stüssy Tears.

41 Street Numbers From the adidas Flagship

adidas Originals runs its own SoHo flagship at 135 Spring Street, less than a block from its previous address at 115 Spring Street, according to WWD. That puts the adidas store and the Denim Tears store 41 street numbers apart on one street.

The November 7 note places the sale at the Denim Tears address and says nothing about the adidas store, so the shop with the longer history in the neighborhood is the one handling the first day. Two brands with flagships on the same street chose the smaller door.

Two Reported Shoes, No Confirmed Price

Sneaker Bar Detroit lists the two reported shoes under style codes LN3808 for the Superstar 82 and LN3810 for the Stan Smith 80, each with a November 2026 window and the price to be announced. Its listing also gives a Multicolor, Cream White and Easy Yellow palette for both, taken from a placeholder page, which makes it a lead and not a specification.

First photos of the Superstar 82 had circulated on November 2, still with no brand confirmation. The sale on November 7 is the first time the brands have given a place and an hour for any of it. Denim Tears has been busy on other fronts in the meantime: the label ran an Osaka residency on October 17 and 18, the two days after Stüssy Tears went on sale,, and its Fall Winter 2026 Drop Two sold through its website, African Diaspora Goods and Lenox Square in Atlanta. This note gives an address, an hour and a date, and the shoes themselves are still a Sneaker News report.

One address, one hour and one Saturday: that is everything the two brands have confirmed about the first adidas Originals project in Tremaine Emory's catalog.
