To make an adidas Adistar Control 5 sneaker this nice, it took a lot of hard work. WOODstack, too.

The New York brand has designed its own version of the trendy adidas dad shoe called "Blood, Sweat, & Tears," drawing inspiration from the city's many business owners.

WOODstack's Adistar Control 5 shoe features a beautiful melange of rich burgundy, metallic silver, pink, and sky blue colors, with each hue referencing "the blood, sweat, and tears that power every business," as the brand puts it.

"Deep burgundy represents the blood of those who continue to sacrifice the time, resources, and energy needed to succeed, while the silver represents the store's metal gates that are opened each day, and the blue represents the sweat and tears–joyful, meaningful ones that come with success," reads the press release.

WOODstack is really bigger than the red-hot sneakers and streetwear pieces it carries. Community has always been at the center of everything the brand does, whether it be collaborating with other local businesses or hosting new kinds of events that its neighborhood has yet to see.

The Adistar Control 5 sneaker is the perfect shoe to tell the label's story. It offers a super-cushy setup that helps you get where you need to go, from business meetings to hanging up art in your new store.

Really, the Adistar family has really been thriving here lately, with models getting spins from adidas' biggest collaborators and even enjoying some luxurious general-release makeovers.
