"Being cut from my sixth-grade soccer team to now creating a shoe for our MLS soccer team, FC Cincinnati, shows that you can never give up on yourself, and that each failure is an opportunity to learn and get better," said Philip Lipschutz, founder of UNHEARDOF. "FC Cincinnati is more than a club to me. It's a brand, a community, and a team leading the culture the right way! ALL FOR CINCY." The "Orange Kit" colorway ($150) pays tribute to the uniforms FC Cincinnati wore when they captured the Supporters' Shield in 2023. The uppers are FCC Orange nubuck with an FCC Blue collar lining, and chalk white toeboxes and tongues. The iconic 3 Stripes are metallic silver leather, representing the Supporters' Shield trophy. The "Orange Kit" upper features a wraparound graphic of the team's motto "All For Cincy" debossed in gothic 3M reflective silver. All this sits atop a chalk white rubber cupsole with a translucent gum rubber outsole. "We are thrilled to have brought this partnership to life," said Jeff Berding, President & Co-CEO, FC Cincinnati. "This shoe is inspired by and created for our fans, as we celebrate 10 years of FC Cincinnati together. We're proud to have collaborated with a great partner in adidas, as well as an iconic local brand in UNHEARDOF, and we're excited to see these shoes at TQL Stadium, around Cincinnati and beyond."
