DROPPED OCTOBER 2023 – The adidas x IVY PARK NOIR collection – the final of this collaboration – has dropped on adidas. Bookmark this page to stay up-to-date and shop
If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember I was lucky enough to attend the preview of the launch of Ivy Park at Topshop Oxford Circus back in 2016 when it first launched in the UK. As the event got closer and closer, I got so excited! I went from 0 to 100 in about 5 minutes of entering the building!
When I got home just before midnight, I jumped straight online to write the original version of this blog post. I shared all my immediate thoughts with you before you dived in to do your own shopping, especially surrounding how the Ivy Park sizing came up and share a little about the pieces I picked out for myself.
I’ve kept this post updated with (almost)every single launch… and I had to come back to celebrate the final collection in this collaboration,ADIDAS x IVY PARK NOIR…
adidas x IVY PARK is wrapping up with NOIR
I’ve lost count of how many collections there have been between adidas and IVY PARK, but this one sadly is the final one. There have been some memorable collections including the #PELOTONPARK capsule collection, the first to feature another brand, but Bey is back with yet another exclusive adidas only range.
Branded as a collection that upholds fearless confidence, celebrating those that move through the world, unapologetic in their self-expression. These are signature IVY PARK silhouettes that embody power, freedom and individuality.
IVY PARK NOIR intentionally draws focus to fabric, fit and texture through the use of a singular colour – black – cultivating enduring elegance through sensual material play.
The collection promises to continue with the inclusive sizing for every shape and person that we’ve come to love.
When Does IVY PARK NOIR Drop?
The adidas x IVY PARK NOIR collection dropped on October 12th here at adidas.co.uk/ivypark. It seems early access for ICON & GAMECHANGER level Creator Club members wasn’t a thing this time – or at least I didn’t get a notification.
Standby to find out if / when it will be available on ASOS.com. I’m not sure I can recommend ASOS UK though – they took 10 days to get my IVY PARK RODEO order to me. Adidas delivery is much quicker at 24-48 hours.
Where To Buy Ivy Park in 2023
Well, since the very first launch, there were a few more collections exclusively sold in Topshop and then ASOS. In 2020, Ivy Park announced that they would be joining forces with Adidas to launch the adidas x IVY PARK clothing range. I’m a huge fan of both brands so I was excited to see what came of it.
Well, the first nine, ten or eleven (I’m not sure lol) collaborations dropped and now the adidas x IVY PARK NOIR collection – the final one – is here. As before, I envisage that pieces will also available at JD Sports and ASOS in the days after the drop on Adidas. I’ve added an Adidas Global link below; all other links on this page will take you directly to Adidas UK* (or your own regional site).
UPDATE – If you miss out on Adidas, then check out ASOS via the link below, which worked for me last time.
Welcome to IVY PARK NOIR
“Elevated Monochrome Form Meets Innovative Material Function In Ivy Park Noir – A Capsule Wardrobe From adidas X IVY PARK”
The IVY PARK NOIR Collection:
A celebration of movement and materiality, the all-black capsule champions the human form, through silhouettes that epitomize power, freedom and individuality.
The new range represents a culmination of the two brands’ work together, combining adidas’ athletic and functional excellence, with IVY PARK’s signature emphasis on shape, and trend-defying creative vision. Using a singular, black colour palette, IVY PARK NOIR intentionally draws focus to fabric, fit and texture, cultivating enduring elegance through sensual, material play.
Considering all chapters of an active way of life- from warm up, to cool down- the collection elevates one’s everyday pursuits through a mix of tight and loose fitting styles. Fabrications include luxurious embossed leather, exposed mesh and lacquered latex that combine to create a complex yet sophisticated capsule. Standout pieces include body-con cropped top and pant, relaxed 3-D molded knit sweatsuits, multifunctional jackets, and the IVY PARK signature jersey.
IVY PARK NOIR’s head to toe offering includes bold and innovative footwear that re-imagines a new era of style and function. Sleek molded and debossed elements add an architectural foundation to the collection’s sneakers, while a chunky, over the knee boot offers utilitarian fantasy.
With over less than 15 pieces, it shouldn’t be too hard to choose your standout items this time. Let me know what your favourites are?!

With previous launches, I would always notice more hits on this page, but actually it seems the hype may have died down? I’ve signed up to be notified on IG when IVY PARK post so for once, I knew this IVYTOPIA collection was coming up.
Someone really needs to help a girl out and add me to the PR list. Please and Thank You.
So for once, I got enough warning in order to update this post before launch day.
Things have seemed a little calmer in regards to the shopping process for the last few collections with the majority of items not selling out. So just add the items you want to your basket and check out… but you’re probably advised to be as quick as possible so you don’t miss out.
Oh, and pray the Adidas payment portal actually works.
I was about to shop a previous range through early access, added the pieces I wanted to my basket and started checkout then as I was about to pay, the screen refreshed and said my basket was empty. I took that as a sign lol.
This time though, through early access, everything was calm and worked smoothly.
Number 1. There Will Be More…
For the last however many years, this was the number one need to know about the Ivy Park collections – that there would always be more. After the partnership with Topshop came to an end, Ivy Park then partnered up with ASOS and JD Sports where select pieces are typically available a day or two after the main launch.
For previous “DRIPS”, adidas released the collections bit by bit, so usually if you missed out immediately, things would be restocked. More recently, things haven’t been selling out in minutes like they have in the past. However, it seems there may have been very limited stock numbers for NOIR.
Each range, there has always been something for everyone. And the NOIR collection, although small, has an array of feminine pieces in standard sizing and plus size. They’ve also continued to include gender neutral, or all gender pieces, have no specific mens pieces and just a few accessories (which usually sell out the quickest, as they are the cheapest).
IVY PARK NOIR | adidas X IVY PARK (OCTOBER 2023)
OCTOBER ’23 Drop: each collection seems to come with its very own colour palette and the IVY PARK NOIR collection can only be described as “elevated monochrome” – an all-black capsule collection.

Number 2. Ivy Park Pricing
In comparison to previous ranges from back in 2016, the new adidas collaborations are quite a bit more expensive. Typically, the accessories have been the most affordable pieces.
This small capsule collection doesn’t quite feel affordable though. The most expensive pieces are footwear – the Ultra Boost Shoes (£170) and the Savage Trail Shoes (£160).
Previously I’d always said if you’re used to shopping in lululemon or Sweaty Betty the prices won’t put you off. Although ICY PARK was next level with prices, these pieces are ‘smaller’ (literally) so don’t seem as crazy expensive.
Tip – If something you like is sold out, just check the website again in the following days. I wanted an Ivy Park backless cap on launch day but it was sold out. I added my email address to be notified when it came back in stock and as yet haven’t heard back. However, I went back on the website to get some more info to update this post and guess what, it’s in stock again!
Number 3. Ivy Park Sizing
In the past, the sizing has always been pretty true to size. Recently, sizing was updated with a number of different fits including tight fit for women, oversized for women, plus size pieces, gender neutral regular fit and gender neural oversized.
Specifically, the IVYTOPIA collection has been “crafted with every shape and person in mind” featuring silhouettes for all genders, with sizes ranging from [XS] to [4X].
Here’s some guidance on how to choose the correct size:
Order your usual women’s size for a compressive fit. For a slim fit that’s less compressive, size up. It’s designed to accentuate the female form, this tight, compressive fit hugs every curve.
Order your usual men’s size for the oversized look. For women, it’s recommended to size down. These items are oversized, genderless, and made for impact, this fit is large with volume throughout the sleeves and body.
Yes! Order your usual women’s size for the oversized look. Crafted specifically for women, this oversized fit makes a statement with its loose and voluminous proportions.
Order your usual men’s size for a regular fit. For women, we recommend sizing down. Created for every body, this genderless fit will be larger on women than on men.
I’m a UK 10 and according to the size charts, I *think* a XS is the size for me in gender neutral. Last time, I was unsure with the sizing for the sweatshirt and went for Size: 10 (S) with the only other viable option being 6 (XS) which I figured would be too small, and the Small worked out okay.
It took me multiple attempts to get my order placed in November and randomly I never got confirmation via the website but did get email confirmation. This process seemed to go a lot smoother for the Rodeo collection so I managed to order a few pieces:
For the FLEX PARK drop, I tried to purchase a couple of the pieces that still had my sizes left, but the site saiid payment was declined no matter what option I chose. I took that as a sign.
My Rodeo order seemed to go down soooooo smooth. All sizes were still available – so maybe people are just a little over the hype?! Same again for the Peloton capsule collection (I returned the two pieces I ordered though).

Previously, I opted for Size 10 (S) in the womxn’s pieces and XS for the gender neutral hoodie. On the site they advise your regular size for a tight fit, and size up for a slim fit.
Number 4. It’s Kinda Fashion…
As per the first seven or eight adidas x IVY PARK collaborations, this collection continues with the more sporty urban street vibe to it than previously.
It still is very much a fashion line though and you’re gonna stand out in the tailored cuts, bold prints and colours.
Number 5. Get Your Discount
Although Adidas offer a student discount on their products, you can’t use it or any other discounts and promotions on this collection. You do however get fast and free delivery if you spend over £50, which isn’t hard! Creator Club members also get free delivery on all orders so remember to log in.
Student discount does work on ASOS though.
If you do purchase any pieces from the range tag me on Instagram (@ellelinton) so I can see what you chose and how you rock it!
So, which IVY PARK collection has been your favourite!
