The Ivy Park universe: every drop, ranked

April 2026 · 9 min read

In January 2020, Beyoncé and Adidas released the first piece of what would become the most ambitious musician-led ready-to-wear partnership in modern sportswear history. It was called Drip 2 (the original Ivy Park, with Topshop, was Drip 1 in retrospect), and it sold out in minutes. Over the next three years, six more drops followed: Icy Park, Halls of Ivy, Ivy Heart, Ivytopia, Harlequin, and a final unnamed clearance run. Each had its own world. Each had its own visual identity. Each had its own ambitions for what an athletic-wear collaboration could be.

The partnership ended in 2023, reportedly over revenue projections that fell short of Adidas's expectations. Beyoncé moved on to Levi's. Adidas moved on, full stop. What remains is a body of design work that, viewed three years later, looks more coherent and more collectible than the contemporary press treated it. The Ivy Park universe is the rare case of a celebrity-led line that actually built a universe: a complete visual language, sustained over multiple drops, with internal references and a recognisable design grammar.

For collectors, the value proposition is unusual. Ivy Park was produced in larger quantities than most musician collaborations and at lower price points, which means the resale market is full of the line. That kept prices low for years. But the universe is now closed. No new Ivy Park is coming. As inventory ages and the most popular pieces start to thin out, the secondary market is starting to behave like a real collector's market for the first time.

The drops, ranked.

Icy Park (January 2021) sits at the top. The ski-lodge campaign produced the line's most iconic image set, and the pieces back it up. The maroon puffer jacket is the standout, holding $130 to $180 on resale, slightly below its $200 retail but still strong for a piece that has been on the secondary market for five years. The Icy Park polar fleece pullover, in forest green or rust, is the underrated piece: roughly $80 on resale, technically sportswear, structurally minimalist, reads in any wardrobe.

Halls of Ivy (October 2021) is the second-tier collector's choice and arguably the better wear-it-now buy. The varsity jacket, the pleated skirt, the satin-trim hoodies translate into normal wardrobes more easily than the more campaign-driven Icy Park pieces. Prices sit at $150 to $200 for the varsity, $90 to $120 for the rest. The market has not yet appreciated how rare the burgundy varsity in size M will become once the pool of casual sellers exhausts.

Drip 2 (January 2020) is the grail. The first Adidas-era drop, sold in much smaller quantities than the drops that followed, and never reissued. The red-and-black running set is the iconic piece, and it now commands $300 or more when it appears. The Ultraboost OG in purple, originally $200, trades at $260 on StockX in deadstock. These are the Ivy Park pieces that behave most like collectible Yeezys: scarce, cult, appreciating.

I always wanted to give people something that lifted them up. The Ivy Park universe is built around that. Every drop, every piece, every campaign image is meant to feel like an invitation.

Ivy Heart (February 2022) was the Valentine's drop. Heart graphics, soft pinks and reds, a more romantic visual identity than the rest of the universe. Pricing has softened significantly: pieces that retailed at $90 now move at $40 to $60, which is below cost-per-wear for most of the inventory. Buy on impulse, do not buy for flip.

Ivytopia (June 2022) leaned fantasy: holographic fabrics, butterfly prints, neon palettes. The most polarising drop within the Ivy Park core fanbase. Prices have softened more aggressively than any other drop, with some pieces trading at 30 to 40 percent of original retail. The chrome bodysuit and the butterfly track set have a small but committed collector base; the rest of the drop is buy-only-if-you-love-it territory.

Harlequin (November 2022) was the final styled drop. Diamond patterns, jester silhouettes, more obviously costume than wearable. It sold poorly at retail and trades poorly on resale; pieces are widely available at 50 percent below their original prices. Worth knowing about for completion. Not worth recommending as a collector's entry point.

A note on sizing: Ivy Park was produced in XXS to 4X across most pieces, a wider range than nearly any other collaboration in the Besot index. This means the resale market has more sizes available than most collab catalogues, and the premium for rare sizes is lower than usual. Adidas women's runs true to size across the line; women's is one size up from men's equivalent. Drip 2 ran tight, but every subsequent drop corrected this.

The Ivy Park universe is closed, but it is not over. As the inventory ages and the casual sellers exhaust, the iconic pieces, the maroon puffer, the burgundy varsity, the Drip 2 running set, will start to behave more like collector items than discount sportswear. The window to buy at current prices is open, and it will not stay open forever.

Buy the Icy Park puffer. Buy the Halls of Ivy varsity. Watch Drip 2.

Look 1

Icy Park, the standout

Maroon puffer, snow-white ski pants, chunky boots, oversized goggles. The campaign was shot on a faux ski lodge set, all warm wood interiors and falling fake snow, and every piece is built around that aesthetic. The maroon puffer is the iconic piece, but the polar fleece pullover is the sleeper buy: it retailed under $90, sells for $80, and reads as both Ivy Park and Helmut Lang depending on how you style it.

Sizing
Adidas women's runs true. Outerwear allows for layering. The puffer is generously cut; size down if you want the cropped silhouette from the campaign images.

Halls of Ivy, the wearable one

The October 2021 drop pivoted to varsity-academia: letterman jackets, pleated skirts, satin-trim hoodies in burgundy and forest green. These are the Ivy Park pieces that translate cleanest into normal wardrobes, which is why they hold value above the more campaign-driven drops. The Halls of Ivy varsity is the keystone.

Sizing
Letterman fits true to standard women's; the chest is roomy, the sleeve is long. Order your usual size.

Drip 2, the grail

January 2020, the first drop of the Adidas-era partnership. Sold out in minutes, never restocked. The red-and-black running set is the most iconic Drip 2 piece and the rarest on resale; when it appears, it goes inside a week. Buy on sight if you find your size.

Sizing
Drip 2 sizing was tight by Ivy Park standards; later drops corrected this. Size up one for comfort, especially in tops.
