adidas Superstar ADV
No other skate shoe captures the vibe of skate culture quite like the adidas Superstar. The latest version comes with a fresh construction that makes the Superstar even more skate‑ready. Extra stitching in high‑stress zones, a one‑piece tongue for a perfect fit, and a super flexible cupsole deliver optimal grip on your deck.
adidas Samba ADV
The Samba ADV stays true to its roots while feeling fully at home on a board. Adituff in the suede toe area protects you during every flick, while Geofit padding and the sock‑like inner construction give you a locked‑in, precise fit. The grippy Vector‑Traction outsole with Pivot Point adds control during rotations – a skate shoe that blends style heritage with functional performance.
