Adidas Skateboarding began its journey in 1989, when the company established a dedicated section specifically for skateboarding. Since then, they’ve been crafting skate shoes that blend style, durability, and performance.
Samba Influence: In the 1990s, skateboarders discovered the iconic Adidas Samba Silhouette. It became a common choice in skate parks and skate fashion. However, in 2006, Adidas introduced its own dedicated skate shoe, the Busenitz, which drew inspiration from the Samba.
Busenitz Shoes: Inspired by classic football shoes, the Busenitz combines style and functionality for skateboarding.
Superstar ADV Shoes: A remodel of the iconic Superstar, optimized for skateboarding
Samba ADV x Kader Shoes: A skate version of the timeless Samba Silhouette
Tyshawn Shoes: Designed in collaboration with pro skater Tyshawn Jones
The adidas Skateboarding team plays a crucial role in shaping the brand's skate shoes. They collaborate with renowned skaters such as Mark Gonzales, Dennis Busenitz, Benny Fairfax, and Lucas Puig to create high-performance footwear that meets the demands of skateboarding.
With over eighty years of experience in producing sport-specific footwear, adidas combines classic silhouettes, colorways, and materials to deliver shoes fit for purpose on the streets and ramps.
Over the years, Adidas has continued to evolve its skate shoe technology, incorporating elements like BOOST, Primeknit, and AdiPrene.
Their commitment to skateboarding extends beyond footwear, with a range of apparel designed for skaters.
So whether you're hitting the vert, grinding rails, or just cruising, Adidas Skateboarding has you covered!
