The Three Stripes' Skateboarding division has returned for Spring '17, kicking on from where the exceptional Winter '16 collection left off. A host of our favourite styles, as well as some lesser seen ones, have arrived to provide the skateboarding performance and clean style we've been craving. Gonz has partnered with adidas again, too, producing his own take on the Adi Ease which comes in White/Black.
The upper has been made using an exceptional leather, very high in durability and overall quality. Adidas' signature Three Stripes come in a similar white leather, overlaying the base leather on the lateral and medial sides, as does the lacestay. All over the upper we see custom Mark Gonzales artwork, with text scribbled in random areas to create a clean monochromatic colourway. Custom Gonz branding appears on the tongue and heel, too, perfectly capping off a sleek and simple colourway on the whole.
Inside the shoe, an EVA sockliner provides excellent cushioning, letting you skate in comfort for longer periods of time. It works well with the vulcanized outsole, too, with the aforementioned ensuring that boardfeel isn't sacrificed. Durability won't be an issue thanks to an extra AdiTUFF overlay around the front of the midsole, and the gum outsole features a multidirectional herringbone traction pattern for fantastic grip when skating.
Adidas Skateboarding's incredible Spring '17 footwear collection, packed with great skate-optimised technology and some incredibly stylish colourways, is available online here at Attitude Inc. and in our Colchester and Ipswich stores.
