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. No adidas Skateboarding collection is complete without a few Busenitz Pros, and the first colourway we see this season is one that first appeared in 2011 - White/Black/Gum.
The upper has been made using a highly durable suede, coming in a colour not too dissimilar from the crystal white that has graced a few adidas shoes recently. Decorative stitching, indicating the influence of the Copa Mundial, wraps around the vamp to give the shoe a streamlined feel, aided further by the sleek black tongue and matching laces. Adidas' signature Three Stripes feature on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, with the former set being supported by gold foil Busenitz text. Rounding off the understated upper is a small black heel clip and black leather hit around the ankle. All the aforementioned sits atop a deep-gum-coloured sole, providing the retro feel that we love adidas so dearly for.
Classic features of the Busenitz Pro remain, including the moulded PU sockliner that provides excellent cushioning and oversized tongue that can be cut down smaller if you prefer. Also returning is the GEOFIT collar that provides an anatomical fit and support, rubber cupsole for durability and great boardfeel, and a Vector Traction outsole pattern for improved grip when skating. It's easy to see why this is the preferred choice of many a skater.
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.
