Black and orange is a winning combination at the moment, as proven by the continued success of VLONE including its collaborative Nike Air Force 1 that dropped a few weeks ago. Adidas' spin on the awesome combination sees a subtle but popping colourway appear on the stellar Busenitz Vulc Samba.
The upper comes predominantly in a black leather, with a black suede overlay featuring on the forefoot in classic Samba style. Perforations run parallel with the bold orange Three Stripes on the lateral and medial sides, as does gold foil Busenitz text (only on the lateral side). Another hit of bright orange appears on the heel, and the tongue bears a woven adidas Busenitz label with hits of gold foil. The vintage feel of the shoe is capped off by the translucent dark gum sole.
Performance is one thing that is simply guaranteed with this shoe. The suede overlay around the forefoot maximises durability, which is already high with the upper being leather. The sole has been vulcanized, making it thinner to improve boardfeel without losing any durability, there's a herringbone traction pattern on the sole for great grip. Finally, comfort is taken care of by the GEOFIT collar that provides anatomical support, and a molded EVA sockliner that protects you against harsh landings.
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.
