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. The Lucas ADV, a standout model since its launch last summer, has arrived in a gorgeous Core Black/Gum colourway, arguably the cleanest shoe of the lot.
The upper has been made of a combination of suede and mesh, the former providing great durability and support around the toe and forefoot areas, and the latter providing great breathability and flexibility around the midfoot and heel. What seems to be a staple of the Lucas ADV is the silver metal eyelets, which appear again here to add a hint of brightness to the upper, and the only other flash of colour comes on the heel, where we see a small turquoise section. The split design of the midsole allows for a white section to wrap around the quarter and heel, and a classy gum section to wrap around the whoe midsole below that and onto the outsole.
Being one of the newest adidas Skateboarding shoes, the Lucas ADV is packed with the Three Stripes' best technology. ADITUFF covers the front of the midsole, providing enhanced durability, and the largely mesh construction ensures great breathability, working in tandem with the textile lining. A slim and responsive foam sockliner provides excellent cushioning under foot, and boardfeel isn't sacrificed thanks to the thin outsole, which also features a herringbone pattern to provide great 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.
