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. If there's one shoe we're happy to see again, it's the Stan Smith Vulc - arriving in an ultra-clean White/Pale Nude/Gold colourway.
The upper of the shoe, being a Stan Smith, is of course made from a supple yet durable white leather, providing the iconic style that has brought said shoe so much success. Adidas' signature Three Stripes are perforated into the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, looking very classy and also enhancing breathability, and the tongue features the usual Stan Smith portrait label in black, white and gold. The heel comes in a contrasting yet complementing nude colour, featuring a tonal embossed Trefoil logo to further enhance the subtle style of the shoe overall. The midsole comes in white and the outsole comes in gum, perfectly capping off the cleanest colourway in the adidas SP17 range.
The shoe has been optimised for skateboarding in a few very useful ways. Firstly, a moulded EVA midsole has been incorporated, which provides incredibly responsive cushioning under the whole of the foot. Boardfeel isn't lost, though, thanks to the sole being vulcanized to bring the foot and board closer together (whilst improving durability at the same time). Finally, the outsole features adidas' patented Vector Traction technology, which lets you skate in confidence that your feet are secure on your board.
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.
