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. First up we have the Suciu ADV, making a welcome return after a brief hiatus, in a Black/Gold/Gum colourway.
The upper has been predominantly constructed from a super durable black suede, which wraps from the toebox to the heel via the midfoot to provide great support too. Offsetting that is a mesh around the ankle collar and heel, providing breathability and flexibility and coming in the same black colour as the suede. The focus on the upper is on the Three Stripes, featuring on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe in bright gold and running parallel with gold Suciu text. Gold also appears on the tongue via custom Suciu branding, and aside from that and the red lining, the upper is fairly muted - never a bad thing. The midsole comes in a deep gum, complementing the gold stripes nicely, and the outsole comes in black, matching the upper.
Inside the shoe, an ADIPRENE sockliner provides excellent cushioning and comfort, and combines with the midsole via an ADIPRENE drop-in piece to ensure that board feel isn't sacrificed. An asymmetrical collar has been incorporated to provide added support around the ankle, and an internal bootee offers a secure, locked-in fit. Finally, the outsole does of course feature a multidirectional Vector Traction pattern to ensure 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.
