Adidas Skateboarding Samba ADV Skate Shoes

If you skate or play soccer, you've probably owned a pair of Adidas Sambas. The iconic indoor soccer shoe has always been loved by skaters for its flexible construction that molds to the shape of your feet. When you think about it, soccer players are after almost all the same things in their footwear: snug fit, natural flexibility, heel support, dependable grip, and lasting durability. It's no surprise that many people still skate the classic Samba, so Adidas has finally revamped the original with functional features that skaters have grown to expect from modern skate shoes.

The Samba ADV's classic gum sole features a skate specific tread pattern for better grip, a breathable mesh tongue with mesh centering straps for comfort, and a molded heel clip for increased support and stability. The low profile cupsole construction offers an excellent balance of impact protection and board feel.

We've already been skating them and are hyped on the classic look and modern technology with all around skate-ability. After a short break in period they formed to our feet for a comfortable fit with solid support and natural board feel. Our only complaint is that the T-toe design creates a weak spot in the flicking area. After two weeks, one of our testers blew out the seam, leaving a sizeable hole. If you like to skate flat ground do a lot of flip tricks, you are likely to run into the same issue. However, the Samba ADV's supportive yet flexible construction make them a great option if you mostly skate transition, ledges, or rails without focusing on flip tricks.
