adidas Skateboarding | Partnership with Harold Hunter Foundation

adidas Skateboarding will once again partner with The Harold Hunter Foundation (HHF) for the second year to host a series of special events rooted in the worlds of art, photography, and skateboarding—realms close to the heart of the late legendary skateboarder, Harold Hunter. 

"We’re excited to highlight both the diversity and universality of the skateboarding community," says HHF co-founder and Executive Director Jessica Forsyth. "This year, we have a range of events that celebrate both the local and global appeal of skateboarding and speak to the power of skateboarding as a cultural force that brings people together and creates wonderful opportunities for community building."

The 2018 Harold Hunter Weekend will take place at multiple locations across New York City kicking off with a book release party of Patrik Wallner’s The Eurasia Project. Sponsored in partnership with adidas, the photobook chronicles the travels of Wallner and his companions under the name Visualtraveling, exploring 101 countries across Europe and Asia throughout the last decade.

Now in its twelfth year, the Harold Hunter weekend festivities celebrates everything Harold from skateboarding, art, music, friends, family, and The Big City with this year’s events paying homage to the rising force of women within the skate community. Special to this year’s women empowerment theme, HHF is working closely with Arianna Gil, member of HHF and Founder of Brujas, the all-girls skate collective of New York.

Celebrating unity through skateboarding, adidas Skateboarding and HHF will host a special All Gender Skate Jam at Performance Space New York. Industrial designer Jonathan Olivares recreates the city’s iconic skate spot, 12th & A with skateable installations comprised of pink concrete ledges and extended bleacher. Inspired by the original inner-city New York skate park that gained global recognition for its customizable obstacles and ledges, the city of New York can experience the glory days of 12th & A once again for the special one-day event.

Along with the All Gender Skate Jam, adidas and HHF also present additional activities around the city including a panel discussion and more.

adidas Skateboarding | 3ST Wear Test Barcelona

adidas Skateboarding llevó a cabo el pasado sábado 14 de abril un Wear Test en la ciudad de Barcelona con motivo del lanzamiento de su última franquicia de zapatillas: 3ST. Lo que iba a ser todo un día de patín, desde por la mañana en La Bóbila DIY (Badalona) hasta la tarde en Macba, tuvo que ser modificado por la lluvia. Aun así, las condiciones meteorológicas no impidieron probar y sentir sobre la tabla el feeling de las nuevas 3ST.001 y 3ST.002 a todos los riders e invitados tanto por la marca como por el partner Rufus Skateshop, una de las tiendas más relevantes de skateboarding tanto en la ciudad condal como en todo el panorama internacional, donde tuvo lugar el seeding de 3ST

adidas 3ST.001

adidas Skateboarding introduces the new 3ST family of footwear. The inaugural product of the brand’s new open source workshop design approach, 3ST is the brainchild of top designers and athletes coming together to disrupt and re-define skate shoes, and create the future of adidas Skateboarding.

adidas 3ST.002

adidas designers worked closely with Na-kel Smith and other professional skateboarders on the development of the 3ST.001 and 3ST.002, two forward-thinking, vulcanized silhouettes that seamlessly blend style and function. Alongside skateboarder input, the design process was also driven by enhanced aesthetics, premium materials, and new design lines.

3ST is a perfect example of what can be achieved with open dialogue, open minds, and true collaboration between a team of artists in their respective crafts—a bold creation that reimagines the vulcanized shoe in the skateboarding industry,” said Scott Johnston, adidas Skateboarding Senior Footwear Designer. “The best part of the workshop process was involving our skateboarders so early on in the design process to ensure the products’ authenticity to the team and skateboarding.

The TORSION® system featured on both 3ST models provides arch support in the midfoot, allowing for easy adaptation of quick movements to enhance response and stability. This proprietary technology is paired with a modern vulc construction and a Geoflex outsole tread, delivering unparalleled grip and flexibility for optimal boardfeel and control.

The 3ST.001 features a breathable knit sock upper reinforced by both suede and complemented by adiTuff technology at the forefoot—strategically placed to protect critical, high abrasion areas where needed to prolong the life of the shoe. Elevated, inset laces ensure minimal breakage, while a semi-translucent outsole showcases the dual-density TORSION® inside.

Fashioned in a minimalist build, Smith provides his creative input to assist in re-imagining the slip-on with the sleek 3ST.002, a mid-top silhouette, innovative in design and function. The unexpected silhouette features a one-piece perforated suede upper, lined with breathable mesh on the interior, and equipped with a TPU cage for lateral stability. The all-new vulc outsole provides optimal board support and rounds out the performance features for the 3ST.002.

The all-new 3ST.001 and 3ST.002 silhouettes will be available at specialty adidas retailers worldwide and adidas Skateboarding website starting April 5.
