Crash pads disperse impact forces across wider areas
For her first colorway with adidas Skateboarding, Vitria wanted to base the shoe around the universal textures of street skating. The cracked leather upper takes inspiration from asphalt and other rough surfaces from skate spots, while the reflective stripes, tongue logo, and Vitria sign off on the quarter nod to the glare of city lights and streets signs while pushing around at night. The reflective detailing is also carried through on the mesh tongue, while a handwritten poem in Portuguese from Vitria is feature on the sockliner of the shoe.
