Adidas Skateboarding took the Samba silhouette, a great skate shoe on its own, and made it even better. Adidas increased overall stability and support with a molded TPU heel clip and internal mesh bootee. Samba's iconic triangle suede toe cap design is still very much intact wrapped over a leather upper. The directional herringbone tread pattern on the sole adds increased grip and board control. The Sambas were already a great shoe, these improvements just made the Sambas ADV even more durable and comfortable.
