adidas Skateboarding reimagines the ’90s legendary Adimatic silhouette in conjunction with global adidas squad rider Jamal Smith. Smith—famous originator of the ‘Tornado Spin’—co-designed the model, which takes influence from hip-hop production, sample loops, and his own fondness for 360-degree spin techniques.
“I’m ecstatic to be a member of the Three Stripes family.” “I never imagined I’d be able to work with adidas,” says Jamal Smith. “The Adimatic debut makes me experience a combination of emotions—I’m both grateful and puzzled.” It really means everything to me. I’d had the colour and concept in my brain for years. I’ll definitely be skating this model for a while, and I hope the rest of the world does as well.”
The *Adimatic by Jamal Smith* is designed by Smith and has tonal suede overlays for durability over a Black midsole with its signature zig-zag patterns. A Gum outsole for improved traction and abrasion resistance, an ortholite sockliner for added comfort, and Orange nubuck stripes round out the footwear’s style.
The rider-led collaboration pays honour to Philly skateboarding’s tradition while also aiming to boost the contemporary culture, which draws inspiration from the past to build the future.
The Jamal Smith x adidas Adimatic will be available on May 14th at select stores and adidas.com. The suggested retail price is $100.
