First look: adidas Samba ADV by Kader

Introducing the adidas Samba ADV by Kader Sylla – an absolute beaut of a skate shoe.

These bad boys are launching 10 February but before then here’s a look at the shoe and some of its details and features. 

Drawing inspiration from Kader Sylla's personal heritage and skateboarding prowess, the adidas Samba ADV by Kader Sylla is a fusion of style, functionality, and homage. This silhouette features premium dark brown suede, tumbled black leather, and unique rope laces, complemented by a gold foil stamped tongue for a touch of luxury. A tribute to Sylla's family roots in the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire is elegantly woven into the design with orange, white, and green stitching on the heel.

As per other adidas skate shoes, these have been given the usual ADV upgrades. Skate-ready enhancements include an improved T-toe with Adituff reinforcement, a molded sockliner, and tongue wings for stability, alongside a grippy low-profile cupsole for superior board feel and control.

The adidas Samba ADV by Kader will be available to purchase at 00:00 (GMT) on 10 February.
