adidas is set to expand its skateboarding shoe line with the inclusion of a collaborative design with French pro boarder Lucas Puig.
Titled the Lucas Premiere ADV, the sneakers feature a colorway of white and a light coral-like hue that's been called 'sunglow' by the brand. As Lucas Puig is considered to be one of the best technical street skateboarders of today, the design incorporates all the durability and balance that's needed by professionals like him. This is done by reducing the weight of the sole to bring the user closer to their board and allow for better control, as well as a reinforced toe that protects the feet and makes the shoes last longer. In addition to being engineered for the purposes of skateboarding, the Lucas Premiere ADV features a simplistic style that allows them to pair perfectly for casual wear.
