adidas Skateboarding releases a new rendition of its iconic street footwear silhouette. The Campus ADV first debuted in the 80s as a basketball shoe. During the 90s, the model was picked up by skate culture in a time "when skateboarding was evolving and progressing faster than anyone [...] could keep up with."
In 2018, this iconic street footwear silhouette is getting a makeover that will reinforce its aesthetic appeal, as well as its functional properties. The new Campus ADV boasts a burgundy suede upper that is contrasted by crisp white stripes. The design incorporates a 'Bounce' midsole that provides the wearer with superior cushioning and impact absorption. In addition, the 'Geoflex' herringbone tread is included for a strong grip, while the durability is reinforced through a street footwear silhouette with doubled layers in high-abrasion areas.
