Adidas Skateboarding has done something proper interesting this time. They've brought together two worlds, two vibes, two scenes that don't always hang out together, you know? Football and skating.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Football and skating? What's that about?" Well, it's not as random as it sounds. Think about it. Skaters have always been drawn to those classic football shoes, the Gazelles and the Sambas. They're sturdy, they've got that grippy rubber sole, perfect for the board. Plus, they look damn good, don't they? Adidas has tapped into that connection, that shared love for style and function.
This time, they've teamed up with Familia Skateshop, a legendary spot in Minnesota, home to one of the best indoor skate parks in the whole country. They're the heart of the skate scene up there, you know? And they've brought in Minnesota United FC, the local football team, to complete the picture. It's a proper celebration of community and shared passion.
The star of the show? The Gazelle ADV. It's a skate version of the iconic Gazelle, but with a twist. It's decked out in the colors of Minnesota United FC, featuring premium nubuck and suede for that extra touch of class. Look closer, and you'll see "MNUFC" on one shoe and "Familia" on the other, running alongside those classic white Three Stripes. It's a subtle nod to the collaboration, a reminder that this is more than just a shoe—it's a story.
But it's not just about the shoes. There's also a long-sleeved shirt inspired by the old Skate Copa, made from a thick waffle jersey with cool paneling and the loon logo—a nod to Minnesota's state bird. And they've even got a collaborative skate deck, complete with Familia and adidas branding, ready for some serious shredding.
This whole collection is limited. It's about exclusivity and being part of something special. So, if you're looking for something unique, something that speaks to your love for both football and skating, you need to check this out. It's available at adidas.com and familiaskate.com. Don't sleep on it.
