Hope everybody had a good and safe 4th! As you probably know, the adidas Campus Hi won as the style of shoe for the adidas x SLAP shoe. Now it's time to pick the colorway! We have a brown version, a black and gray, a black and blue, and a red one. This is by no means the final design of the shoe, rumors of corduroy details and an insole of Slap pal avatars have been floating around. Vote now the best colorway for the adidas skateboarding x SLAP shoe! If you have a detailed opinion, let it be heard. Judd also update his blog with some 4th of July activities.

Attention SLAP Pals- The mass of industry-rocking opinion and expression that is you has just been given something that hasn't happened before. The crew at adidas skateboarding approached us here at headquarters with an offer to make a shoe designed via slapmagazine.com. What that means is that you, the readers and users of slapmagazine.com, get to build a special adidas skate shoe by way of polls and comments on the website. Choose the model, choose the colorway, get in on the whole design and manufacturing process, and come next summer, a chance to wear your own creation. The choosing/design process will go on for about six weeks, with regular updates from adidas, and then off it will go for sampling and eventually manufacturing. We start off today by showing the four models available, and you¹ll have about two weeks to vote on your favorite. The main poll and comment station will be on our home page of slapmagazine.com as well as as a link in the forums. Give a big thanks to adidas skateboarding for recognizing the SLAP Pals, and start casting your votes! The adidas shoe that you are voting on will be the sole and exclusive property of adidas. By voting, you hereby assign adidas any ownership right which you may have in connection with the adidas shoe.
