COFFEE BREAK with the ADIDAS 3ST.004, 3ST.003, and 3MC

[Shufflessss]

The 003s and the city cups have been my favorite shoes hands down. Definitely have to try the 004's after this review!

[art hellman]

The 004s are pretty much the Lucas Premieres and Dorados put together.

and what a combination

I just got a pair of the 3mc, maybe a little long in the toe but otherwise feel great. Looking forward to skating them.

they are a very rad simple shoe. i didnt really give them much shine compared to the 3ST003 & 004... but I think they are a better shoe than the predecessor--the adi-ease.

Interested in the 3st.004 for the boost but can anyone who's got them say if the sizing runs big?

I've tried City Cups in my usual size and the width was good but shoe was too long for me.

The .004 is just a little too big for me in my normal size but for me I think going .5 down would be too small. I'm like a 9.75 in them but that's not a thing. I haven't skated them yet so they might start to feel a little bigger at that point but I don't know yet.

Keep in mind that Adidas is inconsistent between their own half-sizes. Sometimes the jump from one half size to another is 0.20" and sometimes the jump is only 0.10" - you have to actually measure your foot and compare it to their chart (For instance, I wear a Nike 8.5, which is 10.125", but the Adidas 8.5 is 10.20" - whereas both companies' 8 are 10.00").

[Donald Rump]

Thanks dudes, by the sounds of it ide be a size 11.75 in the 3st.004

Sucks to be inbetween sizes with certain shoes. Also sucks living a bumsville and having to order everything online without  being able to try shit on.

[cold budweisers]

adidas sizing is indeed all over the place, i’m a 9 in busenitz, 9.5 in busenitz vulc, 8.5 in city cup and 3st.003, 3st.004 fits true though (for me anyway)
i’d say just get them in your normal size and if you find they’re slightly too big to skate in then keep them as casual shoes, they’re really comfortable

thick or double up on the socks and they will definitely stretch.

That review was right on the money. Thanks! I just went from City Cups to 3st.003 and I'm basically feeling like adidas 4 life at this point. So damn durable. I'm blown away by how long these bad boys last!

[SUPREMENECKPROTECTOR]

Just bought the 003s and put them on my feet. I still think they look like a flaming hot turd but wanted to see how they perform while skating since they got so much praise in here.

I'm a UK10 and I tried a 3st.004 in size UK10 and they were way too tight (width and length).

[Skibb]

I'll just chime in with the .004-praise. I have wide feet, low arches and semi-intense pronation which usually forces me to use all kinds of extra insoles - the 004's are just a treat, both stability and cushioning-wise.

[chillclinton87]

004s are a cool mix with the being thin under the toes and really stable and comfy in the heel- cushion wise too!

[SadandLonely]

We have now entered the twilight zone...

[Vintagebody]

So... How many heels does it take to rip the the boost?

I'm having no issues with the boost from heals or any other tricks, but I did wear through the leather on the white ones from ollies and kickflips in a session. I do ollie high up the shoe though so this might not apply to everyone.

Love the 004,  just wish it had similar protection to the 003. Will have to pre super glue the next pair.

Really? Thats super disappointing. Usually, I also get ollie holes rather quick.

Yes it is disappointing, especially as they are £99... To be fair though, unless the shoes have some sort of ollie protection I go through most shoes very fast. Also I'm not sure if the suede will hold up better then the white leather ones.

Super glued them after the first session to be able to keep skating them as I love how they feel on the board and they look sick.

[moonordie]

That's a deep review, thank you.

[StroudMears]

Ordered these in US 9 and they fit like a full size larger than any Nike SB's I've had in that size.
Unfortunate, they do fit very comfortable.

[Surly]

I'm so confused by the sizing of adidas that I've given up on them for a while. I loved the 3st.001, skated 3 pairs. Saw some campus adv in the same size online, snapped em up, they're enormous. Way too big. So i went to the shop and tried on some 3st.004, size 10 seemed right, 9 definitely too small. Wore them a few days, thinking when they break in they'll be perfect, but instead they feel like my heel is going to slip out constantly. My toe is at the end, they're tight across the top of my foot at about the point where my arch is, and super loose and soft around the heel collar.
At around the same time I ordered the adidas sabalo, in 9.5, thinking it might fit more like the 3st.001 because they're both cupsole. Same problem, super tight across the middle and my heel slips out.

So fuck you adidas, come get your three shitty ill fitting shoes. I want my money back.

[Vintagebody]

They are on sale, 60% off. Kinda tempted to try them out, but as a guy who gets ollie holes fast, its seems kinda like no bueno

[videostore]

Crazy that you can wear through .004s in a session. I've got like 30 hours in mine and not got any holes in the suede. I got them from Orchard and the dude recommended that I super glue the stitching around the ollie area which worked out great. Don't sleep on them for 60% off!
