bought those Buz pros on the adidas outlet for dirt cheap to skate in but then 2 days later got invited for the Samba Adv weartest in Stuttgard so I got a pair for free. I'll keep wearing the Sambas, they felt really good yesterday skating.

-Adidas Busenitz/Samba ADV-


Nice! Aren't you interning with adidas now?

[close]

May I ask what you do for your internship and how you managed to score it? Sounds so dope man.

[close]

It is dope! Ahah I knew a dude on instagram that drew skate shoes too and he got a job in adidas, later I knew Rob Carlos that is the skateboarding designer for adidas throught instagram too. They both really liked my stuff and then they got my name out there and I got invited to join the adidas originals team. It happened almost by surprise and I dropped out of university to be in here. I hope I stay because this has been sick af. Maybe someday I can join the skateboarding range or something, that would be dope too.

Nice! We need a SLAP insider in Adidas so we can get the Ronan and the Lucas Puig 1 back.

Dude you dropped out of school and moved to Germany?? Respect for that, that's some real chasing your dream kind of thing. Sick to hear that you're loving it so far too!

[Hercules Rockefeller]

theres a rather famous guy that also dropped out of school and went to germany.. so... conquer them, i guess!

[Turtle Boy]

Congrats SKATAN. Hope it's no too hard to get used to germany after living in portugal.
I'm sure you'll learn a lot; and whatever happens next it will be an incredible experience for the rest of your career. I think, it's even more interesting not to work with skateboarding shoes at first because you get to focus on things that are less obvious than in skateboarding. Like cost, materials, production requirements, fit etc...

[shit_for_brains]

My plan only ever got as far as dropping out of school

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

I dropped out of art school so I would be starving after it anyway. Its not like I dropped a bag of gold for a dream, I'm actually closer to the bag of gold. Even my teachers were hyped for me. Ahah So yeah, not that much of an unthinkable thing to do.

Turtle, yeah, here in Originals is much more style/look oriented and not performance oriented so yeah, it's pretty different from drawing skate shoes were you think a lot about durability and all those details... It's been a challenge but I'm loving it.

The other day I went through the whole "Designing your own shoe" thread and was stoked on most of your designs, and I?m glad to see that the 2 years progression has ended up in something real, also adidas might be a sick place to work at. So, yes, congrats and keep drawing!  

[MOE SYZLAK]

State Mercer, Kinda reminds me of Hsu's first emerica shoe but feels way better.

[coneklr]

Nice MOE!  I just bought those and I thought the same exact thing!  I'm psyched because I loved Hsu's first shoe but was less into the second and these definitely make me feel all the nostalgia

Yes, Thanks! same here loved that shoe, Have loved all the States i have had so far so i'm sure these will skate amazingly.

[iwishilivedinfinla]

[ungzilla]

Are those fuckers TTS? I've been pondering getting some States, they look good.

Good to hear! I just ordered these yesterday. Very nice looking shoe! I can't wait to see the cupsole state said they will be releasing.

These shoes are designed by Dustin deardorff, the guy who designed shoes for Kastel, the. Went on and did all the  circa shoes for the first few years it was around.

[Firebert]

got these on sale
worth it if you can find em around $80

[shit_for_brains]

Clearance outlets were flooded with Koston 3s a few weeks ago. I got a few pair for $60 each.

I'd buy em at that price.

I haven't popped my Nike cherry yet, other than tryin on my son's shoes.

Isn't night back to pushing the k1? I thought I seen some of that yesterday but I was high as fuck so I could be totally wrong

[20matar]

Dylans, sans laces because I want them to break them up a tiny little bit before lacing and they're fine slip-ons. I really really thought about not putting them to the griptape ever, but they fit me so snug and so comfortable... almost as if they were made for me. But I'll wait until they're absolutely beat.

Same.  Down to support the little guys and people here seem to like their shoes so I'll give them a shot.  Plus, they're having MC work on their video and I like people that support people I like.
