We’ve seen them for a few weeks now, but Adidas Skateboarding finally their brand new 3ST collection of sneakers.

The new 3ST sneaker collection are a set of brand new Adidas Skateboarding sneakers that serve as the first line created by the label’s new “open source workshop design approach.” 3ST is the “brainchild of top designers and athletes coming together to disrupt and re-define skate shoes, and create the future of adidas Skateboarding”.

The 3ST collection consists of the 3ST.001 and 3ST.002, two forward-thinking, vulcanized silhouettes that seamlessly blend style and function. Alongside skateboarder input, the design process was also driven by enhanced aesthetics, premium materials, and new design lines. The 3STs utilize the special TORSION support system for maximal stability and flexibility, breathable, suede-reinforced knit sock uppers, adiTuff technology to guard against severe damage and promote extended durability, and a Geoflex and vulc outsole for optimal board support. adidas designers worked closely with Na-kel Smith and other professional skateboarders on the development of both models.

The 3ST.001 features a breathable knit sock upper reinforced by both suede and complemented by adiTuff technology at the forefoot—strategically placed to protect critical, high abrasion areas where needed to prolong the life of the shoe. Elevated, inset laces ensure minimal breakage, while a semi-translucent outsole showcases the dual-density TORSION® inside.

Fashioned in a minimalist build, Smith provides his creative input to assist in re-imagining the slip-on with the sleek 3ST.002, a mid-top silhouette, innovative in design and function. The unexpected silhouette features a one-piece perforated suede upper, lined with breathable mesh on the interior, and equipped with a TPU cage for lateral stability. The all-new vulc outsole provides optimal board support and rounds out the performance features for the 3ST.002.

Get a good look at the adidas Skateboarding 3ST collection above and look for both pairs to release at select retailers beginning on April 5th. The 3ST.001 will retail for $95, while the 3ST.002 will retail for $100.
