While the look of skateboarders worldwide continuously returns to its purist origins, adidas felt that their back catalogue fitted perfectly to start a skateboarding sub-brand. Based on original Trefoil designs, adidas Skateboarding kicks also feature advanced technology such as PU Sockliner for added impact protection plus GeoFit collar lining (soft foam panels stitched into collar lining) for added ankle stability to give skaters the comfort they need for riding their boards. They also employ Dennis Busenitz' services as a flagship rider of the adidas team which als turned out to be a good move, because Busenitz is known as one of Germany's most gifted skateboarding talents.
