adidas Skateboarding celebrates Kader Sylla joining the team to launch his first signature Superstar ADV colourway.

“I’m so excited and thankful to join the adidas Skateboarding team,” says the 19-year-old skateboard prodigy. “It’s surreal to have the opportunity to travel the world with all of my friends and skate alongside people I look up to. It inspires me to be the best skateboarder I can be.

“Having my name on an adidas shoe is crazy and something I’ll still be proud of 50 years from now. I hope people are happy wearing my shoes, and I hope kids are inspired to know what is possible through skateboarding.”

A product of true co-creation and rider-led collaboration, the Superstar ADV by Kader Sylla receives a monotone triple black colour scheme and gold accents alongside adidas’ quintessential three stripes and an insole featuring Sylla’s signature.

The footwear’s upper features premium tumbled leather, pony hair stripes and a heel moustache. The classic heritage Superstar – Sylla’s favourite silhouette – was re-engineered with ADV innovation designed for skateboarding that provides improved fit and board-feel and added comfort and durability.

The Superstar ADV by Kader Sylla will be available in select skate shops on April 1.
