adidas Originals 'Athlete Designed' Skate Copa Collection

Crashing concrete courts with football pitches, adidas Originals have dropped back in with more pieces from 'Skate Copa' places. Designed with their sponsored skaters in mind, it brings two creative worlds together with the shirts each designed through the adidas 'Creator Farm' in Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn 'Creator Farm' is a place of expression for adidas. It gives the brand an opportunity to experiment while they continue to define their own trends in and out of football. With a similar headspace, the Skate Copa collection continues to champion raw energy. In the simplest sense, these football inspired skate jerseys are on another level.

The collection has been given the 'Athlete Designed' label, as chief creator at adidas, Mark Gonzales, collaborated with skaters on the books of the brand such as Na-kel Smith, Tyshawn Jones, Marc Johnson, Blondey McCoy, Miles Silvas, Rodrigo Teixeira and Daewon Song to create a collection that features eight different shirts.

Jerseys which have taken influence from old-school adidas archive football shirts, they are entirely unique. Keeping true to production values, each of the shirts are built using the latest adidas technology. Climalite and good to go, they'll have you kick flipping all the way to an empty wallet. Can we have 'em all, twice?

The adidas Skate Copa Collection will be available at specialty adidas retailers worldwide and on the adidas Skateboarding website starting May 3, 2018.
