Overview

The Samba ADV pays respects to Adidas' deep soccer heritage with a classic T-Toe reminiscent of the original style that debuted more than 50 years ago. A molded sockliner ensures a glove-like fit by comfortably wrapping your foot to improve response. An internal heel clip locks down the back of your foot to prevent slip. The lightweight cupsole has a directional herringbone tread pattern for lasting grip and board control. Soccer may be in the Samba's blood, but these shoes are all skate from heel to toe.

Features

Sole

Cupsole - Durable and shock-absorbing to provide the best impact protection against hard landings. Cupsoles generally last longer than a vulcanized sole but don't provide as much flexibility and board feel right out of the box.

Details

Molded PU Sockliner - Soft polyurethane insole for added comfort and protection.

Herringbone Tread - Creates amazing grip and board control.

Lightweight Rubber Cupsole - Lightweight rubber cupsole provides terrific board feel and protection for when you're skating those big stairsets. Cupsole construction and deep tread pattern gives the shoe long-life durability.

Molded TPU Heel Clip - For heel lockdown and increased support.

Adidas Samba ADV Skate Shoes - core black/footwear white/gum5

I found these to fit really comfortably with great support around the ankle and heel. The cup sole is thin but responsive to impact. The vamp and toe box had an excellent shape, the tongue is lightly padded while staying in place.

I’m way too old to use the word lit and I’m probably using the word incorrectly but these shoes are lit!

Asked by Grant on 1/5/2017

How long do you guys get out of the shoe before it's unskateable? It seems like the T isn't very durable

Answered by Danny M (Tactics Employee) on 1/5/2017

These shoes have had different results for us. For me personally they have lasted me over a month, but I don't do a whole lot of flip tricks. For my coworker they blew out in about 2 weeks because he is a lot more technical with his skating. We did a shoe review for these shoes on our youtube channel that was just posted a few days ago, check it out if you get a chance!

Asked by Max on 1/3/2017

How's the board feel on these? I mainly skate technical stuff like half pipes but I still want enough support to jump down things every once in a while.

Answered by Danny M (Tactics Employee) on 1/3/2017

These shoes are great for hoping down stuff, plenty of support. As for the board feel, they definitely take a little breaking in. Thinner and better board feel towards the toe but a thicker heel for sure. After skating these for about 2 full days the shoes were broken in and the board feel was way better.
