adidas Men's Suciu Adv Skateboarding Shoes

Product Information

Retailers are shifting to recycled materials for products, exploring vegan products and using less water, energy and chemicals in the process. In 2019, adidas produced more than 11 million pairs of shoes using recycled plastic waste from beaches and coastal regions, compared to 5 million in 2018 and 1 million in 2017. I definitely try not to think about it too much because it stresses me out,” Suciu admits. People knew his name in the SOTY conversation because he had been a contender in 2019, the year Milton Martinez ultimately won. (Though anyone who had been paying attention knew Suciu really entered the conversation in 2012, at 19 years old, with his Thrasher “Cross Continental” part, which remains one of their most viral skate segments to date.) Adidas skateboarder Mark Suciu was named Thrasher's 2021 Skater of the Year (SOTY) thanks largely to ... [+] the five video parts he put out in 2021, including a mini documentary “Spread Light, Leave No Trace” with Paradigm founder Theo Constantinou Zander Takemoto Recent models such as the adidas Tyshawn, and the even newer Tyshawn Low provide a simple design with high functionality which creates a high performing and durable skate shoe. Heitor Da Silva's signature adidas Forum 84 Low reignited the flame for an 80's adidas classic with some dope hip-hop inspired colourways coming to the fore. SS23 has also seen the release of a adidas Kader Pro Model, the second shoe partnering with prolific pro Kader Sylla. For me, I try to do what I can to equalize that in the areas that I can. It’s a custom for a sponsor to just send you T-shirts all the time, so I just realized I don’t need all this stuff. I have spoken to my sponsors about only sending me what I ask for. I skate my boards as long as possible and look out for ways I can be a voice of change, like this with Paradigm and adidas. Habitat is very open to things like this too because of their eco-friendly attitude.

Suciu thinks a good video part conveys “a strong sense of skill, talent, versatility, and identity.” There’s no question each of his parts from 2021 met his own rubric; SOTY voters clearly thought so, too. Suciu and Albert, who both hail from the Bay Area, have been filming together for adidas since 2013. When Thrasher offered Albert the opportunity to do the web series that would become “Flora” in 2019, Suciu was excited for his close friend, even as he was living across the country in New York.Once your return is processed, please allow up to 5 (five) working days for the money to appear in your bank account ( this is the bank's policy, not ours)

Focusing on the iconic Gazelle for his latest signature release in partnership with adidas, team rider Mark Suciu follows up on his 2015 adidas Skateboarding Suciu ADV with a collegiate coloured adidas Suciu Gazelle ADV for FW21. Vintage detailing pays creative tribute to the profile’s lengthy lineage, with traditional gold foil commemorative detailing styled in line with other adidas shoes including the similarly styled adidas Matchbreak Super and Samba ADV. His first episode was so dialed, so crisp, clean and professional, that I always knew I wanted to contribute a little bit whenever I could,” Suciu said. “It just made me feel like, ‘Wow, this is something I would want to be a part of even if I didn’t know this guy.’” From 1978 to 1980 they produced the first ever skateboard specific shoe called the Skate and their shoes designed for tennis, basketball and volleyball have all proven to be popular with skateboarders. adidas Skateboarding have produced a range of high quality skateboard videos over the years, with an early focus on international riders as opposed to the often Californian-centric spotlight adopted by a lot of brands, with videos such as Korean Dance and Diagonal. Adidas skateboarder Mark Suciu was named Thrasher's 2021 Skater of the Year (SOTY) thanks largely to ...

Constructed with a quilted tongue and Adiprene+ insole, a breathable mesh lining and Adituff for incredible abrasion resistance. In 2021, Suciu also worked with sponsor adidas and longtime friend Theo Constantinou, founder of the New York City-based book publisher Paradigm, on a digital short called Spread Light, Leave No Trace. The mini documentary explores the concept of sustainability through the lens of skateboarding, art, culture and community, as well as Constantinou and Suciu’s shared affinity for literature. When they saw me putting out all this footage that was my best stuff, people could tell that I was on my A game,” Suciu said. “They just got excited, the debate from 2019 got reignited, and I already had momentum so people just had fun with it again.”

When the opportunity arose to collaborate with adidas, Constantinou realized, “If we’re gonna do this with adidas, such a huge manufacturer of soft goods, we have to make it sustainable for us to be able to stand behind this,” Suciu recalled.We have some ideas about ways that we can put on demos and call attention to climate change and waste and material production. It’s a big conversation,” Suciu added. This productive team of professional and amateur skaters has produced some of the best skateboarding videos in the industry including Away Days, Calima, Law of the Seas, Reverb and many more. These videos have been hosted by a multitude of media outlets from Thrasher to Grey Skate Mag and Free Skate Mag to Jenkem. So, if you bought a gift and effed up the sizing or seriously misjudged your S.O's taste ... don't panic, we've got you covered. As a pro skater it’s pretty alarming how much we go through, how many commodities we go through and how much waste we produce to keep skating at this steady high level,” he said. Suciu has long been interested in issues of sustainability and the environment—a good fit with his eco-friendly board sponsor, Habitat—as well as literature; he studied the subject, along with creative writing, at Temple University, then moved to New York to attend The New School.
