adidas Skateboarding introduced the new Campus ADV sneaker, which boasts classic design elements with upgrades that are specifically made for skate performance. The footwear model retains its original look but boasts elevated new details, including its padded collar and Bounce midsole with flexible elements that enable soft cushioning perfect for absorbing impact when skateboarding. There are added elements such as double-layered suede construction that have cold-pressed eye-stays and high-abrasion areas.
The Geoflex herringbone sole gives the model a high amount of grip, along with a sockliner with molded EVA and branding details across the sides. The Campus ADV sneaker is showcased by skateboarder and businessman Blondey McCoy and the colorway is done in the label's Collegiate Burgundy tone.
