This July, the adidas Skateboarding team went on tour again, although it feels like these guys are on tour all the time, which is actually pretty sick! #3stripes3cities was the motto for this particular one with stops in Berlin, Hannover and Hamburg. Today we present the first part of three – Berlin, where the adidas Skate Copa Event kicked off the tour. Expect some excellent streetskating by Lem Villemin, Phil Anderson, Valeri Rosomako, Benny Fairfax, Patrick Zentgraf and Sandro Trovato:

Today we proudly announce the third out of three winners for the PLACE and adidas Skateboarding 3Stripes3Tricks Video Contest: Phillipp Oehmige! If you’ve been around Berlin lately, you probably have seen this kid killing it at any time. We think you can easily call him a skaterat, always on the run and throwing himself down the big stuff. Congratulations!

That’s it for the 3Stripes3Tricks video contest, thanks everybody for entering and submitting your clips. Watch out for the Big Final Edit which drops this month featuring the German adidas team and footage of all three winners: Josh Junkes, Giorgi Armani and finally Phillipp Oehmige. Stay tuned.

The brandnew PLACE issue 54 just arrrived at the office and will be available through skateshops, selected retailers and newsstands next week – some of the shops got the issue already, just ask!

For this issue we ask if all NBD’S have already been done and we’ll find an interesting answer coming along with some crazy photos by Roman Gonzalez aka @gonzox1000 – shot with iPhone only!

Kareem Campbell, Joey Bast, Drake Jones und Richard Angelides – bei diesen vier großen Namen kommt zwangsläufig Nostalgie auf. Wer schon geboren war, erinnert sich gerne zurück an die Neunziger, Skateboarding auf Schulhöfen und auch an den adidas Superstar, den diese Jungs schon damals gerne trugen. Nun wird ihnen im Rahmen der “Iconic Superstar” Kampagne die Ehre zuteil, ihren eigenen Colorway des Klassikers zu bekommen – eine schöne Geste der Marke mit den drei Streifen. Zusätzlich zu den Schuhen, wird es jeweils ein Photo T-Shirt geben, das Campbell, Bast, Jones und Angelides in Action zeigt. Hier die gesamte Kollektion im Überblick:

Mark Suciu, Nestor Judkins, Benni Fairfax, Lem Villemin, Jake Donelly, Miles Silvas, Tyshawn Jones, Na-Kel Smith und ein paar weitere adidas Teamfahrer machen sich in diesem Edit ausschließlich über Bump to Bar Spots her. Der Grund ist #BoostTheBar – eine Contestserie, bei der der jeweils beste Trick an einem eigens designten Bump to Bar Spot mit Cash und Sachpreisen belohnt wird. Alle Infos gibt’s im Clip:

Die limitierte Edition des adidas Skateboarding ADV Boost ist seit kurzem bei ausgewählten Händlern erhältlich. Wir haben uns buchstäblich auf die Socken gemacht, um den Schuh zwei Tage auf den rauen Straßen Berlins zu testen.

Ein paar Informationen zum neuen Schuh der Marke mit den drei Streifen: Der ADV Boost ist der erste Skateschuh, der mit BOOST Technologie ausgestattet ist, welche für ultimativen Dämpfung sorgen soll. Ausserdem bietet ein spezielles Mesh, bestehend aus Techfit Bootie und SPRINTSKIN höchste Atmungsaktivität und Stabilität. Jemand, der solchen Komfort zu schätzen wissen müsste, ist adidas Teamfahrer Vladik Scholz – er ist ein wahrer Experte, wenn es um das Bezwingen großer Gaps oder wahlweise langer Stufensets geht.

Momentan filmt Vladik seine letzten Tricks für seinen Titus Part, der Anfang April erscheinen wird. Am Montag geht es dann für ihn gemeinsam mit Patrik Wallner nach Indien und von dort aus direkt weiter nach Equador. Vladik ist eben viel unterwegs und wir freuen uns umso mehr, dass er sich diese zwei Tage Zeit genommen hat, um den Hightech Schuh für uns zu testen:

“Beim Auspacken war ich zuerst überrascht, denn so kennt man Skateschuhe eigentlich nicht – anstatt einer Zunge findet man einen kompletten Innenschuh. Der ADV Boost ist relativ schmal und gibt dem Fuß viel Stabilität: Ein guter Luxus-Skateschuh.” – Vladik

Yeah, people don’t get us, they hate us sometimes cause some skateboarders still not uniform. Is that what skateboarding is about. Be free, do what you feel like. Being a street rat. If you’re a skateboarder, you can’t be afraid to have people hate on you.

In diesem Jahr rückt adidas den Klassiker Superstar wieder stärker in den Fokus – klar, dass auch der langjährige Teamfahrer und Künstler Mark Gonzales da Hand anlegen durfte. Wir zeigen euch den Superstar 80s by Gonz, der komplett in Weiss gehalten ist: Ein Schuh als Leinwand – jede Spur zählt. Schöne Details sind das Heeltap, die geprägte Gonz Signatur auf der Zunge und an den Seiten des Schuhs. Hier seht ihr das passende Video zum Release:

Die Jungs von TPDG Supplies zeigen ihr Team für das neue Jahr und stellen zugleich drei neue Teamfahrer vor. Der ein oder andere mag es vielleicht schon gewusst haben, nun ist es offiziell: Julian Ruhe, Daniel Pannemann und Patrick Zentgraf vergrößern das Team mit der besten Hose der Welt. Wenn man den Gerüchten glauben schenken mag, arbeiten die Jungs seit längerem an einem Full Length Video. Wann das Video erscheinen soll, steht noch in den Sternen, wir halten euch natürlich auf dem Laufenden.
