adidas Men's Suciu Adv Skateboarding Shoes

Product Information

The result was one of the most buzzed-about video parts of the year, but it was just part of Suciu’s impressive output in 2021. 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. 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.

The Adidas Suciu ADV II keeps all the best parts of the original and updates the rest for better skating use. Built in a suede layered over a mesh lining, the shoes have a slimmer shape for a much better fit, a seamless toe construction for heightened durability and a quilted tongue and Adiprene+ insole to swaddle your foot in comfort. There’s no question winning SOTY is something Suciu has deeply wanted and worked for, but when it comes to contextualizing the win, he is at something of a loss for words—which anyone who has read or listened to Suciu’s interviews knows isn’t common. 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. 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) The Adidas Suciu ADV II Skate Shoes in Solid Grey/White/Gum has been tried, tested and approved by pro skater Mark Suciu, so you know they are going to be good… A slimmer more updated version of his first signature shoe. Constructed with a quilted tongue and Adiprene+ insole, a breathable mesh lining and Adituff for incredible abrasion resistance.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.

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. 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. 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.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. 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, as well as a mini documentary “Spread Light, Leave No Trace” with Paradigm founder Theo Constantinou in an adidas collaboration Zander Takemoto

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.” 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. The 29-year-old also put out his “Blue Dog” adidas part (also with Albert), “Curve” Habitat part; “Spitfire” part and his “Ground Glass” part with 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. 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 has been making footwear and clothing for a variety of sports since 1924. Founded by Adolf "Ali" Dassler and later joined by his brother Rudolf Dassler, adidas have been a leading footwear and athletic apparel brand for almost a century. The company has focused on the latest technological advancements since its inception and has infused this ethos into it's skateboarding programme. 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.’”
