Adidas Skateboarding reveals the highly anticipated Matchcourt Slip x Na-kel Smith, the Pro team rider’s latest release with the brand.

Preserving the popular silhouette’s court heritage, the Matchcourt Slip x Na-kel Smith is enhanced with features for skate performance. Designed alongside Smith, his Matchcourt Slip is constructed of a full suede upper and prominently features embroidered roses in a vibrant red. Featuring a slip-on design with a nylon heel pull, the classic shoe maintains a rubber toe cap for increased durability and a grippy vulcanised outsole that emphasises grip and board feel.

Na-kel Smith on his third signature colorway for Adidas Skateboarding, “A hello to darker tones, and maybe more of a ‘see you later’ to the roses, three roses represent ‘The Brand with The Three Stripes’. The roses also represent where I am at putting out shoes with Adidas, a bit of a tally mark.” In regards to the understated signature detailing, “The reason I didn’t blast the ‘NAK’ embroidery across the roses is because I want to make shoes for everyone.”

The Matchcourt Slip x Na-kel Smith is available at speciality Adidas retailers in the U.S. and the Midas Skateboarding website starting July 1.
