adidas Skateboarding Presents /// Vitória and Friends

Vitória Mendonça and friends skating around the globe for her Superstar ADV Colorway.

For her debut colorway, Vitória drew inspiration from the textures of street skating. Featuring cracked leather, evoking the rugged surfaces of city streets, while reflective stripes and logos pay homage to city lights at night. These reflective details extend to the mesh tongue, while a handwritten Portuguese poem by Vitória graces the sockliner for a personal touch.

“Quero ver os meus no mesmo lugar, quero poder existir sem ter que lutar, viver o que sou sem medo do que os outros irão pensar. Quero que sonhar não seja um privilégio, quero que o amor seja a lei do universo.“ - Vitória Mendonça

“I want to see my people in the same place, I want to be able to exist without having to fight, to live who I am without fear of what others will think. I want dreaming not to be a privilege, I want love to be the law of the universe.” - Vitória Mendonça
