[Update 6 Feb 2024] As we approach the release of the Kader Sylla x adidas Samba ADV, additional detailed images of the pair have now surfaced. Check them out via the gallery above and stay tuned for the official drop.

Kader Sylla might be new to some, but the 16-year-old skateboarder’s talent echoes louder than his age. Sylla has carved his path not just with tricks, but with a string of collabs with adidas. His latest masterpiece being this revamped Samba ADV, tailor-made for shredding streets and skateparks.

Sturdy suede guards the toe and iconic stripes, bolstered by Adituff for extra bite against board abuse. A comfy molded sockliner hugs your foot, while the cupped sole keeps you glued to your deck. Tongue wings hold things snug, with gold accents materializing as branding elements.

Luxurious brown suede takes center stage on the toe, stripes, and heel, oozing both elegance and toughness. Black tumbled leather forms the base, creating a striking contrast, while gold accents on the midfoot and tongue—including his name and the adidas Trefoil—shout signature style. Finally, a grippy gum rubber sole rounds out the package.

The Kader Sylla x adidas Samba ADV is scheduled for release on 10 February although a price point hasn’t been disclosed. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks!
