Adio Skate Shoes has a new “Deal of the Week” website, click here to check it out. Right now you can buy a pair of Sumner V.3 for $24.99 .

Here’s the good news… Guess what? You can actually get these cheaper by buying them from Shoes.com
and then price matching them to Adio’s new deal of the week website!  Do it, you will thank us later.

All we can say is, WOW!

I first caught wind of this “comeback announcement” press release announcing the signing of three new pro’s Brian Sumner, Chad Knight and Tom Knox to their pro-team.  After reading the exciting news I thought probably the same old mediocre shoes would be there.  Well much to my surprise they have some pretty sweet looking skate shoes going on.

Like these for instance:

The “N-Paisley” looks to be a pretty sick looking unique shoe  in what seems to be an endless stream of copy-cat’s these days.  Now, I’m not declaring Nice Footwear to be the next Supra or Fallen but, they are making steps in the right direction.  For that I applaud them and hope they make some more quality shoes.  Other information in the press release reassures their dedication to the sport and shoe quality.  Which is also respectable.  With that, make your own judgment and peep this other sick pair of Nice Shoes…

Rad!

Bonus: Check out this kind article about giving skateboards to underprivileged kids.

Rock on!

“Early the next morning our day started in the STI Lab—an impressive research center where everything from impact pressure to shoelace durability is tested on a number of machines, not to mention the mini ramp and eight-stair rail they have set up. The amount of effort in their R&D was impressive to say the least. A lot of pros that ride for other companies hit them up for their G2 insoles! After lunch we got short presentations from the brand managers and head designers of etnies, Emerica, and eS. We got to peep Mikey Taylor’s and Andrew Reynolds’ new shoes while we sipped on some brews—not a bad business meeting. After that, the etnies skatepark was ours to shred padless. We also got treated to a little shopping spree in the company store. Those new Herman 2’s are killing it.”

Who knew that an impact pressure shoelace durability test even existed?  And, not to mention the “Shopping Spree” I mean does Transworld editors honestly need any more shoes?  Well enough with our jealousy - go ahead and read what they had to say about the fun filled day.

Who would’ve thought you could use a human like that?
