While many modern skate shoes are focused on bringing the most cutting-edge technology to the board, the latest adidas Shmoofoil Slip shoe does the opposite.

This stripped-back slip-on sneaker, cooked up by legendary skateboarder Mark Gonzales, is as pared-back as they come. It doesn’t even need laces. 

The skate shoe is a simple combination of suede uppers, burgundy piping, and a hard-wearing vulcanized rubber sole unit. You won’t find any techy running shoe technology here, just the skatewear essentials done right. 

The shoe channels a similar laceless spirit to the iconic Vans Slip-On, a fellow streamlined design made shred straight out of the box.
