Introducing the adidas ADI2000
The adidas ADI2000 is a retro-inspired silhouette that channels the bold spirit of early-2000s skate culture while updating it with modern materials and design.
Released in 2021, it takes clear cues from Y2K skate shoes, featuring padded tongues and heels, a wide toebox, and chunky midsoles that embrace the era’s signature bulky aesthetic. Its upper combines mesh, leather, suede, and nubuck, striking a balance between breathability, durability, and rich texture.
Retro adidas Originals branding adds to its appeal, with inverted or oversized stripes, classic logos, off-white and gum soles, and colorways ranging from understated to vibrant.
While the ADI2000 leans into lifestyle and streetwear, it still incorporates authentic skatewear elements (like extra padding and sturdy overlays) that deliver both comfort and substance.
