The Whitaker Group is a dominant force in the American South’s sneaker boutique market, with an octopus-like reach of retail stores with different specializations covering every corner of the sneaker and streetwear world. At APB, The Whitaker Group focuses on the thing that kick-started it all: skateboarding. And with the annual summer Go Skate Day holiday coming up this week, APB and adidas are turning a classic lifestyle silhouette into a puffed-up skate shoe.

A Collab Crafted for Skateboarding’s Summer Holiday

The APB x adidas Powerphase Puff Do Not Duplicate Go Skate Day Pack skips the adidas Skateboarding department to bring some shredding energy to the adidas Originals catalog. Taking inspiration from years of skate shoes with puffy padding on the ankle and tongue, plus soft suede on the upper, the three Powerphase Puff collabs could easily be slotted into The Three Stripes’ skate line.

Beyond the suede toe and heel, mesh is added on the side panels and extra-large tongue for a perfect mix of breathability and cushion. Go Skate Day falls on June 21 every year, so expect to see plenty of these pairs at skate parks around APB locations this weekend.
