adidas Skateboarding collaborates with Welcome Skateboards to create a limited-edition Matchcourt shoe and bespoke jersey. Notorious for its artistic aesthetic, The adidas Skateboarding x Welcome Skateboard collection fuses the California-based brand’s unique art heritage with the performance innovation and classic detailing of adidas’ design philosophy. This latest collection is the second collaborative release from both brands – the first debuting in 2015.

“I am a proponent of the evolution of both my personal life and my company, however, there are a few things in my life that are constants. Along with skateboarding and art, one of those constants has been adidas. Probably ever since the mid ’80s I have worn adidas as my skate shoes and my date shoes.” – Jason Celaya, founder of Welcome Skateboards

The adidas Skateboarding x Welcome collaboration includes an enhanced Matchcourt Mid silhouette that features a seafoam blue, premium suede upper, tonal slate rubber toe and a semi-translucent gum outsole. Custom art along the shoe’s molded sockliner captures the renowned art heritage of the Welcome Skateboard brand. The limited-edition jersey features the Welcome Skateboards trademark owl and familiar quirky design notes.

The adidas Skateboarding x Welcome Skateboards capsule collection is available at specialty retailers in the U.S. and the adidas Skateboarding website starting May 1.
