Adidas Skateboarding writes history with the Nora Vasconcellos Pro skate shoe. The Nora is the first Pro model from a female athlete at Adidas.

Inspired by vintage Adidas tennis shoes, the shoe was adapted to Nora's needs for skateboarding. Built on a vulcanized sole, the shoe offers the comfort of a cupsole. The raised toe cap, paired with the ollie pad made of sturdy suede in the front area, offers the shoe a lot of resistance against the grip tape and promises a long life. The synthetic material on the sides makes the shoe breathable. For the Nora at least 50% recycled materials are used on 25% of the shoe.

We tested the Nora and to make it short: We are thrilled! Despite its Vulc construction, the shoe offers enormous stability and is not too soft. Thanks to the Adiprene insole, it is also very well cushioned. The Nora shoe scores particularly well with us when it comes to durability.

Marco has been riding the model for over 2 weeks and it has replaced his previous favorite Adidas shoes, the Matchbreak Super and the Busenitz Vulc.
