Questions answered
FAQ
Is the Adidas Aloha Super good for skating?
Yes, the slim vulcanized sole provides excellent board feel, and the suede upper holds up well against grip tape. It excels at technical street skating where feeling the board matters. However, the minimal cushioning means it offers little impact protection for big drops or stair sets.
Who is the Aloha Super associated with?
The shoe is closely linked to Mark Gonzales, one of the most influential skateboarders in history. While not explicitly his signature model, the Aloha Super's design reflects his preference for slim, clean skate shoes that work equally well on and off the board.
Is the Aloha Super comfortable for daily wear?
For casual short-term wear, the slim suede construction is comfortable and stylish. For extended walking or standing, the minimal cushioning will cause fatigue. It is a style-first shoe that works best when you are not on your feet for hours.
How does the Aloha Super compare to the Adidas Busenitz?
The Busenitz has significantly more cushioning with its cupsole construction and Adiprene insert. The Aloha Super is slimmer, lighter, and provides more board feel. Choose the Busenitz for impact protection; choose the Aloha Super for board feel and a cleaner silhouette.
