Full breakdown

It features a leather upper with a low-profile silhouette inspired by European court shoes, a herringbone-pattern rubber outsole, and a Futurecraft 4D-derived cushioning insert.

Questions answered
FAQ
Is the Adidas Puig good for skating?
Excellent. The herringbone outsole provides reliable grip on the board, the leather upper is durable for flick tricks, and the cushioning handles impact well. Performance reviewers consistently rate it among the top Adidas skate shoes.
How does the Puig compare to the Adidas Samba for skating?
The Puig is designed specifically for skateboarding with a proper skate outsole and impact protection. The Samba is a lifestyle shoe that people sometimes skate in. For actual skating, the Puig is significantly better. For casual wear, the Samba has more cultural cachet.
Can you wear the Puig as a lifestyle shoe?
Yes, the clean leather design and European proportions make it one of the more versatile pro-model skate shoes for non-skate outfits. It doesn't look overtly like a skate shoe, which is part of its appeal.
How does the Puig fit?
True to size but the European-inspired last runs slightly narrow. Skaters who prefer a roomier toe box might want to go half up. The leather breaks in and accommodates the foot after a few sessions.
