Adio has gone from a small start-up that was formed by Chris Miller and a handful of other pro skaters to becoming a brand that has notoriety across many pop cultural platforms. Now in its 15th year of existence, it has achieved such a reputation with an everlasting commitment to quality by maintaining its legitimacy amongst skaters, both professional and amateur, yet creating a stylistic vibe with more widespread appeal. This accessibility, combined with an ever-lasting commitment to quality, has made Adio continuously stand out as the most authentic of all boarding footwear.

The Captain- The Captain is Adio's classic style skate shoe that is also a fantastic option for casual wear. Though its aesthetic is minimalist, it features maximum impact protection, with a cushioned insole and foam-padded tongue for extra comfort.

The Slouch- Don't believe the self-deprecating name, as this kick is not for the layabouts. From the brand's Noir collection, the Slouch's performance design features vulcanized sole construction and supportive polyurethane cushioning for hard landings. The Slouch is simple, stylish, and effective.
