About

A forgotten adidas from the skate scene

The Adidas Aloha Super is a low, slim retro sneaker from the brand’s broad terrace and skate heritage. The silhouette is low and close to the ground, with a leather-and-suede upper, the 3-Stripes on the side and a gum sole underneath. It belongs to the same family as the Samba and the Jeans: simple, timeless models defined by their shape and history.

Leather, suede and three stripes

The construction is classic adidas heritage. Smooth leather and soft suede alternate across the upper, with the three stripes in contrast and the Trefoil as the brand mark. Under the foot sits a gum sole with “adidas” in the tread, often slightly translucent. There is no modern cushioning underneath; the appeal lies in the retro simplicity.

Taken from the archive

The Aloha Super comes from the adidas archive, from the time when the brand made low, casual sports shoes that were as at home on the street as on a skateboard. Reissues bring that silhouette back for those looking for the less obvious adidas classics, beyond the best-known names. It’s a connoisseur’s shoe within the terrace scene.

Alongside the better-known terrace models

Where the Samba and the Jeans are the most familiar faces of this family, the Aloha Super is a subtler variant with its own name and last. The same world of slim, gum-soled sneakers with three stripes, each with a slightly different shape and origin.

What varies by version

The low shape, the leather-and-suede upper and the gum sole remain the same across versions. What changes is the distribution of materials and the finish of the stripes. Place two versions side by side and the shoe is the same; only the outer materials change.
