SUPERVELOCE SC (1350€ / $1500)

A brand new chapter. The Superveloce SC (Sem Croft pro model) has been in the making for over 4 years. From drawing new ideas on a blank piece of paper to talking with Sem Croft on how to use the Superleggera technology to create an aggressive skate. Together with Jelle Briggeman, we created a completely new UFS mold with the perfect dimensions for the most high end aggressive skate ever created. Every aspect of the skate has been designed to create the fastest and most responsive UFS boot on the market. Taking a big step with manufacturing processes and embracing new technology. Not only for its soulplate, but also the one piece H-block slider. This is our lovepoem towards an industry we grew up in. And we hope to keep pushing the envelope with future products. From the bottom of our hearts, congratulations Sem.

Jon Fromm introduces his first ever pro skate with the introduction of the Signature Series Jon Fromm Brutale. Set up as he rides it thanks to a collabration of three brands, featuring his pro 50/50 Balance 2 frames, new 59mm pro Red Eye Wheels, all attached to his all new white Adapt Brutale skates.

Filmed over 4 months in late 2022, Jon set out to the streets to remind everyone why his name is emblazoned on the back of this skate. Head to Adaptbrand.com to pick up your pair today. - Adaptbrand.com.
