adidas San Francisco Demo Photos
8/18/2016
Yesterday the adidas dudes came through SF for a streetstyle demo at the Waller ledges. One of the cool things about the event was that they gave all the local shops (FTC, PLA, DLX, Atlas and 510) a budget to make their own unique obstacles. The afternoon was full of good vibes, high winds, scattered clouds and countless tricks by the adidas team and locals alike. Thanks to everyone who came out. —Dan Z
I got there two hours before the demo and rippers were already getting it
Looks interesting!
Cairo’s an industry man now so in the streets he’s just one of the crowd
T-minus one hour before demo time
Things were coming together

Nice touch, 510!
Filling in nicely
A family affair

Deawon’s in the house
What’s good, Miles?
This was right after Daewon ate shit trying to ollie onto the teetering ledge
Foster and Field, tight bros from way back
Cairo has some devoted fans
One more skate shop pulling up
What’s this, PLA boys?
Hmmmmm…
A bump to bar!
TJ came through with a stripped axle so I hooked him up. (This is his stoked face)
Social Media Slave, Lui Elliot
Shit started to go off
And I was just getting in the way
Even Shier got in on it
Busenitz (was out with a nasty heel bruise)
Silas appreciates the tranny-ledge vibes
Everybody was welcome to join
Is this what Jake Donnelly thinks about demos?
Where’s Daewon?
He’s in the corner playing SKATE with the kids
New adidas photog?
Lookin’ good (jk)
Legends
Tyshawn, hurricane hammers
I’m not sure if the pigs were watching or waiting
Jafin representing 510
And for the finale, everyone lined up for a best trick on the bump to bar.
Transfer tailslide?
Backside 180 over the whole kit
“I don’t know who this dude is,” but the coupon is worth a free pair of shoes if you happened to be so lucky as to get one
They had a box of soccer balls! Best product toss I’ve seen
Classic
Everyone had a blast. Thanks, adidas!
