Adidas Skateboarding kicked off the first night of its 10-day, Das Days activation with an interactive launch of its all-new 3ST footwear line. Hundreds gathered at the Das Days Community Center, located at the iconic Seventh Letter Gallery in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles, to create concept footwear prototypes and custom shoe designs provided by the brand’s mobile MakerLab workshop.

Day three of adidas Skateboarding’s 10-day, Das Days city takeover in Los Angeles heated up with a Block Party at Union Nightclub this past Saturday. The event opened with an open outdoor skate jam and best trick contest judged by team rider Diego Nájera. Alongside Diego, adidas Skateboarding athletes Nora Vasconcellos, Lucas Puig, Alec Majerus, Na-kel Smith, Marc Johnson, and Felipe Gustavo were also in attendance.
