Weartested: adidas Lucas Premiere ADV

cleanlucas2

简介:

Lucas Puig在Lakai的很多视频片段中作为法国代表也算是真正走上了国际,尤其是2007年在Lakai 的 Fully Flared中那个人部分片段至今依旧令人难忘(frontside smith to kickflip primo)。自从那以后,他对动作、风格甚至是公司的挑选也变得越来越成熟。在2010年离开Lakai之后,他选择加入了adidas skateboarding,同时他也开始与自己的老朋友Stephen Khou一起着手创办自己的帽子公司-Helas。从此事情便一发不可收拾,而他的滑板生涯中也有了更多的东西,像Cliché的Bon Voyage片段,上海摄影师Tommy Zhao的Something Sinister中也有他的片段,最新的就是adidas skateboarding Away Days影片中他的开场片段。无论何时Lucas的职业道德都是很有感染力的,所以也难怪adidas已经给他出了两双签名款了,包括我们已经在2012年做过相关测评的那双非常漂亮的adidas Lucas Pro。这一次,adidas不仅仅是让我们有机会测试到这双鞋,更是让我们举办了一次Weartested活动,我们邀请到了15位上海的当地滑手在Lucas Puig当年Something Sinister片段中滑过的三个地形来测试这双鞋子的一些科技元素。下面一起来看看我们对最新的Lucas Premiere ADV做的一些评测,最后呢也记得要看来自上海最给力地形的一些滑板狠片段。

Intro:

Lucas Puig really came onto the international scene as part of Lakai’s French Connection in many of their videos, with a memorable part (frontside smith to kickflip primo) dropping in Lakai’s Fully Flared video in 2007. Since then, he has only progressed further and further into maturing his selection of tricks, style, and also companies. After leaving Lakai in 2010, he was picked up by adidas skateboarding, and had also started his own cap company, Helas, with long-time friend Stephen Khou. Things spread like wildfire after that; added to his skate career was a part in Cliché’s Bon Voyage, a shared part in Shanghai Filmer Tommy Zhao’s Something Sinister Video, and most recently, the opening part in the new adidas skateboarding Away Days video. Lucas’ work ethic on and off the board is contagious, so it’s no wonder that adidas has already given him two models already including the beautifully designed adidas Lucas Pro that we reviewed back in 2012.  This time around, adidas not only gave us the opportunity to test out the shoe, but also let us host another Weartested Event where we invited 15 local skaters in Shanghai to test out the technical elements of the shoe at 3 infamous spots that Lucas Puig skated in his “Something Sinister” video part. Check out the review below to get our feedback on the newest Lucas Premiere ADV, and watch the video after to see some shredding at Shanghai’s most buttery spots.

耐磨性:

像adidas的高尔夫鞋啊、网球鞋啊还有跑步鞋,为了抵抗磨损,adidas的研发部门开发了一种叫做adiTuff的新型耐磨材料来抵抗高强度的磨损。这听起来也像是非常适合滑板鞋的一种材料,adidas Skateboarding也注意到了这一点,并最后在他们最新的Adi-Ease产品线中首次运用了这项技术。这种adiTuff材料在Lucas Premiere ADV的鞋头里也可以找到,其表面是一层高质量的麂皮,而里面补充了一层涂层来加强鞋子的耐磨性。当第一次穿上鞋时,adiTuff就让你的脚趾感觉被很好得保护到了,不会有什么擦伤,过了一段时间后,麂皮变得更软更舒服,但是最开始那种在鞋头里的安全感也没有消失。而其他鞋子的鞋头就不会有这种情况,随着滑的越来越多,这也确实成为了鞋子的一大亮点。也就是说,鞋子整体的耐磨性是比较均衡的,鞋头保持得非常完美,麂皮材料也是异常耐磨,鞋子的kickflip和ollie区域只有非常少的磨损痕迹。但是,鞋子树胶色的硫化底区域就承受了大部分的磨损,这种树胶材料在第一阶段的测试中就磨损得相当快。

Durability:

To combat the wear and tear for many of adidas’ golf, tennis and running shoes, the R&D department at adidas developed a new abrasion resistant material to combat excessive wear named adiTuff. This sounds exactly the type of material suitable for skate shoes. Adidas Skateboarding took notice of that and finally debuted this technology with their most recent line of Adi-Ease models. This adiTuff material is also found in the toecap of the Lucas Premiere ADV, which is made of a high quality suede material on the surface, and complemented by an interior layer of coating to strengthen the durability of the shoe. When first putting the shoe on, the adiTuff makes the toes feel extremely well protected from bruising, and after a few sessions, the suede breaks in better without sacrificing the initial toe-cap protection feeling. This is not always taken into account in the toecaps of other shoes, and was quite an appreciative highlight with more time skating in the shoes. With that said, the overall durability of the shoe was fair. The toecap held up fantastic, with the suede material proving to be extremely durable as there were very few signs of wear in the kickflip and Ollie area of the shoe. However, the gum colored vulc area of the shoe took most of the abuse, with the material of the gum wearing down quite fast during the first few sessions.

缓冲性:

Lucas本人穿大多数鞋子滑板的时候都不会放鞋垫的,所以最初也是想要打造一双完全没有鞋垫的Lucas premiere ADV。有了这种想法,adidas Skateboarding针对Lucas premiere的缓冲性能主要就是要让其缓震系统尽可能的小,此外,通过去除多余的缓震系统,鞋子也变得更轻更舒服,非常适合那些喜欢滑平地、台子还有中低冲击地形的滑手。这双鞋的缓冲元素是一个非常简单的二合一系统:锥形中底上加一片非常薄的鞋垫,来均匀地分散落地时的冲击从而避免脚受伤,二合一的缓冲系统可以在切割图中清楚地看到。这双鞋的缓冲性能对于中低等冲击来说一点问题都没有,但是要滑一些大于8阶的地形,无疑对你的脚来说是一个很大的挑战。

Cushioning

Lucas himself skates most of his shoes without an insole, and initially wanted to create the Lucas premiere ADV with absolutely no insole. With that in mind, adidas Skateboarding’s main focus of the cushioning features of the Lucas premiere were to make them as minimal as possible. Moreover, by removing excess cushioning, the shoe is much more lightweight and comfortable, a win win situation for those who mostly skate flatground, ledges and low to medium impact spots. The shoe’s cushioning elements are a simple 2-part system: an extremely thin insole resting over a tapered crating midsole, which disperses the impact from landings evenly out to avoid hurting the feet. The two part cushioning system is easy to see in the half cut diagram. The shoe’s cushioning is no problem for low to medium impacts but skating anything bigger than an 8 stair will definitely be a bigger challenge for your feet.

形状:

Lucas Premiere ADV的形状很有意思,它看起来像那种非常苗条的鞋子,中足区域周围是最瘦的地方。在中足区域后面的脚跟处就变得宽一点,但是宽不太多。而鞋头那边才是鞋子真正最宽的地方,这从鞋底的图片中就可以留意到。从表面上看,鞋头不会太尖,而是非常的圆滑,这在做翻板和pop的招时就能让表面有更多的区域来进行摩擦。更不用说,有着adiTuff材料的鞋头是相当的稳定,所以滑板起来就更加的舒服,毕竟你知道自己的脚趾被很好地保护到了。后跟鞋领处的填充物也是非常的少,看来细长的中足区域就是为了固定脚的位置。

Shape

The shape of the Lucas Premiere ADV is quite interesting. It looks like a very minimal slim fit shoe, with the slimmest section around the midfoot area. The heel following the midfoot section becomes a bit wider, but not by much. The toecap is actually the widest part of the shoe, which is quite noticeable in the picture of the sole. On the surface, the toecap is not too pointy, and very well rounded; this allows for a wider surface area for abrasion and grip when flick and popping tricks. Not to mention, the toecap is quite sturdy with the adiTuff material so skating is much more comfortable knowing that the toes are well protected. There is very minimal padding around the heel collar, so it seems that the slimness around the midfoot section is really what secures the feet in place.

控板感和抓板性:

如果说Lucas和adidas的团队想在Lucas premiere ADV上要注重体现一个鞋子的特点,那就是鞋子控板感和抓板性了。鞋子的构造算是杯状底鞋和硫化鞋的一个混合体,从脚后跟到中足区域是像之前提过的锥形系统的杯状底。而从中足到脚趾区域,鞋子就是硫化外底了,这也是旨在增加鞋子的抓板性。鞋子的抓板性非常出色,adiTuff有助于做一些要pop的招,而硫化外底对一些翻板招做起来就很适合。鞋子外底的那些纹路也是一个不错的特点,它是由一些比较深的交叉纹路构成从而增加鞋子的抓板性。控板感也是鞋子的一大亮点,尽管缓冲能力是那么小,但是控板感却是尤其杰出的。即便是刚从鞋盒里拿出来,鞋子穿起来就已经很适应了,灵活性也很好。为了增加鞋子的稳定性,鞋后跟处还有一块由橡胶复合材料制成的橡胶块,但这有助于增加做heelflip时的抓板性。最后,鞋子的鞋底是相当令人印象深刻的,鞋底一点磨平的迹象也没有,在10小时的测试后也依旧能保持很长的寿命。

Boardfeel and Grip

If there was a characteristic of the shoe that Lucas and the team at adidas wanted to focus on with the Lucas premiere ADV, it would the shoe’s boardfeel and grip. The construction of the shoe is a mix between a cupsole and vulc. From the heel to the midfoot, the shoe features a cupsole construction with the tapered crating system as aforementioned. From the midfoot to the toe however, the shoe features a vulcanized outsole, which is aimed to increase the grip of the shoe. The grip was fantastic; adiTuff helped popping tricks, while the vulcanized outsole helped flick tricks. A nice feature was also the added texture on the outsole of the shoe, which featured a deep-cut herringbone pattern to increase the grip of the shoe. Boardfeel was also a highlight of the shoe. Since the cushioning was extremely minimal, boardfeel was exceptional. Even out of the box, the shoe feels broken into, and also very flexible. There is also a rubber heel cap made out of a treaded rubber composite whose main purpose to is to provide stability, but helps with gripping heelflips as well. Lastly, the sole of the shoe was quite impressive, showing absolutely no blow out spots and proving that there was much more life in them after the 10 hour weartest.

舒适性和稳定性:

在我们网站上测试的很多鞋子都会有一个缺陷,在设计过程中也经常不会被考虑到,就是鞋子的透气性。在滑板过后脚不可能不出汗,有时候这些汗水就会影响到鞋子耐磨性和材料的表现,鞋头褶皱、鞋垫吸收冲击的能力有所下降这种事经常会有。而Lucas Premiere ADV的透气性就尤为出色,至少可以说是呼吸着新鲜空气的。确实很难找到一双鞋是那么轻又有如此出色的透气性和稳定性,而Lucas Premiere ADV就找到了一种方法使这三者都结合到了一起,他们在鞋身侧面运用了一种耐用的人造网面材料,贯穿了整个鞋子的三分之二。在一段时间后,这种网面材料就超过了预期的效果,这种网面并不会被撕拉扯坏,鞋子也是非常牢固,没有出现松散的缝线,从鞋身侧面透过侧面的透气孔就能看到鞋子里面。鞋子的鞋舌也是由相同的网面材料制成,表现得也很出色,在测试过程中都没有挪动,透气性也很好。

Comfort and Stability

Many shoes we review on this website usually has one flaw that isn’t always taken into consideration during the design process: the breathability of the shoe. It’s impossible to not get sweaty feet after skating, and sometimes the sweat will affect the performance of the shoe’s durability and material; it happens too often when suede toecaps often get rippled or insoles lose their potential for impact absorption. With the Lucas Premiere ADV, the breathability of the shoe was outstanding, and a breath of fresh air, to say the least. It’s quite hard to find a shoe that is extremely lightweight, breathable, and also stable. But the Lucas Premiere ADV found a way to incorporate all three components by using a very sturdy synthetic mesh material for the sidewalls that spans across two-thirds of the shoe. After a few sessions, the mesh material started to exceed expectations; the mesh did not tear or rip apart, the sturdiness of the shoe did not falter, and no loose seams appeared. When looking from the side of the shoe, it is easy to see through the shoe, and breathable holes that are added into the sidewalls. The tongue of the shoe is also made from the same mesh material and was a nice feature since it stayed in place during the session, and was also very breathable.

总结:

Lucas Premiere ADV确实给我们带来了很多惊喜,虽然它是一双简单的低帮鞋,但是它的控板感、抓板性和舒适性也是引以为傲的。不过话说回来,鞋子的缓冲性和耐磨性这些小缺点也是值得被改善的。

Summary

The Lucas Premiere ADV was quite the surprise; although it is a simple low profile shoe, it boasts technicality in boardfeel, grip, and comfort. With that said, small tweaks could be made to improve the cushioning and durability of the shoe.
