We were super excited to hear that Nora Vasconcello’s new Pro Model Adidas shoe is dropping today. It’s being billed as Nora’s first pro model shoe. But what about those gorgeous lavender canvas Nora’s with her artwork on them that we wrote about (and bought) a few years back - were those not her first pro model shoe as well? A bit confusing, but we’re all about this drop nonetheless!

The adidas Nora is set to be Nora Vasconcellos’ first signature Pro footwear with adidas Skateboarding. Previewed below, the adidas Norafuses design cues from the brand’s Steffi Graf, Nastase and other classic silhouettes into a sleek and timeless model. A model that truly made with the skate in mind, details include a dual-layer toe cap design for added durability and tooling that meshes the vulc aesthetic and grip with the support of a cupsole for extended boardfeel.

The launch of the adidas Nora will be accompanied by an apparel pack carrying the same vintage court style theme motif with advanced updates on fit and material. The collection’s NORA TRACK TOP & NORA TRACK SLACKS are created from technical recycled polyester twill for enhanced stretch and durability. While the accompanying NORA POLO is laced with the pluralist skater’s original artwork jacquard knitted into it in a tonal execution, which becomes more visible as the eye moves closer into the details. All apparel pieces feature a UNITEFIT design that’s universal sizing to ensure the collection is accessible to everyone.

“I’m so proud and excited to share my new silhouette with the world. It has been an unreal experience working with adidas to make my dream come true,” says Nora Vasconcellos. “I originally looked into adidas’ tennis classics to find an aesthetic that I would have found in my mom’s closet back in the ‘90s, which was my biggest inspiration for the pack. Designing the pieces has been an incredible and in-depth process filled with excitement and gratitude. I hope this collection inspires everyone to pursue the things they may think are unattainable. Having my own shoe was so beyond my wildest dreams.”

The adidas Nora will debut in three different colorways and will be available for purchase starting TODAY October 1 at Adidas.com and in select skate specialty retailers for $80.

The apparel will be available starting on October 18 through the same platform and locations retailing $75-$90.
