Why We Love This Deal
Adidas just cracked open a late back-to-school sale just ahead of Labor Day, with markdowns on everything from bestselling sneakers to running shoes and so much more. For those looking for something other than Sambas and Campus sneakers, you can instead opt for an equally stylish sneaker in the Busenitz Vulc II Skate Shoe for almost half the cost.
The Busenitz Vulc II Sneakers are on sale for just $42 at Adidas, a 44% discount on their normal price tag of $75 when you use the code SPLASH at checkout. These stylish kicks go beyond skateboarding, similar to the way a pair of Vans does, as their handsome construction makes them a fashionable choice for any fit. They have a 4.7-star rating among their 1,800 reviews, and shoppers have gone as far as calling them “style meets comfort fancy enough for work.”

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes: 5 to 14
- Colors: Black/White, Black/Carbon, Orange, Olive, Charcoal
- Weight: 14.8 ounces
These skate shoes will do more than just help you nail the perfect kickflip, thanks to their thoughtful design. For starters, this updated version of the skating icon, the OG Busenitz Vulcs, prioritizes features that promote comfort and long-term durability, while drawing some style inspiration from the legendary Gazelles, like the 3-stripe design, suede craftsmanship, padded comfort collar, and forefoot stitching.
To ensure these actually perform well when skating, they are made using a vulcanized rubber outsole for direct upper-to-sole welding and oven-cured finish. They also have a stabilizing heel counter and fit much better than previous versions. They come in five colors, in sizes 5 to 14.
What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper said, “I’ve been a DC/Vans/Airway skate shoe guy for the last 30-plus years. I didn’t know what I was missing until about a year ago when I bought my first pair. I don’t think I’m going back.”
Another skater had similar feelings, saying, “Best flick in the game—You won’t hardflip without these. My skating leveled up when switching from the cupsole.”
For just over $40, the Busenitz Vulc II Sneakers are a cheap way to upgrade your style and take your skate skills to the next level. You’ll have to act quickly, though, as this sale only lasts until Aug. 27, so grab your pair today.
