Similar to her spirited and energetic video parts, Steenhoudt’s first signature colorway for the Samba ADV by Maité introduces a playful personal touch that sees her handwriting in the stitched details and a unique hidden red layer under the T-toe that gets exposed over time with wear. She also includes a hidden message for her Antwerp skate crew on the sockliner and a subtle nod to her mother and grandmother on the shoe collars.
Reconceptualized for skateboarding, the Samba ADV by Maité highlights a hairy suede upper for durability; a cup sole construction for bolstered support; translucent gum rubber to enhance foot stability; and custom footbed artwork. Steenhoudt maintains the bold and iconic black & white aesthetics for the classic silhouette.
